WASHINGTON (AP) — The new head of the federal agency tasked with responding to disasters across the country warned staff in a meeting Friday not to try to impede upcoming changes, saying that “I will run right over you” while also suggesting policy changes that would push more responsibilities to the states.
David Richardson, a former Marine Corps officer who served in Afghanistan, Iraq and Africa, was named acting administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency on Thursday just after Cameron Hamilton, who’d been leading the agency, also in an acting role, was fired.
“Don’t get in my way if you’re those 20% of the people,” he said. “I know all the tricks.”
“Obfuscation. Delay. Undermining. If you’re one of those 20% of the people and you think those tactics and techniques are going to help you, they will not because I will run right over you,” he said. “I will achieve the president’s intent. I am as bent on achieving the president’s intent as I was on making sure that I did my duty when I took my Marines to Iraq.”
Richardson also reminded staff that FEMA is part of the Department of Homeland Security: “Don’t forget that.”

Sounds like a good choice to run the agency.
Yeah!
Homanesque. I love it.
It is about time that someone kicks the asses of recalcitrant loser Fed insurrectionist employees who have crappy attitudes (which is the majority apparently). Hopefully, he will do this publicly when needed. If employees are losers they deserve to be humiliated...and fired.
You want something done, you send in the Marines.
It’s…. AMERICAN!
I’ve noticed a common trait among people who have been shot at. Butler PA was the deep state’s biggest mistake.
