Wasn’t this one of the things that the Credentialed Media was calling disinformation?
A Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) official has been removed from a role after directing disaster relief workers to skip homes “advertising” support for President-elect Trump after the devastating hurricanes in Florida.
In a statement to Fox News Digital, a FEMA spokesperson said the agency is “deeply disturbed” after the incident,” noting the official who gave the instruction “was given no direction to tell teams to avoid these homes.”
“While we believe this is an isolated incident, we have taken measures to remove the employee from their role and are investigating the matter to prevent this from happening ever again,” the spokesperson said.
“The employee who issued this guidance had no authority and was given no direction to tell teams to avoid these homes, and we are reaching out to the people who may have not been reached as a result of this incident.”
Why was this employee “reassigned” and not terminated? If you pulled something like this in the private sector you’d be promoted to customer. And probably lose their pension and any other perks. Quickly. How high up was this official? They may not have been directed, but, it’s wild that an official of FEMA felt entitled to pull this.
The Daily Wire first obtained internal messages about the incident.
In messages obtained by the outlet, a FEMA official instructs workers to “avoid homes advertising Trump.”
The outlet noted the aid workers would enter into a system tracking applications that they made no contact with the residents, blaming the directive — “Trump sign, no contact per leadership.”
So, there are actual messages, and the person is still employed. And never thought that anyone would find out. Or didn’t care if anyone found out.
In a statement on X, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced his administration is launching an investigation into FEMA.
“The blatant weaponization of government by partisan activists in the federal bureaucracy is yet another reason why the Biden-Harris administration is in its final days,” DeSantis said. “At my direction, the Division of Emergency Management is launching an investigation into the federal government’s targeted discrimination of Floridians who support Donald Trump.
If a FEMA official was willing to do this, what were other FEMA employees willing to do?
