An official with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) who was fired for allegedly telling staff to skip hurricane-hit homes with signs backing President-elect Donald Trump clarified that her team had “registered Trump supporters” during disaster relief efforts.
Earlier in November, the head of FEMA confirmed that Marn’i Washington was terminated after reports and screenshots surfaced indicating that homes that had Trump signs had been flagged to be skipped or were skipped under her direction. Her messages were captured during the response to Hurricane Milton, which impacted Florida’s western coast in October.
