Fox News host Sean Hannity has criticized Vice President Kamala Harris's response to Hurricane Milton, accusing her of trying too hard to sound informed and politicizing the situation.
Fox News host Sean Hannity has vehemently condemned the Biden-Harris administration's handling of Hurricane Helene and the subsequent politicization of Hurricane Milton in his opening monologue on "Hannity." Hannity claims that Vice President Harris has been absent from hurricane preparedness briefings for years but has suddenly become visible due to the upcoming election.
Despite the catastrophic impact of Hurricane Helene, Hannity lambasts Harris and President Biden for their "absolute worst" response in American history. He references an incident where Harris covered her mouth and was heard saying "It's a live broadcast" to her staff during a briefing on Hurricane Milton, suggesting a lack of genuine concern.

Hannity also criticizes Harris's recent performance at a hurricane briefing, where she allegedly stumbled and stammered while attempting to appear well-informed. He alleges that she tried to communicate with a staffer on a hot mic while shielding her mouth, exposing her unpreparedness.
Furthermore, Hannity accuses Harris of neglecting to contact Florida Governor Ron DeSantis during previous hurricanes in the state. He claims that she attempted to politicize the situation but highlights DeSantis's proactive response by deploying over 50,000 personnel to deal with Hurricane Milton's aftermath.

Hannity speculates that Harris's recent flurry of media appearances, particularly with outlets he deems as "state-run media," may be driven by poor internal polling results. He concludes by mocking the vice president's attempts to sound credible, stating that she "is trying so hard to sound so well-informed, which she's not."
The White House has not yet responded to Hannity's allegations, but Governor DeSantis has praised the federal government's response to Hurricane Milton and emphasized the collaboration between state and federal agencies.
