Republican strategist Shermichael Singleton criticized CNN media reporter Brian Stelter on Thursday evening for his “arrogant” dismissal of the challenges faced by Americans dealing with failing educational systems and deteriorating infrastructure.
Hurricane Helene resulted in over 200 fatalities, with residents in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia continuing to face difficulties in recovering from the resulting wind damage and flooding. Singleton emphasized that the Biden-Harris administration allocated hundreds of billions of dollars to Ukraine, contrasting this with the inadequate response to the devastation experienced in western North Carolina and other regions of the southeastern United States following the hurricane, after “CNN NewsNight” host Abby Phillip highlighted that Russia initiated the Ukraine War.
“I agree with that. Putin obviously started the war. I am not negating that,” Singleton said. “My point is that a lot of people look at how much money we spent on this conflict and they‘re asking themselves, ‘My roads are crumbling, my schools suck. We just had major disasters across the country, FEMA doesn‘t have enough money.’”
