Hurricane Milton is wrecking Kamala Harris campaign: Letters to the Editor — Oct. 12, 2024

The Issue: Back-to-back hurricanes wrecking havoc across the Southeastern United States.

As Hurricane Milton barreled toward Florida, I wondered what the evacuation would look like if everybody were driving electric cars (“Kamala’s Hurricane-Week Disasters,” Editorial, Oct. 11).

The grid wouldn’t support charging them all at once, and the slow moving gridlock would soon have them all out of charge, leaving everyone stranded.

This would be the future Vice President Kamala Harris has in mind for us.

I mourn the staggering losses inflicted by major storms this year and pray for the best for the huge numbers of individuals who have been impacted by them.

As Florida is bearing the brunt of significant weather changes that are making hurricanes more deadly, I wonder whether voters in this red state believe that it is wise to vote for a presidential candidate who believes that climate change is a hoax, and who has pledged to reverse many of the means of addressing the phenomenon that have been instituted by President Biden.

It’s frightening and sad that the terrible catastrophes from Hurricanes Helene and Milton might very well be the “October Surprise” that could conceivably change the course of the coming presidential election.

One has to admire the performance of Gov. Ron DeSantis.

This is leadership personified.

He is to be applauded for his calm resolve and planning to get ahead of the impact and provide for the subsequent follow-up required.

Moreover, he was right to dismiss a perfunctory political phone call from Harris, seeking to inject herself into the effort with the hope of gaining profile.

This was no time for amateurs.

The Issue: The blowback at CBS following two instances of alleged anti-Israel bias.

Per The Post’s report that CBS has instructed its news staff not to refer to Jerusalem as part of Israel, I submit that this is yet another layer of insidious anti-Israel sentiment that seems to be prevalent at CBS (“Tiffany Jerusalem memo,” Oct. 11).

Viewed in conjunction with the earlier admonishment of CBS Mornings co-host Tony Dokoupil for merely confronting Israel-criticizing author Ta-Nehisi Coates with several reasonable and objective questions, this leaves no doubt as to where the source of anti-Israel bias is coming from.

The Post’s criticism of CBS for the alleged “blowback” to Tony Dekoupil’s questioning of Ta-Nehisi Coates is just another attack on the left (“The Shame of CBS,” Editorial, Oct. 10).

It’s common knowledge that Israel is surrounded by countries that want to eliminate it.

But did Dekoupil think to ask Coates about the 800,000 Palestinians displaced when the state of Israel was created?

There will never be peace in Israel until there is a two-state solution, and until Benjamin Netanyahu — who is avoiding jail by going to war — is out of office.

Until then, there will only be more bloodshed, and more innocent lives lost.
