“A Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) supervisor has been fired for telling staff helping hurricane survivors to skip houses displaying signs supporting Donald Trump. The agency’s head, Deanne Criswell, described the supervisor’s actions as ‘reprehensible,’ saying FEMA takes its mission ‘to help everyone before, during and after disasters seriously.’ Although Criswell’s statement on X does not indicate when or where the incident took place, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said the Division of Emergency Management would be launching an investigation at his direction. DeSantis called the situation ‘targeted discrimination’ of Trump supporters in Florida.” (11/10/24)
