  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

An isolated incident, a single transgressor. Way too much publicity.

I guess the story tried to counteract the former Trump aides who revealed he only wanted FEMA to help.the states who voted for him. When he was reminded many people there supported him and should not be punished, he grudgingly relented.

Both transgressors-- the low level employee and 45, should have been punished.

A high level Democrat would never behave so shamefully.

There are higher level Republicans and Democrats who have acted much worse.

FEMA supervisor who told team to ‘avoid’ homes with Trump signs says she’s a ‘scapegoat’

That supervisor, Marn’i Washington ... told the Washington Examiner that not only did she and her teams canvas houses with Trump signage, “we’ve registered and provided resources to Trump supporters.”

She explained the full context: Washington let her supervisors “know specific streets we could not do because of hostile political encounters,” and according to communications obtained by the Washington Examiner, she was encouraged and supported in her decision to avoid certain streets “to keep the team safe.”

Washington noted that the next bullet point on the leaked message spoke about de-escalation, which she said was necessary because “FEMA workers were having their lives threatened.”

Several of these hostile encounters were documented in the media, but Washington is demanding FEMA “turn over incident reports” showing additional hostilities that resulted in her having to avoid certain streets.

The Washington Examiner filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the Department of Homeland Security to obtain these reports.

Could be she's lying to try to save some semblance of dignity. Could be she isn't. Maybe we'll find out.
