FEMA official directed hurricane relief workers to avoid homes with Trump signs as agency conducts cleanup
A FEMA official was removed from a role after directing disaster relief workers in Florida to avoid homes with Trump signs after hurricanes Helene and Milton.
The liberal scum should have been immediately fired. Instead he or she was just removed from the role.
Makes one wonder why FEMA has not offered campers to the folks that lost their home. As they did after Katrina.
Per a lot of YouTube documentaries I have watched a lot of people are still living in tents.

True story.
I was in Iraq for 15 months as part of the surge (07-08). In Jan 08 we pushed into the Diyala River Valley as part of operation Iron/Raider Harvest.
Our mission was to clear insurgents from Sunni areas near the Iranian border. Saddam gifted land to retired senior officers in this area to provide a Sunni buffer against Shia influence from Iran.
As we started to engage with the population we discovered the newly elected Shia government in Iraq had stopped delivering kerosene and other government-provided goods (yay Socialism!) to this area because these were Sunni/Baathists (Saddam’s political party for you youngsters) and the government felt its role towards these people was to punish them not support them. Part of clearing insurgents is engaging with the local non-insurgent population to convince them we were there to help not harm.
We were well received in this area because we brought the first kerosene delivery in over 18 months (it actually snowed one of the days we were there).
I’ve been thinking about this vignette a lot because elite leftists talk about Americans who reject their worldview as untermensch (the “garbage” comment/the “deplorable” comment) and increasingly view government power as a means to the end of punishing those with whom they disagree.
This FEMA example is one more data point. Like @SGTiger pointed out the employee was reassigned and not fired. This tells us a great deal about how the larger government views this on the scale of wrong.

Would not want to be that person come January 20th. He better be looking for a good lawyer or be heading to Canada.FEMA official directed hurricane relief workers to avoid homes with Trump signs as agency conducts cleanup

Not a rumor. Several news outlets now reporting it. I can't wait for pur resident Libs to defend this. You know they will
This may explode as the fired employee is claiming this was a systemic issue and not an isolated incident. Is it sour grapes or is it true? That is the question. If it is true, then FEMA may be done as it currently exists.
Not a single person I know would've defended this, and all would say the employee should be fired (as well as anyone above them who gave any sort of directive stating such).
Hard to believe that it's truly systemic, if only because that would be incredibly dumb professionally.
That said, if it is, anyone who participated in that sort of discrimination should be fired.
The one reason I may believe her is that she felt comfortable putting it in writing to all employees. You would have to be incredibly stupid to do that if you thought it was not a widely supported action within the organization.
On the other hand, she could just be incredibly stupid, lol.
