ICYMI: FEMA ‘horrified’ After Confirming Workers Directed to ‘avoid homes’ with Trump Signs in Hurricane-Ravaged Florida Community; FEMA Official Told Relief Workers to Skip Trump Supporters’ Houses in Wake of Hurricane; FEMA Official Fired for Directing Hurricane Relief Away From Trump Supporters’ Homes

FEMA ‘horrified’ after confirming workers directed to ‘avoid homes’ with Trump signs in hurricane-ravaged Florida community:

A Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) supervisor told disaster relief workers in Florida to “avoid homes” with signs supporting President-elect Donald Trump, the agency confirmed Friday.

The FEMA official — Marn’i Washington — conveyed her edict both verbally and in a Microsoft Teams chat used by relief workers canvassing Lake Placid homes ravaged by Hurricane Milton last month, according to the Daily Wire.

“Avoid homes advertising Trump,” Washington wrote in a “best practices” memo to employees.

The order was the second bullet point in a list instructing workers to not go “anywhere alone,” practice “de-escalation,” stay hydrated and to “follow the rules.”

FEMA employees told the outlet that at least 20 homes displaying Trump signs or flags — a common sight during election season — were passed between the end of October and into November because of the order.

“Trump sign no entry per leadership,” read messages left by workers in FEMA’s tracking system when homes were skipped because of the banners.

By ignoring the homes, residents were denied the opportunity to sign up for federal FEMA disaster relief assistance in the wake of the Category 3 hurricane’s landfall.

A FEMA spokesperson confirmed that orders to bypass the homes of Trump supporters were given, and said that the agency was “deeply disturbed by this employee’s actions.” —>READ MORE HERE

Fema official told relief workers to skip Trump supporters’ houses in wake of hurricane

A Federal Emergency Management Agency official has been suspended after ordering disaster relief workers to skip the homes of Donald Trump supporters.

The Fema supervisor told staff to “avoid homes advertising Trump” in a “best practices” memo as the agency carried out relief efforts in Lake Pacific, Florida, following the devastation of Hurricane Milton.

The storm made landfall on Oct 10, causing an estimated $34 billion in damage and claiming the lives of at least 14 people.

As a result of the instruction, at least 20 homes with Trump signs or flags were ignored between the end of October and early November, meaning residents were not given the chance to qualify for the agency’s multi-billion-dollar aid scheme, government employees told The Daily Wire.

Images shared with the outlet showed that after skipping homes with Trump paraphernalia outside, workers entered messages into Fema’s tracking system such as: “Trump sign no entry per leadership.”

Ron DeSantis, Florida’s Republican governor, said he has directed state officials to investigate the incident.

“The blatant weaponization of government by partisan activists in the federal bureaucracy is yet another reason why the Biden-Harris administration is in its final days,” Mr DeSantis wrote on X.

“At my direction, the Division of Emergency Management is launching an investigation into the federal government’s targeted discrimination of Floridians who support Donald Trump.” —>READ MORE HERE
