Donald Trump supporters were outraged on Saturday when Vice President Kamala Harris made a comment in support of the citizens of Lebanon.
Many Lebanese citizens have been caught in the crossfire as Israel bombards Hezbollah, a militant group, with missile attacks in and around the country's capital, Beirut. Israel is responding in part to a barrage of missiles from Hezbollah that began on Oct. 8, the day after the deadly attack by Hamas in Israel.
Harris responded by offering her concern, as well as an update on funding, on the same day she visited North Carolina to survey storm damage.

"The people of Lebanon are facing an increasingly dire humanitarian situation. I am concerned about the security and well-being of civilians suffering in Lebanon and will continue working to help meet the needs of all civilians there," Harris wrote. "To that end, the United States will provide nearly $157 million in additional assistance to the people of Lebanon for essential needs such as food, shelter, water, protection, and sanitation to help those who have been displaced by the recent conflict. This additional support brings total U.S. assistance to Lebanon over the last year to over $385 million."
That didn't sit well with Trump supporters.
Trump's senior campaign adviser, Chris LaCivita, replied with, "Tone Deafness runs in Washington."
Eric Daugherty, the Assistant News Director for the conservative-leaning Florida's Voice, responded with, "To be clear - Kamala Harris' campaign-suicidal post this evening focusing on LEBANON while major disaster rescues and recovery are underway is an admission she is losing Michigan right now."
Trump-aligned podcaster Tim Pool asked, "How the f--- is this real??"
"Kamala announcing she gave our money to Lebanon for aid during a disaster," he then added.
Rick Scott, a senator from Florida and an ally of Trump, said, "If we renamed Florida and North Carolina to Lebanon and Ukraine, maybe Kamala Harris would send disaster relief faster."
"She’s made it clear that being Americans puts us last in line," Scott added.
Harris actually spent the day Saturday in North Carolina, where she "met with local officials to receive an update on Hurricane Helene recovery efforts, spoke with several families impacted by the catastrophic storm and helped at a donation center," according to USA Today's weekend reporting.
