Former President Donald Trump complained that Hurricane Helene “hurt a lot of my voters” in a stunning rant to Fox Nation host and ex-Trump spox Kellyanne Conway that began with a question about early voting.
Trump and others have launched false attacks on President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, who have been very publicly involved in the response to Hurricane Helene — a response that has received praise from officials like Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA) and officials from every state affected.
But on Monday’s edition of the Fox Nation program Here’s the Deal with Kellyanne, Trump brought up the disaster in terms of its effect on his own voters — then went off on a rant in which he leveled those false attacks again and urged voters to turn out as revenge for the (false) things he claims his opponent did:
DONALD TRUMP: You have to get more votes than we should have to get. And I said in–
KELLYANNE CONWAY: Does that include early voting, are you encouraging people if they feel comfortable–
DONALD TRUMP: Sure, early voting I like–.
KELLYANNE CONWAY: Mail in voting.
DONALD TRUMP: Early vo– I like all voting.
KELLYANNE CONWAY: Will you vote for yourself early in Florida? If you show people that–
DONALD TRUMP: It’s– early voting is great. I think it’s great. The main thing I want is voting. All right.
A lot of people like the Tuesday voting. You know, they like it. And Republicans traditionally like to vote on Tuesday. …Early voting. It is great if you want to do early voting.
We have a problem in North Carolina. We had a big hurricane and really hurt a lot of my voters. And I hope–
KELLYANNE CONWAY: And you’re headed to Georgia today–.
DONALD TRUMP: I hope that my voters, I mean, they lost their homes and they’re being treated horribly by Biden and Harris. Nobody knows her as Harris, You know, you say “Harris,” everyone says “Who’s Harris?”, but they’re being treated terribly by Biden and Harris. Very little relief.
They’re going out of their way to hurt these people. And I hope they just say, “We’re going to get you and we’re going to, we’re going to not let–“.
You know they’re being treated very badly in the Republican areas in North Carolina. The the the government is treating ’em very– it’s a it’s a Democrat.
KELLYANNE CONWAY: I hope they get the need. What they need–
DONALD TRUMP: They’re being treated very badly.
And the Biden-Harris team is also treating Republican areas–. They get, not getting water. They’re not getting anything. I hope they’re going to say “We’re going out to vote. We’re going to get rid of these people because they have destroyed our country.”.
What they’ve done to our country. The good news, I’m going to fix it. But if we have another four years like this, it’s no longer we have no country. It’s no longer fixable.
So let me just end with a little positivity. We’re going to make America great again greater than ever before. It’s not too late.
We have to get out and vote in any form you want, but you got to vote. You got to make sure your vote is counted and you can do that.
All of those people that were affected, this was a big thing that happened. You know, that was, some people say, the biggest hurricane they’ve ever seen.
And from a water standpoint, I guess it was.
If you can get out and vote, because some areas that are like 100% Trump have been just decimated. And if I were president, it would be taken care of so well.
But these people are going just they’re going out of their way to hurt these people, which shows you how sick and how evil this administration is.
