According to the ex-employee, this was NOT an "isolated incident," as the agency insists, and the discriminatory practice is happening elsewhere in other disaster areas. It's widespread FEMA policy to discriminate against "politically hostile" houses when allocating aid, she said. (This has Obama's finger prints all over it.)
Following her firing, Marn'i Washington spoke out in an interview Tuesday with "Roland Martin Unfiltered," a daily digital show airing on The Black Star Network, which provides the perspectives of "Black thought leaders, influencers, and opinion makers."
Washington, wanting to set the record straight, blasted FEMA's suggestion that she had made an independent, managerial decision telling staff to skip pro-Trump households. She said that this was a mischaracterization of what happened. Rather, it's standard protocol extending beyond Florida, Washington retorted, like the Carolinas.
"FEMA always preaches avoidance first and then de-escalation, so this is not isolated," Washington told the program's titular host. "This is a colossal event of avoidance not just in the state of Florida, but you will find avoidance in the Carolinas."
FEMA previously paused aid in parts of North Carolina in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. FEMA responders were reportedly relocated over concerns of an "armed militia" allegedly threatening personnel in the area.
"Senior leadership will lie to you and tell you that they do not know," Washington asserted. "But if you ask the [Disaster Survivor Assistance] crew leads and specialists what they are experiencing in the field, they will tell you."
Washington cited incident reports that would substantiate instances of "avoidance" due to "political hostility," pointing to a "community trend" of such so-called "hostility" among Floridians flying Trump flags or bearing Trump backyard signs in Lake Placid.
She said her higher-ups had approved her team's avoidance of certain streets in Lake Placid. As proof, she showed a text message she sent a supervisor saying that Lagrow Road was "politically hostile," so "We are not canvassing this street further." According to the text exchange, the supervisor responded, "Great decision. Thanks for the update."
If this young lady wants to serve up some higher ups I would be ok with waving any prison sentence she may and should be looking at.
This is just another day at the office for this crooked Democrat Party. They lie cheat and steal in every way imaginable.
Dementia Joe... confused and dishonest when he came in.....confused and dishonest on his way out.....
