In a post to X on Saturday, Kamala Harris spoke of people who are "facing an increasingly dire humanitarian situation." The Democrat presidential candidate said she was "concerned about the security and well-being" of those people.
The people she was talking about are in Lebanon ... the country.
The feds are sending $157 million in humanitarian aid to the Middle East nation that has a large Iran-backed terrorist presence.
“To that end, the United States will provide nearly $157 million in additional assistance to the people of Lebanon for essential needs such as food, shelter, water, protection, and sanitation to help those who have been displaced by the recent conflict. This additional support brings total U.S. assistance to Lebanon over the last year to over $385 million,” Harris wrote.
As Breitbart's Kristina Wong noted: "This is while thousands of Americans lost their homes, businesses, belongings, pets — and in some cases family members – due to Hurricane Helene wreaking destruction across the nation’s southeast last weekend, and are only getting $750 in immediate assistance.
"As of Friday, nearly 300,000 American homes and businesses were still without power a week after the hurricane. More than 220 Americans were killed by the hurricane, with hundreds more missing. Recovery efforts are still underway and some towns are still cut off from aid, only able to receive supplies via air."
Check out the ratios on Harris's post and the one by Secretary of State Antony Blinken touting the aid to Lebanon:
