It’s been reported that whistleblowers have come forward with proof that a FEMA supervisor told relief workers in Florida after Hurricane Milton to avoid and ignore going to homes with Trump signs, flags and banners. The Daily Wire first reported the story.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has already said that his state will conduct a separate investigation, but so far, not surprisingly, there doesn’t seem to broad media interest in this story. CNN has a story posted on their website, and Fox News had this:
.@FoxNews reports on @FEMA withholding hurricane relief from homes with Trump signs: “FEMA tells Fox they are deeply disturbed & horrified by this & now, FEMA, House Republicans, & Florida officials are all investigating” pic.twitter.com/2tGQAztO0y

In actuality it’s far more likely that FEMA and DHS are “extremely disturbed and horrified” that somebody found out about it. And of course the “somebody” is definitely not a legacy media operation that laughably refer to themselves as “journalists.”
It was originally reported that FEMA removed the supervisor from her role, but not the reporter who broke the story is now saying the supervisor in question has been fired:
BREAKING: FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell just confirmed that supervisor Marn’i Washington has been fired after I reported Friday that she directed relief workers in Florida to skip homes with Trump flags or signs. It has been referred to a special counsel for investigation.

That might be the first person in the Biden administration to ever have been remotely held accountable, but the story might go deeper than this, and the punishment certainly doesn’t seem like enough.
Not enough, she needs to be prosecuted.

Remember when Biden said that claims of any politicization in FEMA’s operations were “disinformation and lies”? More “disinformation” has been proven to be true.
And if this hadn’t been leaked, nothing negative would have happened to her. https://t.co/195dqU1g66

That’s a certainty.
