Former FEMA chief says North Carolinians seem mostly happy with her disaster response – critics simply "do not understand what we do"

I'm sorry, but what planet is this lady living on???

Jake Tapper: Why do you think there's been such blowback and criticism from the people in Western North Carolina about FEMA's response?

Deanne Criswell: I would say the people I talked to in North Carolina were very grateful for our response. I was on the ground personally for four weeks.

Everyone you talked to was happy with FEMA? Everyone?

Maybe that's because FEMA was ordered to stay away from Trump supporters?

Tapper, the king of fake news, was so taken aback by this lady's delusional response that he had to pivot and make it a hypothetical instead.

Tapper: Let's just posit for the sake of argument ... that it's a minority of people in North Carolina, why do you think those people are being critical.

Criswell: Because they don't understand what we do.

Yes, if the people only knew that government's job was simply to obstruct REAL charity and relief and hand out checks days and weeks post-disaster, then they would be totally cool with it.

Those silly people surviving the winter in tent cities just don't understand how amazing FEMA is:

I'm sure everyone was just imagining the lackluster response from the federal government.

You don't hate the bureaucracy enough.
