Story
FEMA Fires Marn'i Washington for Skipping Trump Supporters' Homes; Policy Extended to Carolinas
Nov 12, 2024, 04:14 PM
After Hurricane Milton struck Florida, a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) employee, Marn'i Washington, was fired for directing disaster relief workers to avoid providing assistance to homes displaying signs supporting President-elect Donald Trump. Washington instructed her team to skip homes with Trump campaign signs, a directive communicated both verbally and through leaked internal messages, causing public outrage. FEMA Administrator released a statement on Saturday confirming her termination, stating that her actions violated the agency's principles. The House Oversight Committee has called on the FEMA director to testify regarding the incident. Washington claims the practice was not isolated, alleging that the avoidance policy was also implemented in the Carolinas due to verbal abuse from Trump supporters. She asserts she was made a 'patsy' by the agency. Calls for investigations have been made, with officials demanding accountability and transparency from FEMA.
