CNN’s Erickson falsely suggested Obama ignored Tennessee flooding
On RedState.com, CNN contributor Erick Erickson falsely suggested that President Obama “never addressed [Nashville, Tennessee] after its horrific floods.” In fact, Obama acted swiftly to provide federal aid to the area and won praise from Tennessee Governor (and former Mayor of Nashville) Phil Bredesen.
Erickson alleged that President Obama “never addressed” the floods in Tennessee
Erickson: “Barack Obama never addressed [Nashville] after its horrific floods.” From a June 7 edition of Premiere Radio Networks’ The Rush Limbaugh Show:
RICH: Like you said, nobody’s hardly talking about it in the media. I find it ironic that our President will go on and make a special speech about everything under the sun every other minute, but hasn’t come on to talk about Tennessee.
LIMBAUGH: He hasn’t. Well he knows he doesn’t have any constituents there to speak of.
