I—I just find it—and I know I use the phrase more than I’ve used it ever my whole career—un-American. It’s un-American. It’s not who the hell we are. What are they talking about?…

Joe Biden: Former President Trump has led the onslaught of lies. [about hurricane response]. Assertions have been made that property is being confiscated. That’s simply not true. They’re saying people impacted by these storms will receive $750 in cash and no more. That’s simply not true. They’re saying the money needed for this crisis is being diverted to migrants. What a ridiculous thing to say, it’s not true…. Now the claims are getting even more bizarre. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, the congresswoman of Georgia, is now saying the federal government is literally controlling the weather. We’re controlling the weather. It’s beyond ridiculous…

The reason I get so angry isn’t because of what he says about me—I don’t care about that—but because of what he’s communicating to people in need. He’s suggesting we aren’t doing everything we can, but we are. You’ve probably heard the Republican Governor of Georgia mention this; he’s been on the phone with me more than once. So, it’s just not true. And frankly, it’s irresponsible…
