NOAA publicly releases internal memo criticizing 'political' influence on Hurricane Dorian controversy

The memo's public release -- it had been originally sent to NOAA staff on Sunday, according to a copy obtained by CNN -- marks the latest development in the controversy surrounding Trump's false assertion about Dorian's path. On Friday, NOAA had disavowed a tweet from the National Weather Service's Birmingham, Alabama, office contradicting Trump's claim.

"That was the original chart, and you see it was going to hit not only Florida but Georgia," Trump claimed in the Oval Office while displaying the map."It took a right turn.

Any dumb ass knows the storm was not expected to turn north that soon because the cold front came faster than expected due to Northern Arctic forest fires,which Trump suporters have been kept in the dark over. Politicizing climate change don't change it's reality.
