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.”

    Mayor Glenn “the Dubya Dubya Eff’s Kane” Jacobs of Knox County, TN, is doing the same thing. Look man, I don’t want people to have to suffer more than they already are, but you reap what you sow and if you want this to stop, you best be cleaning up the mess you made yourself.
