This is not surprising that the Deep State gave orders to the field commanders not to prioritize those displaying Trump signs. Many of those victims lost family members; they were in a state of shock, waiting for the Federal Government to rescue them, but that help never came. Others with Harris signs received top priority, although their loss was minimal campared to the thousands of Trump voters that suffered from the peril.

Marn’i Washington told Fox News that avoiding homes with Trump signs is a part of a wider company policy to protect safety of FEMA workersThe Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) supervisor who was fired by FEMA claims that FEMA is scapegoating her. Marn’i Washington was fired for instructing the agency’s relief workers to avoid reaching out to homeowners in Florida who had Trump signs displayed outside their homes.
Washington told “Fox News @ Night” on Wednesday that the agency is throwing her under the bus for avoiding Trump supporters, which she alleges is a policy that came from her higher-ups.
“Why is this coming down on me? I am the person that jotted down the notes from my superiors and my notation in [Microsoft] Teams chat was exposed from their search capacity team,” Washington said.Washington was fired by FEMA after outrage erupted that she had instructed disaster relief workers canvassing in Lake Placid, Florida, after Hurricane Milton to “avoid homes advertising Trump.”
The Daily Wire first reported the story based on internal messages it obtained from Washington sent to her subordinates. The outlet stated that government employees told the outlet that at least 20 homes with Trump signs or flags were bypassed from the end of October and into November due to the “best practices” guidance from the official.
FEMA’s administrator on employee misconduct, Deanne Criswell, confirmed to Fox News Digital over the weekend that the supervisor was fired and that her actions were “reprehensible.”
Another FEMA spokesperson told Fox that Washington’s actions were an “isolated incident.”
However, Washington insisted that’s not true. In response to Fox News host Trace Gallagher asking, “So you’re telling me these orders came from somebody above?,” she said, “Correct.”
The former FEMA employee alleged that the Florida team had already been avoiding Trump voters’ homes prior to her work there. “This was the culture. They were already avoiding these homes based on community trends from hostile political encounters. It has nothing to do with the campaign sign. It just so happened to be part of the community trend,” Washington explained.
