President Joe Biden accused former President Donald Trump and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Wednesday of spreading false claims that have hampered federal efforts to prepare for Hurricane Milton, which is expected to make landfall in Florida on Wednesday night. During an update on the federal government’s hurricane response, Biden expressed frustration over the “reckless, irresponsible, relentless promotion of disinformation and outright lies,” which he said were undermining the recovery efforts led by his administration and FEMA.
“For the last few weeks, there’s been a reckless, irresponsible, relentless promotion of disinformation and outright lies that are disturbing people,” Biden stated. “It’s undermining confidence in the incredible rescue and recovery work that has already been taken and will continue to be taken. And it’s harmful to those who need help the most.”
Biden directly accused Trump of leading the spread of false information. “Former President Trump has led the onslaught of lies,” he said. Biden addressed several specific claims that have been circulating, including accusations that the government is confiscating property and that only $750 in relief funds would be distributed to storm victims. “That’s simply not true,” Biden emphasized, dismissing other claims that storm relief money is being diverted to migrants as “ridiculous.”
The president also singled out Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for her “bizarre” allegation that the federal government is controlling the weather. “Now the claims are getting even more bizarre,” Biden said. “Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, a congresswoman from Georgia, is now saying the federal government is literally controlling the weather. We’re controlling the weather! It’s beyond ridiculous. It’s got to stop.”
Several Congressional Republicans, including Rep. Chuck Edwards, have joined the Biden administration in debunking the misinformation, issuing memos to clarify the facts and combat conspiracy theories surrounding the recovery efforts for Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton.

If Donald Trump was president there would be no war in Ukraine. There would be no October 7th massacre. There would be no wasteful Obamacare because all the sick would be healed. And if Donald Trump would be president there would be no hurricanes. He would take his magic sharpie and wave them away.
Greene on Wednesday elaborated on her remark, highlighting that the NOAA government website has a library catalog of 1,026 entries of weather modifications — which the organization has been deleting as it faces scrutiny online.
“Everyone keeps asking, ‘who is they?’ Well some of them are listed on NOAA, as well as most of the ways weather can be modified, because they are required to report it to the Secretary of Commerce by the Weather Modification Act of 1972,” she wrote.
