A Federal Emergency Management Agency worker has been fired after she directed workers helping hurricane survivors not to go to homes with yard signs supporting President-elect Donald Trump, the agency’s leader said in a statement Saturday.

“This is a clear violation of FEMA’s core values and principles to help people regardless of their political affiliation,” FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell said. “This was reprehensible.”

The agency did not identify the employee, nor did it say where it happened.

But Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, calling it “targeted discrimination” of Florida residents who support Trump, said it happened in Florida.

    Were democrats the ones hunting down FEMA? You’re forgetting (or ignoring) the fact that Trump supporters, who identified themselves as such, were the ones who made active threats against the lives of FEMA members. Your democrat boogeyman doesn’t exist in this scenario.
