Georgia residents left devastated by destructive Hurricane Helene were told by Vice President Kamala Harris that they could get a few hundred dollars to help in the immediate aftermath of the deadly storm.

Harris and the Biden administration came under heavy fire for adding insult to injury for those who’ve lost possessions, homes, and even loved ones after the monster storm slammed Florida as a Category 4 hurricane.

The Democratic presidential nominee arrived in Georgia for her photo-op and a stunning reminder of the administration’s concerns and priorities were evident days after former President Donald Trump rolled through storm-ravaged areas to survey the damage.

Harris toured Augusta and spoke with Mayor Garnett Johnson after a briefing from local officials at the Augusta Utilities offices.

“I’m here today to thank all of those who are working to get folks the help they so desperately need and deserve,” Harris said after a close-up look at the damage.

She touted the administration’s efforts to help those in desperate need, reminding families who have essentially lost everything that they can look forward to $750 from the federal government.

The VP was blasted on social media for the out-of-touch remarks and empty gestures to American families suffering in the wake of the deadly hurricane, with many reminded of the federal response to victims of the 2023 Maui fire in which 102 people died and where more than 2,000 structures were destroyed.
