A Federal Emergency Management Agency worker has been fired after she directed workers helping hurricane survivors not to go to homes with yard signs supporting President-elect Donald Trump, the agency’s leader said in a statement Saturday.
“This is a clear violation of FEMA’s core values and principles to help people regardless of their political affiliation,” FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell said. “This was reprehensible.”
The agency did not identify the employee, nor did it say where it happened.
But Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, calling it “targeted discrimination” of Florida residents who support Trump, said it happened in Florida.
Great display of double standards here again. It’s fascism when they do it but perfectly understandable when we do.
Being fine with this mean you’re no better than the people you oppose.
I don’t blame FEMA workers for not wanting to help people who are literally trying to kill them, frankly.
If a bunch of people wearing the same uniform routinely threaten your life, you’re going to start avoiding people in that uniform. It’s not a double standard, it’s preservation of life.
Treating every Trump voter as a bigot is no different that treating every democrat as a communist. Can’t really blame people for not voting for communists, can you?
If the Democrats were communists, instead of milquetoast centrist corporatists, you might have a point.
Were democrats the ones hunting down FEMA? You’re forgetting (or ignoring) the fact that Trump supporters, who identified themselves as such, were the ones who made active threats against the lives of FEMA members. Your democrat boogeyman doesn’t exist in this scenario.
What communists? I didn’t realize we had a communist on the ballot… Ever. Maybe Eugene Debs? So over 100 years ago.
Except Democrats are capitalist pigs.
There’s a difference tho. This one is self inflicted. They are so full of hate towards the non magas that at a certain point becomes only natural for a non maga to decide that maybe it’s not worth risking your life to save this kind of psycho (who is actively working to harm or even kill you).
Use the block function people. Don’t feed the troll.
