Tavia Hunt, wife of Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, took to social media, calling out FEMA for allegedly diverting $1.4 billion earmarked for hurricane relief to other causes. According to Hunt, FEMA has redirected these funds over the past two years to address the needs of illegal immigrants, due to what she describes as “open-border policies.”
Her frustration boiled over as she pointed out that, while there was money for foreign aid, there wasn’t enough for those suffering at home from natural disasters like Hurricane Helene.
Hurricane Helene has left devastation in its wake, claiming over 220 lives and causing widespread destruction. As victims struggle to rebuild their lives, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has made a shocking announcement: there may not be enough funds to handle another disaster this season.
FEMA’s declaration has sparked outrage, accusing the agency of misusing funds intended for American disaster relief.
In an Instagram post, Hunt didn’t hold back: “We sent another $5.7 billion to Ukraine, but there’s no money for American catastrophes. FEMA doesn’t have enough for hurricane season, but they’ve been spending on everything else.”

Her remarks weren’t an isolated critique. Rachel Bush, wife of Miami Dolphins star Jordan Poyer, echoed similar sentiments. After FEMA’s announcement about low funds, Bush also took to social media to slam the organization for mishandling taxpayer dollars. Responding to a fan who defended foreign aid as essential, Bush countered by saying that FEMA’s specific hurricane relief funds were misused by the current administration. “What do you have to say about that?” she asked.
Unfortunately, we don’t even need to dive into your inaccurate statement since the FEMA funds that are specifically designated to aid in situations like this have been used improperly by the current administration. What do you have to say on that? https://t.co/kmwQnIqfRH

Bush and Hunt’s frustrations point to a growing concern among Americans about where their tax dollars are going. With inflation on the rise and FEMA’s funding in question, both women have become vocal critics of the government’s priorities. Last month, Bush made headlines for speaking out against Vice President Kamala Harris, while Hunt recently criticized the country’s handling of economic issues.
Their outrage comes at a time when FEMA is under intense scrutiny. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas acknowledged that FEMA currently has enough resources to handle the immediate needs from Hurricane Helene, but admitted the agency may not have sufficient funds if another hurricane strikes soon. “We are meeting the immediate needs with the money we have, but we do not have the funds to make it through the season,” Mayorkas stated.

This isn’t just a debate about money—it’s about priorities. Hunt and Bush’s call to refocus FEMA’s resources toward domestic disasters raises the question: should foreign aid take a backseat to help Americans at home? Both women, using their platforms, have made it clear that they believe the answer is yes.
As more hurricanes loom on the horizon, FEMA’s funding shortfalls will likely remain a hot topic, with more voices joining Hunt and Bush in demanding answers. With the victims of Hurricane Helene still struggling, the pressure is on for FEMA and the government to address these concerns and ensure relief reaches those who need it most.
