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.”

Anyone who had even the smallest involvement in this should be fired immediately!
Starting with Myorkis in Homeland Security the head of Fema and every Fema employee who followed this directive.

The Greek should be brought before Congress and grilled till he is dripping with political blood. He is responsible. It's his agency. Fire the Greek. Jail the Greek. Mayorkas should be in Leavenworth.

This is more proof of the culture of corruption that exists under Biden and his Deep State managers. It is NOT a surprise or an anomaly. It is part of the Leftist system and must be cut out root and branch by Trump ASAP.

Those of you wondering why she has not been fired have never worked for the Federal Government. A 10 years ago I needed a job and decided to take one at a VA hospital. On my first day I was sent to a room with come computers and told to go through some training programs and some orientation while waiting for the official orientation class which was later in the week. There was a guy at a computer in the same room who just seemed to be using the computer for personal things like playing video games all day. The 2nd day, I struck up a conversation with him and he told me that he was waiting for a transfer to another hospital because he had physically attacked his supervisor and they wanted to get him out of that hospital. He bragged that because he was a member of the Union, they couldn't fire him. He has been in that room for a month playing games and getting paid for it. Sure enough, when I had the official orientation class, a Union Rep spoke to us all about joining the Union while we were eating pizza provided by the Union. Their big pitch was that If we ever got into trouble on the job the Union would keep us from being fired. BTW, I was able to get a job back in the civilian world after three months and was never so happy to leave a workplace.

We all knew it and this is just the tip of the iceberg. Ya think we'll ever hear epanantions and apologies from Joe,Kam and Mayorkas after their self righteous indignation when we all knew FEMA was in the tank. They should all be in jail. People died and bodies are STILL missing.

This would be a good starting point for Elon. Disband this useless agency and then move on to the FBI and DHS. Most of the really bad parts of the government seem to be under Mayorkas. Time to go.

What #7 describes happens all the time. The AFGE (govt employees union) spends the majority of its time defending the lazy and inept. I will say they got the covid shot mandate killed, and for that I am grateful, but mostly they protect the dead weight. I had a co-worker who had been doing the job for 25 years and still didnt know the first thing about it. He was dangerous on the rare occasions when he got out of his chair and annoying when he didnt. Guaranteed that if anyone tried to correct him he would go stomping up to the union and they would be demanding apologies.
I did 23 years in civil service and never joined them. My honor forbade it.

Our tax money would be better spent by allocating the cash to state disaster managers. Just leave the feds out of it.

The Headline says they were horrified.
They were not horrified until after Trump won the election.
Then they got horrified. If Kamala had won they would have been laughing.

#7 and 14 confirmed what a guy in our church told me once. I think he was career FBI, but he won't or can't say. He jokingly brought up the attitude, when discussing it. "You can't fire me, it takes an act of Congress to fire me." He was one of the good workers, however.

FEMA is "horrified" that they got caught. The supervisor was not supposed to tell relief workers to skip MAGA homes in writing.

Considering the amount of destruction caused by flooding, if any Trump signs were still standing, perhaps they should look what these signs were made of and start building back using that same material.

Chances are that Comrade Mayorkis had that supervisor promoted after it came to light that she screwed over suspected Trump supporters? Would you put that past Mayorkis?

Not really a surprise...considering it was the biden/harris/obama government....they are vicious people...who will stop at nothing to stick it to MAGA...my next concern is...now they will try and stop President Trump from taking office...how?... I'm not sure...but something is in their play book...they don't lose fair and square...so something is on the horizon...will it be to stop confirmation by the congress because he is a convicted felon...or disrupt the proceedings....

This is Democrat identity politics. If you don’t support their woke progressive ideology, you are to be treated as the enemy. They are very vindictive losers. They deserve to go into the dustbin of history.

Before there was a FEMA, who were the Federal emergency responders (and still are when FEMA decides to call on them for help)?
The US military, primarily the Army.

One would think best practices would be from their standard operating procedures. I find it hard to believe a supervisor would have the power to just make these up.
I heard Trump may revoke JFKs Executive Order 10988 that permitted government unions as they are now.

Wow...sounds strangely similar to FEMA's overall delayed response to the last hurricane, in the Red states most affected...
Gee, it seems like a pattern is starting to emerge....

I love the weasel worded response from FEMA as to what her status is. "However, a FEMA spokesperson told The Post that Washington is “no longer working in the state of Florida or in any FEMA operations at this moment” pending the outcome of an investigation."
The only proper response to an offense like this is that the employee has been suspended without pay until a termination hearing can be held. Any other response is a taciturn approval of her actions.

Just think of how this would play out with healthcare - not too far fetched based on this government agency.
We've seen it with the Louis Lerner led IRS and bet it happens much more to Republicans than we are aware, SO FAR.

“We are horrified that this took place and therefore have taken extreme actions to correct this situation and have ensured that the matter was addressed at all levels,” the rep said." So what "extreme actions" were taken? A strongly worded letter? The employee was transferred to another gov't job? Firing is too easy - doing this to people who are almost helpless needs retribution. The person who did this was fearless because they knew screwing with Trump supporters was accepted by leadership. The punishment has to be severe enough to reverse that organizational acceptance, with no ambiguity. Firing Mayorkas is only symbolic, he's gone in 2 months anyway. How about a couple years filling sandbags, and fighting wildfires, with a ball and chain around his neck and a live webcam the whole country can view.
