A Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) supervisor told disaster relief workers in Florida to “avoid homes” with signs supporting President-elect Donald Trump, the agency confirmed Friday.
The FEMA official — Marn’i Washington — conveyed her edict both verbally and in a Microsoft Teams chat used by relief workers canvassing Lake Placid homes ravaged by Hurricane Milton last month, according to the Daily Wire.
“Avoid homes advertising Trump,” Washington wrote in a “best practices” memo to employees.
The order was the second bullet point in a list instructing workers to not go “anywhere alone,” practice “de-escalation,” stay hydrated and to “follow the rules.”
Conveniently leaving that context out of the discussion.
By itself, horrible. In the context of the employees being threatened by that specific group of individuals… Not really horrible, it’s a clear safety issue.
