North Carolina state senator urges people to stop spreading conspiracy theories about disaster recovery efforts.

The storm has killed more than 200 people across six states, with more than 70 of those deaths in western North Carolina .

Some right-wing influencers on social media have described a federal government that’s indifferent to lifesaving efforts by private citizens.

Former President Donald Trump claimed Monday that government officials were “going out of their way to not help people in Republican areas” and that the Joe Biden administration spent down FEMA funds on housing for undocumented immigrants.

The White House on Friday called it a lie.

North Carolina State Sen. Corbin said in a Facebook post that FEMA was on the scene, as were National Guard soldiers and power company workers.
