Shocking new FEMA confession stuns Trump supporters

Under the Biden-Harris administration, everything has become politicized… including whether you receive federal relief after a natural disaster.

Not one but two whistleblowers have confirmed that federal emergency officials denied aid to Trump supporters hitd by hurricanes just because of the recipients’ political views.

But we now know exactly how many MAGA voters did not receive the aid to which they were duly entitled — and the number will enrage you.

 

The number isn’t from a whistleblower; it’s straight from the horse’s mouth.

In a little-noticed moment in congressional testimony over Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)’s handling of disaster relief, we got the number from Biden’s FEMA administrator herself.

To understand her testimony, remember that a FEMA worker took a screenshot of instructions telling workers not to stop at any home that had a Trump sign in the yard. That order was traced back to Marn’i Washington, who was fired.

FEMA insisted she was the lone exception in an organization that’s dedicated to serving all Americans. But that’s not the story FEMA workers told.

“Firstly, I’m being framed,” Marn’i Washington told NewsNation host Dan Abrams last Monday night. “I was simply following orders…That came from my direct superior.”

The orders to skip Trump houses came from the higher-ups, she said. Washington revealed that Biden her superiors justified withholding federal aid from Trump voters on the grounds that those people might be hostile and attack FEMA workers.
 

Many of the people who engaged in those “hostile encounters…did have those campaign signs,” Washington said.

Washington’s order applied to Florida survivors of Hurricane Milton—but she said the same thing happened in North Carolina during Hurricane Helene.

Then another whistleblower came forward to add a third state.

That insider told Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability that a FEMA worker intimidated “an elderly disabled veteran’s family around October 10.”

“While there, he recommended that the family remove Trump campaign materials and signs from their house and yard, stating that his FEMA supervisors view Trump supporters as domestic terrorists,” Comer revealed.

“The elderly homeowners were so frightened by this and afraid that they would not recover their loss that they removed the signs. Nevertheless, FEMA has not returned to their residence. This took place not in Florida, but Georgia.”

When House Republicans had a chance to question Biden’s FEMA administrator, Deanne Bennett Criswell, under oath last week, they demanded a total number.

They didn’t get it—but what they got was shocking enough.

“How many people have been impacted by avoidance and deescalation?” asked Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) “Do you have a number for that, just, nationally? Or is there a database for that?”

“I can tell you for this particular incident, at the direction of our employee, 20 homes were skipped,” Criswell replied.

That means 20 hurricane-devastated homes—possibly all elderly veterans, like the family in Georgia—were denied the aid they paid for with their taxes…in one state, in one day.

If that trend held over the course of just this summer’s hurricane season, employees of the Biden-Harris administration passed over potentially hundreds of Republicans homes.
 

That assumes this practice just began this year—or even this administration.

At the hearing, Criswell said, I would welcome an investigation” by the inspector general’s office—but she didn’t have much of an answer when Rep. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania asked she had yet to request one.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has already ordered state officials to launch an investigation into federal aid workers’ overt discrimination against

Republican senators want answers, too—especially those in North Carolina.

“Reports of FEMA’s potentially widespread politicization of disaster relief are incredibly disturbing.  The American people deserve answers.  That’s precisely what (fellow North Carolina Republican Senator Ted Budd) and I intend to get,” said Senator Thom Tillis, R-N.C.

Tillis and 18 other Republican senators sent Criswell a letter last week calling the behavior “shocking and reprehensible” and demanding she tell them what she did after Washington’s allegations came to light, and what FEMA has done to help the homes they avoided.

Incredibly, Criswell tried to cover her tracks by telling Congress its policy of skipping Republican houses is not preserved in writing.

“There is nowhere in any FEMA policy, any training material, or information that we direct any of our staff to avoid him because of a political sign in the yard,” Criswell testified.

Republicans caught the deception at once.

“I doubt very seriously if they’re going to put in their policies or in their instructions to people to do this in writing, so I’m fairly certain that’s probably not in writing,” Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) told Fox Business last Tuesday. “Except, the woman in question, Miss Washington, had something in writing which she took a screenshot of and sent out to people, so there were some things in writing.”

“They are not in FEMA policy, as she was saying. But I have no doubt that this was happening,” said Rep. Foxx. “I don’t think that Miss Washington did this all on her own.”

Criswell’s testimony raises more questions than it answers.

How long has this been going on?

 

How many Republicans have been denied taxpayer-funded disaster relief, even as FEMA doles out funds to illegal aliens?

And who’s getting fired, or going to jail, to make atonement?
