Stephanopoulos blames downpour deaths on Trump: Liberal Media Scream
Teh article discusses recent comments by George Stephanopoulos regarding the tragic deaths caused by flash flooding in texas. Stephanopoulos attributed some of the blame to President Donald Trump, suggesting that staffing cuts at the National Weather Service contributed to the disaster. The severe flooding, resulting from an unexpected 11-inch downpour, has led to over 80 fatalities, including children at a Christian camp. In contrast to Stephanopoulos’s assertions, local officials indicated that warnings had been issued and that the area is prone to flooding events.
As the situation continues to develop, Trump characterized the disaster as a “100-year event” and planned to meet with affected families. Critics argue that the media,particularly Stephanopoulos,are politicizing the tragedy and pushing narratives against the Trump administration rather than focusing on the facts surrounding the disaster. The article highlights the contentious nature of political discourse in the face of national tragedies and the differing perspectives of media figures and local authorities on the incidents.
Stephanopoulos blames downpour deaths on Trump: Liberal Media Scream
The weekend saw some of the most embarrassing efforts by the liberal media to take President Donald Trump down, this time blaming him for the horrific flash flood deaths in Texas.
The early morning flooding that has so far claimed the lives of more than 80, including children at a Christian girls camp, hit with little warning after a downpour dumped some 11 inches of rain that ended up in the Guadalupe River on Friday.
Trump called it a 100-year event on Sunday and is planning to meet with families this Friday.
Even as the search for survivors continued, the media tried to blame Trump and staff cuts at various federal weather agencies. Leading that effort was ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, who said on This Week, “There were significant staffing shortfalls to the National Weather Service offices in the region.”
Most weather and state local officials have been quick to note that the area often floods and that notices were sent out after midnight. Blame isn’t what most wanted to cast, but the Washington media did anyway — something they didn’t do when Hurricane Helene crashed through the southwest last year, killing 230.
Even the reporter on the scene in Texas, Mireya Villarreal, didn’t take the Trump-hating bait from Stephanopoulos, a one-time top aide to former President Bill Clinton and his wife, Hillary.
From ABC’s This Week with George Stephanopoulos:
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: We’re also learning there were significant staffing shortfalls to the National Weather Service offices in the region.
MIREYA VILLARREAL, IN KERRVILLE, TEXAS: As of right now, the local county officials didn’t want to address that just yet. What they are telling us is they expected between 4 and 6 inches of rain. That is what weather experts told them. The National Weather Service as well. They also knew, in remote locations, they might get anywhere from 8 to 10 inches, but this amount of rain in such a short amount of time, it was very difficult to navigate. And when the Department of Homeland Security secretary was here just yesterday, she acknowledged this was an issue. She was going to take these concerns to the White House as well and try and see if there was anything they could do to revamp the system. She says the president is committed to it.
Remember that Stephanopoulos worked in the Clinton White House and managed comms for Slick Willy’s ‘bimbo eruptions’. Lying to the public is easy and natural when it suits his political purposes. https://t.co/8r3iq2oqkh pic.twitter.com/6itfz51mVj

Brent Baker, the Steven P.J. Wood senior fellow and vice president for research and publications at the Media Research Center, explained our pick: “Liberal Democratic activists develop an attack line against the Trump administration, and Stephanopoulos dutifully jumps to repeat it. In this case, in the most distasteful way, trying to score political points at the very moment dozens of parents were desperately searching for their missing children. But with Stephanopoulos, it’s politics ahead of facts as his contention has been undermined by, amongst others, the union representing the NWS meteorologists.”
