Sally Kohn : Former President Trump has lied repeatedly about the disaster response to hurricanes.

She says the lies tie up resources, enrage and distract elected officials, demoralize workers and invite threats of violence.

The thing is, when you talk to people actually living through the after-hell of the hurricanes, they are complimentary about the federal and local response, Kohn says.

Nell felt guilty about applying for help, but FEMA official told her, “Don't feel guilty. You did have loss, and you did have problems.” When she learned that she would receive a $ 750 reimbursement, she was torn.

“I had heard rumors there was trouble with FEMA and they weren’t around and no help was available,” she said.
