The chaos caused by the widespread levels of misinformation and disinformation in North Carolina about the source of Hurricanes Helene and Milton has put the lives of hurricane Relief Workers at risk. Some Government representatives in North Carolina were forced to leave damaged areas due to reports of threats from armed civilians out “hunting” for hurricane relief workers.” These armed individuals and other disillusioned persons are breaking the law, and they must be held accountable.

Incitement is being used by many right-wing Republicans to intimidate and threaten Relief Workers and others. What’s happening here is an illegal form of incitement that must be modified and strengthened. In short, the incitement laws need more teeth, and again, those who use incitement to fan the flames of racism and hate must be held accountable.

We must remember that Trump’s incitement speech on the Ellipse on January 6, 2021, encouraged the Capitol riots. The violence and thuggery used by Trump’s supporters on J6 were the ultimate and criminal level of INCITEMENT! Some have asked, did Trump’s words at the rally incite violence? Yes, his words did incite violence and yes, people died that day. One might ask, how much nastiness is too much? The answer is that any amount of nastiness is too much. In closing, it’s time to “Dump The Trump.”
