President Donald Trump is not backing down on his claim that Alabama could have been hit by Hurricane Dorian -- even after government meteorologists disputed that was the case.
The president first drew criticism for this claim Sunday after saying multiple times that Alabama was in the storms path, tweeting,"In addition to Florida - South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama, will most likely be hit harder than anticipated." Soon after, the National Weather Service tweeted that was not the case. At about the same time, Trump repeated that claim to reporters at the White House, saying,"Alabama is going to get a piece of it, it looks like.
"This is the original path that we thought -- and everybody thought that this was about a 95% probability," he said."And it turned out to be not that path. It turned out to be a path going up the coast," Trump said. "That map that you showed us today, looked like it almost had, like, a Sharpie written on it," a reporter said during a second White House event on Wednesday.
