Fired FEMA worker who told workers to avoid homes with Trump signs reveals this was wide-spread practice

Washington, who told The Daily Mail that she is seeking legal counsel, said she has "information that proves FEMA is lying."

"They alleged that these actions were made on my own recognizance," she said, "and that it was for my own political advances. However, if you look at the record, there is what we call a community trend. And unfortunately, it just so happened that the political hostility that was encountered by my team—and I was on two different teams during this deployment—they just so happened to have the Trump campaign signage.

"FEMA always preaches avoidance first and then deescalation," she continued, "so this is not isolated, this is a colossal event of avoidance, not just in the state of Florida, but you will find avoidance in the Carolinas.

"Senior leadership will lie to you and say that they do not know, but if you ask the DSA crew leads and specialists what they are experiencing in the field, they will tell you. Demand for FEMA to give you those incident reports." Washington also said, per The Daily Mail, that she was not the only one who was party to these directives.

FEMA director Deanne Criswell spoke out against Washington after The Daily Wire revealed the malfeasance, saying that Washington's actions were "a clear violation of FEMA's core values and principles to help people regardless of political affiliation."

Washington indicated that homes with Trump signs weren't avoided because of political bias, but because homes with Trump signs were the ones at which they had encountered the most resistance. "Not all Floridians have been unpleasant but for the most part the ones that are very passionate about their disdain for FEMA... they have no problem expressing it," Washington said.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has said that he would be launching an investigation as well. "The blatant weaponization of government by partisan activists in the federal bureaucracy is yet another reason why the Biden-Harris administration is in its final days," he said. "At my direction, the Division of Emergency Management is launching an investigation into the federal government’s targeted discrimination of Floridians who support Donald Trump.

"New leadership is on the way in DC, and I’m optimistic that these partisan bureaucrats will be fired," DeSantis continued.
