Kamala Harris’s stolen valor running mate got slammed for a tone-deaf fundraising tweet amid deadly flooding from Hurricane Helene.
More than 1,000 people are unaccounted for after Hurricane Helene made its way through Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and the Carolinas this weekend.
At least 100 people have perished.

Voters slammed Tim Walz.
I cannot believe you just posted this when people are literally dying in Western NC, TN, GA & SC. Over 1,000 people are missing and 30+ people are dead and you are saying people can “sleep when we’re dead” WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!?

So Tim Walz is trying to raise money at the same time the Southeast is devastated by massive flash-floods and de*th?
Shame on Walz. If he had an ounce of morality he’d at least donate to their recovery or actually head down there to show he cares.
What a horrible human being.

My God you are absolutely tone deaf/soul less. This is what you have to say when thousands of Americans have just experienced the worst disaster since Katrina?

THIS is the message you’re rolling with as our fellow Americans in North Carolina are fighting for their lives — with so many missing and feared dead?
Meanwhile, Kamala is MIA.
Shame on you, Tampon Tim. You’re a disgrace. pic.twitter.com/YNXImm5bK6
