Kamala Harris Criticized for Post Announcing U.S. Aid to ‘People of Lebanon’

BREITBART

Vice President Kamala Harris was criticized for a post on Saturday announcing the United States would “provide nearly $157 million in additional assistance to the people of Lebanon.”

In a post on X, Harris said the $157 million in aid to people in Lebanon would be for “essential needs such as food, shelter, water, protection, and sanitation.” Harris’s post came a day after U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken declared that the U.S. would provide people in Lebanon with almost $157 million in aid.

“The people of Lebanon are facing an increasingly dire humanitarian situation,” Harris wrote in her post. “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.”

Harris continued:

To that end, the United States will provide nearly $157 million in additional assistance to the people of Lebanon for essential needs such as food, shelter, water, protection, and sanitation to help those who have been displaced by the recent conflict. This additional support brings total U.S. assistance to Lebanon over the last year to over $385 million.

The people of Lebanon are 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.

To that end, the United States will provide…

People took to social media to criticize Harris’s tone-deaf post as people in western North Carolina, and other communities are still dealing with the damage from Hurricane Helene.

“It’s almost impossible to take this comment as anything other than an intentional act of publicly broadcast hatred and derision for Americans in Appalachia right now,” William Wolfe, the Executive Director for the Center for Baptist Leadership wrote in a post on X.

“Kamala is touting giving money to the people of Lebanon — while stiff-arming the humanitarian crisis in North Carolina,” Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) wrote in a post on X. “This is Kamala’s Katrina.”

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical.
