A Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) supervisor told disaster relief workers in Florida to “avoid homes” with signs supporting President-elect Donald Trump, the agency confirmed Friday.
The FEMA official — Marn’i Washington — conveyed her edict both verbally and in a Microsoft Teams chat used by relief workers canvassing Lake Placid homes ravaged by Hurricane Milton last month, according to the Daily Wire.
“Avoid homes advertising Trump,” Washington wrote in a “best practices” memo to employees.
The order was the second bullet point in a list instructing workers to not go “anywhere alone,” practice “de-escalation,” stay hydrated and to “follow the rules.”
I’ve heard vocal criticisms of it on social media but I do not think there have been any attacks on FEMA workers. Maybe some frustrated guy who lost everything haranguing a few workers for showing up late and with little to no supplies, but I haven’t heard of anyone being put at risk.
Cops have to deal with people telling them to fuck off all the time while doing their jobs.
