She said in the video they got shot at when trying to restore power so they packed up and left. Makes sense to me.

This is almost assuredly mosinfo spread by the local power company to cover for their lack of response

FEMA was getting shot at in North Carolina in 2024, so much so that FEMA had to rearrange and limit their response. There were arrests and plenty of official documents on the matter.

Which isn't surprising given that social media was spreading the rumor that FEMA is confiscating people's property, forcibly evicting them, shooting people's pets, and is exclusively being used to fund Biden's immigrant take over of America. But yeah, that's not the misinfo worth calling out I guess.

Do you want me to call out every piece of misinformation every uttered in a single comment on a post about Gary Indiana?

No one is asking you to call out every piece of misinformation, don't be so obtuse. You getting pushback on which misinformation you're downplaying.

You looked at a comment pointing out the real life results of right wing terrorism caused by right wing misinformation, actively dismissed it, and decided it must be corpo misinformation. Of course you're getting criticism.
