The North Carolina National Guard explained to the Daily Caller why a plane loaded with aid for those affected by Hurricane Helene during Vice President Kamala Harris’ visit never made the delivery following claims that the visit was staged.
While on Shawn Ryan’s podcast Thursday, Aerial Recovery members Jonathan Howard and Charlie Keebaugh claimed that the North Carolina National Guard had to load an entire C-17 with supplies just to stage a photo op for Vice President Kamala Harris, adding that the loaded plane was never sent to aid in hurricane relief.
Harris visited the North Carolina National Guard base Oct. 5 to see how first responders were responding to Hurricane Helene.
Lt. Ellis Parks, the Director of Public Affairs for the North Carolina National Guard, told the Caller that the visit was not a photo op and that the plane suffered mechanical issues, which kept it from making its trip.
The aid loaded on the original plane, however, did make it to hurricane relief efforts the next morning, Parks told the Caller.
