During a recent segment on Fox News, host Martha MacCallum confronted Alina Habba, an attorney and aide for Donald Trump, after she claimed there were “babies floating in the water” during Kamala Harris’s vice presidency. The controversial statement was made in reference to the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.

MacCallum addressed Habba directly, highlighting criticism aimed at Trump for allegedly spreading misinformation following the hurricane. “You know, there’s been criticism about former President Trump, … and what he has said about the ability of the administration to respond to this issue,” the Fox News host stated, pressing Habba on her claims.

In response, Habba defended her comments with a heated response, saying, “Let’s talk about facts. … Let’s talk about information that is undisputable. While Helene was happening, Kamala decided it was more important to go on a podcast about sex, Call Her Daddy.” She emphasized that she was presenting facts and insisted, “This is not the time to politicize. This is not the time to try and get a point ahead of your other opponent. It’s the time to get dirty and go help people.”

Habba continued her defense of Trump, arguing that he hadn’t resorted to making “phony phone calls to look good to the media.” She also pointed out the devastation in western North Carolina, asserting that the region had been hit hard and was still in desperate need of aid. “They need help. They need water. There are still people missing,” she stated.

Ramping up her claims, Habba added, “There are babies floating in the water. And we’re on podcasts. That’s what the Harris team is doing.” MacCallum, appearing skeptical, asked Habba to clarify the source of her information. “Where did you see that report of a baby floating in the water?” the host questioned, clearly probing for evidence behind the attorney’s alarming statement.

Habba stood by her claim, repeating, “We have absolutely heard there are children floating. There’s missing bodies, dead bodies.” Despite her insistence, MacCallum’s questioning suggested doubt, and the segment left viewers with an open-ended debate on the veracity of Habba’s assertions.

The interview highlighted the ongoing political tensions surrounding disaster response efforts and raised questions about the spread of information and its role in shaping public opinion. As the exchange between MacCallum and Habba demonstrated, the debate over accountability and fact-checking in politics remains a contentious issue.
