**White House Rebukes Trump for Misinformation and Lack of Condemnation of Violent Threats**
The White House has expressed strong disapproval towards Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, for disseminating what it termed as "dangerous misinformation." This criticism comes on the heels of Trump's recent comments following Hurricane Helene, where Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) workers have been threatened.
While addressing the press in Swannanoa, North Carolina, Trump was questioned about his role in potentially hampering the recovery efforts after an individual was taken into custody for menacing federal relief workers. Rather than condemning the threats or expressing concern for the safety of the FEMA staff, Trump doubled down on false claims, echoing some of the suspect's statements.
The White House emphasized that such rhetoric not only spreads misinformation but also puts lives at risk, particularly those of federal employees committed to providing essential relief to hurricane-hit areas. Critics argue that Trump's failure to denounce violence against these workers and his focus on unsubstantiated charges undermines the government's disaster response efforts.
