Democrats, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, have sought to claim that National Weather Service staffing shortages in Texas mean deaths from the flooding are Trump’s fault, an argument Leavitt rejected.
“Unfortunately, in the wake of this once-in-a-generation natural disaster, we have seen many falsehoods pushed by Democrats such as Senator Chuck Schumer and some members of the media,” Leavitt said, according to a video posted to X.

“Blaming President Trump for these floods is a depraved lie, and it serves no purpose during this time of national mourning,” she said.
