North Carolina Rep. Chuck Edwards (R) hammered the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) during an interview, saying the agency needs to be overhauled and have a new director at its helm.

“Well, we continue to be frustrated with FEMA, their communication, their sensitivity, quite frankly, to those folks who have lost their homes, who are displaced because of the storm,” Edwards, whose district suffered devastating damage and flooding from Hurricane Helene four months ago, said during his Tuesday appearance on NewsNation’s show “The Hill.”

“That is an organization that clearly needs to be overhauled, and I'm anxious to be a part of that after January 20,” he told host Blake Burman.

Burman then asked the GOP lawmaker how he would modernize the government agency.
