A Federal Emergency Management Agency supervisor who told her subordinates to skip Florida homes with Trump signs in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton has been fired.
Marn’i Washington, 38, told workers in a group chat to ‘avoid homes advertising Trump’ as they worked around the town of Lake Placid in late October and early November, according to The Daily Wire.
Her edict prompted workers to avoid at least 20 homes with signage indicating their support for the President-elect, leaving residents to fend for themselves without any federal aid, employees who spoke with the outlet reported.
Amid the outrage at the nation’s emergency department for the apparent discrimination, FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell announced Saturday that Washington has been fired from her position.
‘This is a clear violation of FEMA’s core values and principles to help people regardless of their political affiliation,’ she wrote of Washington’s actions, which she called ‘reprehensible.’
