FEMA supervisor who told team to ‘avoid’ homes with Trump signs says she’s a ‘patsy’
Washington Examiner ^ | Nov 10, 2024 | Peter Cordi

EXCLUSIVE — A report from earlier this week showed that a FEMA supervisor advised her team to “avoid” Florida homes “advertising Trump.” That supervisor, Marn’i Washington, says she is a “patsy” and that FEMA made her a “scapegoat.”

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.”

The language in the leaked screenshot was “shorthand,” according to Washington. 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.

This is beyond BS, fearing Trump supporters and death threats?

Now I would believe she was just doing what her superiors talked about.

No one believes you.

You've been fired. You should be sitting in jail.

She sounds more like the Mother of all “Karens” than a “Patsy”.

“says she’s a ‘patsy’”

Well, she’s certainly something...that’s for sure.

Ah, look who is using...I vas just following ze orders. Were was her pushback? No she felt just fine increasing the suffering of Conservatives, that's on her, she doesn't get a pass...just like the officials being tried in Nuremberg didn't. NO, I'm not equating her actions to the Nazis and the Holocaust, just her pitiful excuse for doing what she did.

Kind of a vicious, self-perpetuating cycle:

1. FEMA avoid Trump supporters (DEI/CRT, as KaMAHla advised)
2. Trump supporters angry where FEMA just passes them by
3. FEMA note anger from Trump supporters
4. FEMA justify their avoidance because of the anger at being passed up
5. Back to #1

If FEMA had been doing its job there wouldn’t have been any ‘political hostility.’ Everyone above her should be fired, too.

A few thoughts

1) victim card, but not race card? wonder why

2) there is evidence

3) there are witnesses

Where have we seen proof positive of communities not accepting folks to help in their neighborhoods... Certain communities in Texas not welcoming linesmen repairing storm damage... and it wasn’t conservative neighborhoods.

She no doubt did this with a culture within FEMA to do so.

Only person I’ve known with that name was an immense Samoan girl who was mentally retarded. That was back in my school days.
