In a shocking revelation that underscores the deep-rooted politicization within the Biden administration, a FEMA supervisor has been terminated for instructing relief workers to bypass homes displaying support for Donald Trump during hurricane aid efforts in Florida. This isn’t just an isolated incident; it reflects a troubling trend where political affiliations dictate disaster response.
FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell confirmed on Saturday that Marn’i Washington was fired after whistleblowers revealed her explicit orders to “avoid homes advertising Trump” while canvassing Lake Placid, Florida. These instructions were not only given verbally but also documented in writing—raising serious questions about internal oversight at FEMA.
“More than 22,000 FEMA employees every day adhere to FEMA’s core values and are dedicated to helping people before, during and after disasters, often sacrificing time with their own families to help disaster survivors,” Criswell said in a statement. “Recently, one FEMA employee departed from these values to advise her survivor assistance team to not go to homes with yard signs supporting President-elect Trump.”
How can we trust an agency tasked with aiding all Americans when it allows political bias like this? It’s nothing short of disgraceful—this blatant disregard for neutrality is alarming.
“This is a clear violation of FEMA’s core values and principles to help people regardless of their political affiliation. This was reprehensible,” Criswell continued.
Criswell’s condemnation may sound strong on paper but does it reflect genuine accountability or merely damage control following public outrage? It begs the question: how many other employees share Washington’s views?
“I want to be clear to all of my employees and the American people, this type of behavior and action will not be tolerated at FEMA and we will hold people accountable if they violate these standards of conduct,” Criswell added.
Yet here lies another inconsistency: why did it take so long for decisive action against Washington? Reports indicate as many as 20 homes were neglected due solely because they displayed pro-Trump sentiments between late October and November—a staggering number considering these individuals desperately needed aid amid natural disasters.
Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna called the Daily Wire report “sickening,” voicing legitimate concerns about potential discrimination against her constituents impacted by Hurricane Helene and Milton.
I just took swift action for the American people, and I’m demanding answers from @FEMA_Deanne on why Americans were discriminated against by their government based on who they support in an election. The findings are revolting, and we need accountability.

“My district was one of the most heavily impacted by Hurricanes Helene and Milton, and it has been sickening to hear that more than half of my constituents were discriminated against for their political beliefs,” she said.
Luna points out what should alarm us all—the audacity with which government officials operate under perceived impunity when targeting everyday citizens based on their politics.
“Big government bureaucrats despise everyday Americans because they are not politically expedient for them.”
Her assertion rings true; bureaucratic elitism breeds contempt towards those who dare oppose progressive narratives even in times when solidarity should prevail over partisanship.
“I demand answers from FEMA Administrator Criswell,” Luna declared passionately. “Congress must fully investigate this matter. The days of putting Americans and America last are over.”
Criswell must address hard-hitting inquiries surrounding how such disgraceful conduct persisted unchecked within her agency until now—not simply fire someone amidst mounting pressure without addressing systemic issues contributing toward this failure!
“It is completely unacceptable that a FEMA official was allowed to exploit Hurricane Milton…”
Disasters should unify us rather than expose our divisions—yet here we stand today witnessing politics hijack humanitarian efforts at precisely our nation’s weakest moments!
The House Oversight Committee will be holding a heading about this later in November.
🚨BREAKING🚨
I’m calling on FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell to appear & testify before the House Oversight Committee at a hearing on November 19.

Trump’s administration must commit to a serious overhaul of FEMA.

What Would You Do If Pharmacies Couldn’t Provide You With Crucial Medications or Antibiotics?
The medication supply chain from China and India is more fragile than ever since Covid. The US is not equipped to handle our pharmaceutical needs. We’ve already seen shortages with antibiotics and other medications in recent months and pharmaceutical challenges are becoming more frequent today.
Our partners at Jase Medical offer a simple solution for Americans to be prepared in case things go south. Their “Jase Case” gives Americans emergency antibiotics they can store away while their “Jase Daily” offers a wide array of prescription drugs to treat the ailments most common to Americans.
They do this through a process that embraces medical freedom. Their secure online form allows board-certified physicians to prescribe the needed drugs. They are then delivered directly to the customer from their pharmacy network. The physicians are available to answer treatment related questions.
First paragraph from the article: “In a shocking revelation that underscores the deep-rooted POLITICIZATION within the Biden administration, a FEMA supervisor has been terminated for instructing relief workers to bypass homes displaying support for Donald Trump during hurricane aid efforts in Florida.”
Note: this is not POLITICIZATION; rather, this is anti-American UN-Constitutional WEAPONIZATION!
She also needs to be prosecuted for political discrimination and hate crimes, think their felonies!
Scottie
There is NO SUCH THING as a “hate crime” or “hate speech”.
I can’t stress enough how much she looks like my mother-in-law, same teeth gritting glare and mayhem in the eyes my kids learned to avoid. Uncanny.
FTR, that’s not her at all. Not even the correct race. The woman who did this is named Marn’i Washington.
This person should be jailed for at least 5 years if not longer. Possibly her family also to teach them a lesson.
Cool!!
ANOTHER Republican investigation to nowhere.
I’m on pins and needles as I wait for this latest exercise in uselessness.
Look at “her”. She’s a lezzie.
That’s not actually the woman who pulled this wicked stunt; I don’t know who’s photo that is. The woman who wrongly instructed people to bypass Trump supporters’ homes is named Marn’i Washington, a black woman.
and here is the problem. She needs to be prosecuted, not fired.
FEMA is a tip of the iceberg. The whole federal bureaucracy system is not a swamp, it’s a sewer damaged beyond repair and stinking to high heaven. iThe whole place needs uprooted.
Looks like a butch soccer pro to me.
Marn’i Washington needs to be charged and imprisoned for this.
let’s please NOT FORGET Lahaina, Maui . . . were haoles avoided as well in this deep blue state . . . ???
Most government agencies are not needed.
Eliminate them and let the states do what they are supposed to.
Get to work.
But how about those that were “just following orders”?
Guess what folks.,….the woman pictured at the top of the article is not the perp….Marn’i Washington . I suspect it is Deanne Criswell the FEMA administrator. Now….why is the photo of some random white woman used instead of the actual perp????? Your guess is as good as mine.
““More than 22,000 FEMA employees every day adhere to FEMA’s core values and are dedicated to helping people before, during and after disasters, ”
That’s hysterical. Still lying to the American public I see. All they are is Government workers looking for Government pensions and the best health care in America. The same thing with the police. Who’s kidding who?
