    Fox News host Jeanine Pirro was subjected to a brutal fact check from her colleague Monday after she heaped praise on former President Donald Trump's response to Hurricane Helene.

    Pirro argued it was President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris' duty to do what Trump did Monday and appear on the ground after the deadly storm claimed more than 100 lives.

    "This is what leaders do," Pirro said. "This is what Trump has done. He endears this sense of confidence. He's going to fight for us."

    The Fox News pundit argued Biden and Harris prioritized the war in Ukraine over American residents ransacked by severe weather, such as those hit by unprecedented wildfires in Hawaii last year.

    While Pirro suggested the Biden Administration's lone response was to cut Maui residents a $700 check, a White House brief from February shows the city received $330 million in federal assistance and that hundreds of aid workers remained on the ground six months later.

    "This is about leadership," Pirro said. "You've got to go to the people."

    Pirro's praise was not shared by Trump's critics, who argued his appearance in Georgia on Monday drew officials away from cleanup efforts and that he politicized a national tragedy by falsely claiming Biden had not reached out to local government .

    When asked how she viewed Trump's appearance, Jessica Tarlov, Fox News' liberal commentator, confessed she did not share Pirro's views.

    "[I see it] dramatically differently than how my colleagues see it," Tarlov replied. "I guess if someone had found him 11,237 votes [in Georgia's 2020 presidential election] it would have gotten better — but he's a loser there."

    Tarlov then quipped Trump would see Georgia voters respond to him the way they had in 2020.

    "He shows up on a lot and people see him and vote against him," Tarlov said. "Trump and his supporters are running the same old tired playbook."

    Tarlov then noted there was just one president who had denied aid to a state in the wake of a devastating national event — in 2017, when Trump was in office.

    "[North Carolina Gov.] Roy Cooper asked, after Hurricane Matthew, for a lot of money and he got 1 percent of his ask," Tarlov said. "They denied 99 percent of what he was asking for after that hurricane came."
