A scandal of potentially titanic proportions is brewing at the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Last week, FEMA administrator Deanne Criswell fired Marn’i Washington, the official accused of discriminating against Donald Trump-supporting hurricane victims in Florida, casting her as a lone wolf, a bad apple in an orchard full of good ones.
Not so fast.
On Tuesday, Washington — and another ex-FEMA employee who spoke with The Post — disputed the relatively rosy picture painted by Criswell.
According to the recently disgraced Washington, “FEMA preaches avoidance” from potentially contentious situations.
And, supposedly, Trump supporters are disproportionately responsible for fomenting such situations.
Washington said her team had encountered “political hostility” from those in homes with “Trump campaign signage,” but nevertheless insisted that agency guidance is — and her own determination was — about safety, not political targeting.
Another former FEMA employee also told The Post that the processes that led to Washington’s discriminatory action are systemic — and that the bias against Trump supporters dated back years, sometimes justified as part of an effort to serve “marginalized” communities first.
You can cite any empirical or philosophical reason that you want to justify this allegedly pervasive practice, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s not just negligent or wrong — it’s evil.

Here’s how to fix FEMA and any government agency: Fire everyone and allow them to reapply, but thoroughly vet for honesty, non-bias, and competency.
Your gas-powered chain saw is now illegal in California.
The whole biden/harris maladministration is a crime. A combination of criminality, wokeness, DEI, ignorance, mental-illness, incivility, incompetence and the intense self-loathing of liberalism is a recipe for disaster.
Everything is legal until you get caught............
“Does the person in question not have complexion protection?”
Complexion protection. My bad.

Leftists burn down cities in rioting, which is far worse than the crankiest J6 protestor. So if the elites were honest about “practicing avoidance” they’d have been instructing FEMA to avoid Harris signs and evidence of leftist affiliation far more strenuously than Trump signage. Obviously, they are lying about their intentions.
B-but Trump said they weren’t helping in NC, so it must be false./s
Does anyone want to bet whether this will become a scandal or actually have a real investigation?

I didn’t even think about that. You are correct. MASSIVE lawsuits, whether they died or not. Class action.
And here comes Vivek and Elon.
