Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee joined Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in calling for an investigation into claims that some Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) workers were instructed to avoid the homes of Trump supporters in the aftermath of hurricanes Helene and Milton in September and October.

“FEMA exists to serve all Americans, and these actions have eroded the people’s trust by failing to deliver desperately needed relief to all survivors,” Lee said in a post on social media platform X.
