Georgia’s Republican governor praised Democratic President Joe Biden for reaching out to him in the wake of Hurricane Helene’s deadly devastation as the state and surrounding areas scramble to recover from the disaster.

Former President Donald Trump told a different story when he landed there to survey the damage.

“The governor’s doing a very good job. He’s having a hard time getting the president on the phone,” Trump told reporters. “The federal government is not being responsive.”

It wasn’t true.

Here’s what Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp had to say about Biden and the feds:

The president just called me yesterday afternoon. I missed him and called him right back and he just said, ‘Hey, what do you need?’ And I told him, ‘We got what we need. We’ll work through the federal process. He offered that if there’s other things we need just to call him directly, which I appreciate that,” Kemp said.

“We’ve had FEMA embedded with us since a day or two before the storm hit in our state operating center in Atlanta. We’ve got a great relationship with them,” he said.

    You sure do spend a lot of time trying to make me feel bad, for someone who supposedly doesn’t care what I think.

    In fact, by your own metric, the amount of times you’ve responded reveals strong feelings on the matter. Or do you not realize that that was an obvious projection?

      So now you complain that I respond to you? If you don’t want a response why not stop? I’ll tell you why. Because, in your world if you have the last say you win! A ridiculous notion but there you are. You now are angry that I don’t Play your game. So sorry. And also sorry you feel “bad”, but after all you did it to yourself.

        No, not at all. I’m quite enjoying this. It’s very entertaining watching your flail around.

        Because, in your world if you have the last say you win! A ridiculous notion but there you are.

        You’ve, multiple times, tried to get me to stop posting, when all you’ve had to do was stop responding to me; this is your most obvious projection yet.

        And also sorry you feel “bad”,

        You’ve intentionally and directly insulted me numerous times. It’s obvious you want me to feel bad. Why pretend it’s not your goal?

          Oh again you go into the barrel. This is taking boring to a new level. Let’s see…

          First we start with the classic “No, you stop” … Old and never in the top 40. My simplest response, you first. Obviously you enjoy this stupidity, so it could go on for days

          I didn’t insult you. I told the truth and you took it as an insult. I don’t want you to feel bad. I could care less how you feel. You are just an anonymous entity on a chat board.

          Guess that’s it for now

            No, please don’t stop. It’s hilarious how long you’ve gone while at the same time repeatedly stating how boring it. lol Who does that? Eventually I’ll bore of watching this desperate attempt to win by getting the last word in, and then I’ll just leave. This is how people who don’t have to get the last word in act. But for now it’s some good entertainment throughout the day.

            Obviously you enjoy this stupidity, so it could go on for days

            Well, you don’t enjoy it, as you’ve repeatedly called it boring, and yet you seemingly can’t just walk away. It’s like you want to make it extremely obvious that your “you have to get the last word in!” is just a massive projection.

                is this the part where you both spend an hour going through each other’s entire comment history and down vote every single thing?

                  That sounds like something I don’t care about as well.
