Harris slammed for pledging millions to Lebanon as North Carolina suffers
Story by Michael Lee • 17h
Users on social media took aim at Vice President Kamala Harris after the Democratic nominee took to X to pledge millions of dollars in aid for Lebanon at the same time residents of North Carolina struggle to recover from Hurricane Helene.
"This has to be fake. Even Kamala Harris, the gold standard of stupid, isn’t stupid enough to post this," actor James Woods said on X Saturday. "Certainly not while North Carolinians are pulling the bodies of their neighbors from the wreckage. It’s simply inconceivable."
The post came in response to Harris pledging Saturday to send $157 million of "additional assistance" to Lebanon, which, she argued, is "facing an increasingly dire humanitarian situation."
"I am concerned about the security and well-being of civilians suffering in Lebanon and will continue working to help meet the needs of all civilians there," the vice president said, adding that the money would go to "essential needs," including "food, shelter, water, protection, and sanitation to help those who have been displaced by the recent conflict."
