As North Carolina Flood Victims Begged For Help, Mayorkas Went Boutique Shopping In Georgetown: Report
SUMMARY
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas reportedly went on a luxury shopping spree in Georgetown over the weekend, while flood victims in southern Appalachia pleaded for disaster relief. According to the Washington Free Beacon, Mayorkas, recently impeached by the House for mishandling the border crisis, was seen at Sid Mashburn, a high-end menswear store, purchasing items where suit jackets cost up to $3,000. Meanwhile, more than 170,000 North Carolina residents remain without power following Hurricane Helene, which caused massive flooding and claimed 227 lives. Many communities are still awaiting critical supplies, including food, clean water, and medical oxygen for home-bound seniors. Although FEMA, overseen by Mayorkas, typically provides pre-staged disaster relief, the response to Hurricane Helene has been criticized as severely lacking. FEMA's budget constraints were cited as a reason for the delays, but the agency has spent over $1 billion on services for illegal aliens.
