This is a real segment that aired Sunday night 😂
It's 13 minutes long, but A+ comedy. I'll give you the highlights below.

A pattern has emerged in recent years in which malicious conspiracists and white supremacists show up to hard-hit communities, as they did in Texas, offering help.
As usual, 60 Minutes doesn't define their terms. I've been told I'm a conspiracist for thinking men can't become women, for example, and that I'm a white supremacist because I believe gay-BLM communism is bad.
The only definition 60 Minutes gives before jumping into images of Hurricane Helene in 2024 is that these racist conspiracists tell people that they can't trust the government:
They've been called 'disaster tourists' who are out to sow doubt in government, soften their own image, and gain followers.

After two whole minutes of solidifying the idea in the viewer's mind that white people only saved thousands of people in North Carolina because they want to recruit them to racist terrorism, 60 Minutes finally names a single, small group amid the tens of thousands of volunteers that has actual white supremacist beliefs:
"Active Club."
With nearly 90 chapters, it's been described as one of the country's fastest-growing white supremacist networks that are antisemitic, anti-immigrant, and anti-democracy.
These guys are actual Nazi wannabes:

But AGAIN, 60 Minutes paints with a broad brush. President John Adams and most of the Founding Fathers were "anti-democracy," as are, well, most Republicans, who believe in a republic, not democracy. The majority of conservatives also want mass deportations.
Because 60 Minutes doesn't define their terms, this connects a fringe group with an estimated 1,200 members to half of the nation that voted for Trump.
Lesley Stahl then tried to get Active Club founder Robert Rundo to admit to being a white supremacist who would let non-white people die, but he didn't take the bait:
Robert Rundo: I'm a nationalist.
Lesley Stahl: What does that mean?
Robert Rundo: A nationalist?
Lesley Stahl: Yeah.
Robert Rundo: It means I put my people first.
Lesley Stahl: Would you say 'white supremacist?'
Robert Rundo: No. I think that's like a slander-ish term.
Lesley Stahl: But "My people" are white people. European white people.
Robert Rundo: Right. And there's plenty of organizations that are geared towards other ethnic groups, right If we don't look out for ourselves, who is?
Lesley Stahl: I know that your organization has gone to floods, fires, hurricanes. What if you came upon someone who wasn't white, but is suffering because of the flood?
Robert Rundo: Like if there was, like, a guy in a fire, would I give him water? Yeah. I'd probably give him some water.
Has Lesley ever invited on BLM, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or other ethnic-supremacist groups to ask the same questions? There are hundreds of them that work to advance their ethnic priorities, many with official ties to the Democratic Party.
60 Minutes provides no other example of a white supremacist group as evidence that this is a widespread problem. Instead, they used a small group with a handful of members across the U.S. as an anecdote to push for a larger narrative:
That you should always trust the government!
Sheriff Lowell Griffin: The misinformation took a bad situation and actually complicated a bad, bad situation.
Lesley Stahl: But sheriff, they're coming in because they think the government isn't doing anything.
Sheriff Lowell Griffin: So what I would say, for all these outside folks that are really wanting to help, they need to get their information from official sources, and not from TikTok or Facebook or whatever the flavor of the day is with social media.
Lesley Stahl: What was some of the misinformation that was being spread?
Sheriff Lowell Griffin: That there were people that were still stranded, that there were bodies floating in the river. That FEMA was rationing supplies and seizing supplies. None of that was true.
I'm not sure where 60 Minutes found this sheriff, but he was useful to paint with those broad brushstrokes. There are always false conspiracy theories about, well, everything.
But we watched the videos of damage and stranded homeowners with our own eyes. We saw clips of bodies being recovered from the floodwaters.
And we know the federal government's response was DISMAL:
Liberal FEMA workers avoided Trump supporters' homes out of political hatred. Not a theory. Fact.
Civilian pilots, who rescued thousands of people on their own dime, said the federal government was nowhere to be seen. Stranded victims said the same.
Whistleblowers told Congress that the Biden admin failed to communicate with local first responders and misappropriated funds: "Critical management issues."
Biden's FEMA spent $1 billion to house illegal aliens in cities across America between 2023 and 2024, which drained the resources FEMA had available when Helene hit.
It's almost like 60 Minutes aired yet another segment to remind its viewers that government can be trusted, you can't trust your eyes, and all white guys are Nazis who only want to help you because they want to make you a Nazi too.
Why?
Well, remember the news about the SPLC that released last week? News that might have made libs realize their side is funding the racism?

Sadly, millions of libs will stop asking questions after 60 Minutes reminds them that white dudes are the real bad guys.
