State Sen. Kevin Corbin calls out “conspiracy theory junk” about unburied bodies and FEMA stealing money.

A Republican senator in the North Carolina legislature has issued a public plea for people to stop spreading conspiracy theories about the disaster recovery efforts in areas ravaged by flooding from Hurricane Helene.

In a Thursday afternoon Facebook post, state Sen. Kevin Corbin, who represents the state’s westernmost area, asked his followers for a favor: “Will you all help STOP this conspiracy theory junk that is floating all over Facebook and the internet about the floods in WNC.”

    All I hear is

    “Government bad! Government bad! Government bad!”.

    <crisis that affects me> " WE NEED HELP FROM THE GOVERNMENT".

    All while all the other assholes that aren’t affected going “Government bad! Government bad! Government bad!”

    And Vance and all the others making up stories and admitting to making up stories to help…just help someone else.
