Remember the wonderful lady who was caught telling FEMA employees and helpers to skip homes that had Trump merchandise in Florida after the hurricane? Well
Do @WRAL, @WNCN, @ABC11_WTVD, @newsobserver, and @NC_Governor, who all yammered about this being misinformation, have comments? @SenateGOP and @HouseGOP need to drag her into hearings https://t.co/Jj0KSDGItO

Let’s delve into this a bit more (Victory Girls Blog made it easy to find text)
(NY Post) Marn’i Washington, who was fired last week over the saga, broke her silence in an interview with YouTube podcaster Roland Martin Monday, arguing she had just been following a widespread FEMA policy of avoiding “politically hostile” homes.
“FEMA preaches avoidance first, and then de-escalation. This is not isolated. This is a colossal event of avoidance,” said Washington, 39.
“Not just in the state of Florida. You will find avoidance in the Carolinas.”
Washington accused FEMA of lying after the federal agency said she had no authority to give the directive to disaster relief workers who were canvassing homes in Lake Placid, Fla., in the wake of last month’s Hurricane Milton.
The FEMA official said her supervisor had approved the message — and that there were incident reports that would prove some residents had shown “political hostility” to workers in the area.
“Senior leadership will lie to you and tell you that they do not know, but if you ask the [Disaster Survivor Assistance] crew leads and specialists what they’re experiencing in the field, they will tell you,” she said.
The House oversight committee will be working over FEMA administrator Deanne Criswell next Tuesday. They should invite Washington to testify ASAP, and, if she won’t, subpoena her.
Here’s the local Raleigh media
- WRAL: With misinformation swirling in Hurricane Helene’s wake, officials urge residents to ‘stop this conspiracy theory junk’
- ABC11: After the deluge, the lies: Misinformation and hoaxes about Helene cloud the recovery
- CBS17: Trump makes more debunked claims about FEMA as he surveys storm damage in North Carolina
- News And Observer: Helene fact check: Here are the rumors and the reality in Western North Carolina
All have many, many articles about “misinformation”, while failing to actually send reporters to investigate. They just took the government’s word. And how many have articles on Washington’s allegations? Zero. Nor anything from NC Governor Rory Cooper. Obviously, Washington was involved with what happened in Florida, not western North Carolina. But, she’s made allegations it happened in NC. Our senators Thom Tillis and Ted Budd have both mentioned that this needs to be investigated.
Every time you think you’ve found the bottom of the Democrats’ behavior, they say, “Hold my beer.”
They’re like a black hole: is there actually a bottom?
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned… especially a black DEI hire.
Just blame others.
Of course, with all the lies told about FEMA by Trump and his violent MAGAt hoard, it’s reasonable for FEMA workers to be concerned about being attacked.
