"I’ve not gotten a single call from the White House, but this man and his team have been in touch with us from Day 1,". When we looked into Moore’s statement about his communication with the Biden administration, we found the White House attempted contacting Moore at least three times by phone or email, and spoke with his staff, but Moore never personally responded.On Sept. 30 and Oct.
In an Oct. 24 interview with PolitiFact, Moore said he was unaware that the White House staffer had called and emailed his office. That’s because he was traveling through western North Carolina surveying damage and because the White House staffer spoke with a member of Moore’s staff — not Moore himself — a detail the White House confirmed.
Moore said Trump, former U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, and Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley each called him in the days after Helene hit. Gabbard visited Moore’s district and brought generators, chainsaws and other useful supplies, he said."There has been a lot of extra calls that we've had to make that we shouldn't have had to make," Moore said.
Moore said that although the White House deserves scrutiny for its funding priorities, he’s tried to avoid bringing politics into the disaster response. Moore said he also wants to give credit where it’s due. “It has just come out that Democrats in Washington and the Democrat Governor’s Office of North Carolina were blocking people and money from coming into North Carolina.”
