‘Yet another reason Biden-Harris in final days,’ Ron DeSantis says


The Federal Emergency Management Agency is investigating allegations that workers were instructed to avoid homes displaying signs supporting Donald Trump during hurricane relief efforts in Florida. The guidance, reportedly issued by a FEMA supervisor, left Trump-supporting residents without aid, prompting criticism from Gov. Ron DeSantis.

An internal FEMA message instructed relief workers to “avoid homes advertising Trump” during surveys after Hurricane Milton in Highlands County, Florida, according to The Daily Wire. Highlands County, a conservative area, was severely impacted by the hurricane.

FEMA supervisor Marn’i Washington conveyed this instruction verbally and via a group chat, the Wire said, citing government employees. Washington led a Department of Homeland Security surge capacity force assisting FEMA.

I think that Marni Washington has been relieved of her duties by FEMA. However, she ought to also be fired in disgrace. Also, I want to know if her subordinates actually did follow her instructions about homes & properties with Trump signs. If any of them did so, then lawful reprimands should be facing them as well.

There are real documented instances about Trump's not helping Democrats.
He got the idea for this outright lie by surveying his own disgraceful history.

Anyone that puts a campaign sign in their yards are taking a lot of chances these days given how unhealthy the political divide is these days. Seems there is no such thing as Americans anymore. It what party you align with to deserve help. I don’t think it would of been safe to even put out a Sonski sign.

There were no signs at all in my immediate neighborhood ...
a few , only a few, as one spread out from here.

I love the American flag.
I love to hang it out proudly on holidays.
But I feel it is no longer safe to do.
If one puts out a flag, many are quick now to label us as fascists, naziis, white supremacists.
It just isn't worth the risk, in my situation, to put her out there.

And neighbors on my Ring camera?
They report having their flags stolen from their yards. Trump signs destroyed.
These are crazy and dangerous times were are living in ...

This story is very alarming.
I hope such discriminatory behavior will end when President Trump returns to office.

FEMA Fires Official Who Told Hurricane Relief Workers to Skip Trump Homes​


The FEMA supervisor who ordered relief workers to bypass the homes of Donald Trump’s supporters while administering hurricane aid in Florida has been fired following the Daily Wire report.

FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell announced Saturday that supervisor Marn’i Washington had been fired after she ordered federal employees under her supervision to“avoid homes advertising Trump” as they canvassed Lake Placid, Florida to identify residents who could qualify for federal aid, according to messages shared with The Daily Wire by whistleblowers. These instructions were given both verbally and in writing, multiple government employees revealed.

“More than 22,000 FEMA employees every day adhere to FEMA’s core values and are dedicated to helping people before, during and after disasters, often sacrificing time with their own families to help disaster survivors. Recently, one FEMA employee departed from these values to advise her survivor assistance team to not go to homes with yard signs supporting President-elect Trump,” Criswell said in a statement. “This is a clear violation of FEMA’s core values and principles to help people regardless of their political affiliation. This was reprehensible.”

“I want to be clear to all of my employees and the American people, this type of behavior and action will not be tolerated at FEMA and we will hold people accountable if they violate these standards of conduct,” she added.

I hope that is a lesson learned that we do not have any second class citizens in America. There should be no citizens relegated to being in a 'basket of deplorables' or considered to be 'garbage'.

She should be ashamed of herself. She’s too hateful and extreme.

Florida Gov. DeSantis Launches Probe After FEMA Worker Fired for Not Aiding Trump Supporters​

From the article:

“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,” DeSantis said on social media.


Amen to that.
