President Trump toured Central Texas on Friday, where the death toll throughout Texas has risen to more than 100 people, with dozens missing.
After the tour, Trump spoke at a roundtable event alongside Texas Governor Greg Abbott and other local and state officials.
CBS News Texas reporter Marissa Armas asked the President about flood warning alerts before the tragedy, “Several families we have heard from are obviously upset because they say that those warnings, those alerts didn’t go out in time, and they also say that people could have been saved. What do you say to those families?”
“Well, I think everyone did an incredible job under the circumstances. I guess, like Kristi said, a one in 500, one in a thousand years, and I just have admiration for the job that everybody did. It was just admiration. Only a bad person would ask a question like that, to be honest with you. I don’t know who you are, but only a very evil person would ask a question like that,” responded Trump.
The President continued, “I think this has been heroism and this has been incredible, and the job you all have done. It’s easy to step back and say, ‘Oh, what could have happened here or there? Maybe we could have done something differently.’ This was a thing that has never happened before. Nobody has ever seen anything, I’ve never seen anything like this. I’ve gone to some real bad ones, and I’ve never seen anything like this. I admire you and I consider you heroes and heroines, and I think you have done an amazing job.”
CBS News Texas said “there is mounting frustration in Kerr County, which has the highest death toll of any county, over an apparent lack of answers to these questions.”
