FEMA supervisor who allegedly advised workers to avoid homes with Trump signs fired: report

Earlier this week, a FEMA whistleblower filed a complaint that an agency official in Florida told disaster responders to stop homes that had pro-Donald Trump signs after Hurricane Milton.

Employees were allegedly told in late October that they should skip the homes of Trump supporters when canvassing in Lake Placid, Florida. The guidance was allegedly communicated both verbally and in group chat messages, according to The Daily Wirealthough the messages have since been deleted.

At least 20 homes were ignored based on the guidelines and therefore were not given the opportunity to qualify for FEMA assistance.
