'He Just Makes It Up': Mitt Romney Slams Trump For Lies About Migrants, FEMA Aid

"When it comes to taking a holiday from the truth, he's taken the longest vacation," the Republican senator from Utah said of the former president Tuesday.
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) criticized former President Donald Trump on Tuesday for spreading falsehoods about immigrants and the federal government’s response to devastating Hurricane Helene.
“Trump told us that people in Springfield are eating dogs and cats. He likewise said that FEMA money, our emergency money, instead of helping people that were hit by the hurricane is being used to help illegals. I mean, he just makes it up,” Romney said during a discussion at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City.
“He is able to spew enough disinformation that the Chinese must be smiling,” the GOP’s 2012 GOP presidential nominee added.
Trump has spent the past week lying about Helene, which devastated parts of the Southeast, and the way the White House has been handling it. He’s falsely claimed that President Joe Biden ducked calls from Georgia’s Republican governor, that the White House is neglecting to help conservative-leaning areas affected by the storm, and that Harris spent “all” the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s disaster relief money on housing undocumented immigrants.
“He’s lying ... and the governor told him he was lying,” Biden said of Georgia GOP Gov. Brian Kemp at the White House last week.
