Conservatives seized on an out-of-context clip of Vice President Kamala Harris to make it seem as if she said federal storm relief would be based solely on race and equity. Here are the facts.
Trae tha Truth surveys storm damaged areas with a resident while looking to help storm victims in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian Sunday, Oct. 2, 2022 in Fort Myers, Fla. The Houston rapper’s Angels By Nature organization traveled to Florida to help those affected by the devastating storm. He said his group did more than 300 rescues in various locations in Florida.
"I’m gonna unpack that question," Harris responded with a laugh, before giving a more-than-five-minute answer that touched on a number of topics, including Hurricane Ian, the Biden administration’s climate policies and disparities among those harmed by climate change.PolitiFact is a fact-checking project to help you sort out fact from fiction in politics.

Harris’ comments made the rounds on social media and conservative news outlets such as Fox News and The Daily Caller before Scott’s TV appearance. Harris responded first by touting the $369 billion in funding in the Inflation Reduction Act"dedicated to addressing the climate crisis," which she said is a crisis"evidenced by Ian, by the wildfires happening in California, the floods, the hurricanes.
Andrew Bates, White House deputy press secretary, called the claims Scott and others made"inaccurate." "She had explicitly moved on to answering the second question — on ‘long-term goals’ for how to ‘address the climate crisis in the states’ — by mentioning the long-term investments that Congress, with Republican support, specifically set aside for communities that are vulnerable because of a lack of infrastructure resources," the statement said.
