FULL STATEMENT:
"FEMA helps all survivors regardless of their political preference or affiliation and we are deeply disturbed by this employee’s actions. While we believe this is an isolated incident, we have taken measures to remove the employee from their role and are investigating the matter to prevent this from happening ever again. The employee who issued this guidance had no authority and was given no direction to tell teams to avoid these homes and we are reaching out to the people who may have not been reached as a result of this incident. This is a matter that we take extremely seriously and we are doing everything we can to make sure all survivors receive support from FEMA. To date, we have helped over 365,000 households impacted by both Hurricanes Helene and Milton in the state of Florida and have provided over $898 million in direct assistance to survivors. We are horrified that this took place and therefore have taken extreme actions to correct this situation and have ensured that the matter was addressed at all levels. Helping people is what we do best and our workforce across the agency will continue to serve survivors for as long as it takes."
I have a hard time believing it. Should be investigated.
Furthermore, the homes that were missed, they have a record, should be compensated additional money for what happened here.
BTTT
They should face arrest. Apologies are insufficient.
Their job should be terminated.
And they are only issuing this because Trump won or they wouldn’t be. They would be sadistically rubbing salt in the wound right now.
They are hiding the name of the supervisor who ordered houses with Trump signs be skipped. This is a crime, denying civil rights under color of law. They are hiding her name and doing nothing.
Worthless apology.
Amazing what happens with a change of government.
Amazing what happens with a change of government.
Terminated is a natural consequence of being arrested and prosecuted. This was a criminal offense.

The entire agency is useless and should be swept away.
“It didn’t happen.”
“It was an isolated incident.”
“Okay - it happens all the time. Are you a Nazi too!!??”
Anyone have a picture of Marn’i???
The name of this person supposedly is Marn’i Washington. Don’t even know if it’s a he or a she!
I have a friend that works with FEMA. She’s a die hard Trump fan but she keeps it hidden because most everyone is democrat. She said last night, they got a text from the higher ups that this happened and the employee will be investigated, and if true, will lose their job. And then the usual blather about how stuff like this can’t be tolerated.
She says her team is pretty level headed and she hasn’t had a problem with any of them but as of last night, they have a new tool to report coworkers that aren’t professional. She said if Trump wasn’t elected president, it probably would have been swept under the rug. They’re scared.
The name was revealed in an earlier thread when the story first came out.
It’s the government culture. 95% are Demicrats.
An apology is a start but where is the money they were denied because they had Trump signs?
The whistleblowers referred to just one.
From the earliest thread on the topic:
“The supervisor, Marn’i Washington, relayed this message both verbally and in a group chat used by the relief team, multiple government employees told The Daily Wire.”
Terminated isn’t enough. This is criminal. If a cop, sheriff or fireman refused professional government service to someone for this reason, the FBI would arrest them for violation of civil rights under the color of law.
This criminal is no less guilty.
