President Biden addressed the exploitation of affected Americans during recent hurricanes, warning against price gouging and misinformation, particularly criticizing Donald Trump's rhetoric.
Biden said: "Anyone who seeks to take advantage of our fellow Americans' desperation, whether you're a company engaging in price gouging or a citizen trying to scam your neighbors: we'll go after you and we'll hold you accountable."
He condemned the "reckless, irresponsible disinformation and outright lies that continue to flow" since Hurricane Helene, emphasizing the negative impact of misinformation on recovery efforts.
Biden noted that Trump’s statements about the administration's response to hurricane disasters were untrue, highlighting that Republican governors of harmed states acknowledged federal support.
