Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ordered an investigation into reports that Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) workers neglected storm-affected supporters of former President Donald Trump while assessing damage from Hurricane Milton.
According to screenshots of internal messages published by The Daily Wire, a FEMA official instructed relief workers who were identifying residents eligible for federal aid in Lake Placid, both orally and via internal messages, that it was best practice to “avoid homes advertising Trump.” One image shows that a relief worker uploaded a photo of a property with a Trump flag with a note stating, “Trump sign no entry per leadership.” Other notes stated: “Per leadership no stop Trump flag;’ ”Trump sign,“ and ”Trump sign, no contact per leadership.”
Relief workers reportedly skipped at least 20 homes since late October in a district that voted 70 percent for Trump. The Epoch Times has not independently verified these claims. A spokesperson for the agency told The Daily Wire that the supervisor who sent the messages, Marn’i Washington, is not actively working for the agency pending an investigation. The agency said it was horrified and deeply disturbed by Washington’s actions.
