Woke/DEI FEMA is facing a horrendous scandal. A scandal so awful that it proves once again how the left has politicized everything, including humanitarian services for hurricane-ravaged Americans. A FEMA supervisor has just been fired after it was revealed that she ordered her staff not to help Trump-supporting victims.
A Federal Emergency Management Agency (Fema) supervisor has been fired for telling staff helping hurricane survivors to skip houses displaying signs supporting Donald Trump.
The agency’s head, Deanne Criswell, described the supervisor’s actions as “reprehensible”, saying Fema takes its mission “to help everyone before, during and after disasters seriously”.
Although Criswell’s statement on X does not indicate when or where the incident took place, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said the Division of Emergency Management would be launching an investigation at his direction.
DeSantis called the situation “targeted discrimination” of Trump supporters in Florida.
Clearly, there’s an anti-Trump, politically weaponized atmosphere within FEMA; otherwise, something this horrific would have never happened. The BBC piece continues:
Fema staff have been in Florida helping residents recover from Hurricane Milton last month, and needed to survey damage to homes to assess who qualified to apply for federal aid.
The Daily Wire reported on Friday that Fema staff had been checking on homes in Lake Placid when they were ordered to skip properties that had yard signs supporting the Republican candidate.
“Trump sign no entry per leadership,” said internal messages in a government system, reports the Daily Wire.
“When we got there we were told to discriminate against people,” a whistleblower told the outlet. “It’s almost unbelievable to think that somebody in the federal government would think that’s okay.”
Criswell, the Fema director, ended her statement saying that she “will continue to do everything I can to make sure this never happens again”.
