The left is famous for not allowing a crisis go to waste and MSNBC’s Joy Reid is no exception.

…even if she has to lie to pull it off.

Amid catastrophic and life threatening flooding in the Houston area, the MSNBC host took to Twitter to get her Trump hate on.

Responding to a social media user taking issue with President Donald Trump saying things are under control in Houston, Reid proceeded to claim: “No FEMA director, no NOAA director and no head of DHS. Plus an administration filled with cronies and climate change deniers. Going great!”

Reid conveniently overlooked FEMA Administrator Brock Long, Acting Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Elaine Duke and Benjamin Friedman, who is performing the duties of NOAA Administrator.

Do Brock Long (FEMA director), Benjamin Friedman (NOAA head), and Elaine Duke (DHS head) know that they don’t exist?

As she is wont to do when posting inaccurate liberal propaganda, Reid responded to her tweet with a correction, leaving the false tweet standing — the response getting only a fraction of the views as the original.

‘Ovaries across America just exploded’: Houston SWAT officer carries woman and baby, then rescues the puppies!

Correction: there IS a FEMA director. Thanks to all the tweeps who corrected me on this! Keeping the tweet to salvage the replies. Thx.

The reaction on social media was quick, detailing the “seditious lies” taking place while people suffer.

Here’s a sampling of responses from Twitter:

As people in Texas suffer, this is what seditious lies look like. https://t.co/hZlbfX4tb5

GP The notion that citizens helping rescue fellow citizens during Harvey is proof Trump and Texas have somehow failed is profoundly stupid. https://t.co/tb5ZrDi6ua

*groan*. So many dullards think that lack of climate orthodoxy caused a hurricane by some kind of sympathetic magic. https://t.co/PmM8veMsPr

A simple Google search would have verified that none of this is true, but why would someone paid to give their opinion bother with that? https://t.co/Seq4KWQSyG

Isn’t Jared responsible for water, floods and stuff?
