From the Daily Wire: A federal disaster relief official ordered workers to bypass the homes of Donald Trump’s supporters as they surveyed damage caused by Hurricane Milton in Florida, according to internal correspondence obtained by The Daily Wire and confirmed by multiple federal employees.

A FEMA supervisor told workers in a message to “avoid homes advertising Trump” as they canvassed Lake Placid, Florida to identify residents who could qualify for federal aid, internal messages viewed by The Daily Wire reveal. The supervisor, Marn’i Washington, relayed this message both verbally and in a group chat used by the relief team, multiple government employees told The Daily Wire.

The government employees told The Daily Wire that at least 20 homes with Trump signs or flags were skipped from the end of October and into November due to the guidance, meaning they were not given the opportunity to qualify for FEMA assistance. Images shared with The Daily Wire show that houses were skipped over by the workers, who wrote in the government system messages such as: “Trump sign no entry per leadership.”

In a series of social media posts, the Daily Wire shared the following stunning details:

EXCLUSIVE: Internal messages obtained by The Daily Wire show a FEMA official ordered relief workers in Florida not to help houses with Trump signs.

Whistleblowers say that relief workers were told it was “best practice” to pass over houses “advertising Trump.”

The workers would enter into the system that they made no contact with the residents, blaming the directive: “Trump sign, no contact per leadership”

One worker says it wasn’t what he signed up for.

“I thought we could go help and make a difference. When we got there we were told to discriminate against people. It’s almost unbelievable to think that somebody in the federal government would think that’s okay.”

A FEMA official told reporter @leif_lemahieu: “We are aware of it and we are taking action at this moment regarding the situation that you’re talking about.”

UPDATE: FEMA confirms this incident, saying it is “deeply disturbed by this employee’s actions,” “horrified that this took place,” and that it has taken “extreme actions to correct this situation.”

FULL STATEMENT FROM FEMA: “FEMA helps all survivors regardless of their political preference or affiliation and we are deeply disturbed by this employee’s actions. While we believe this is an isolated incident, we have taken measures to remove the employee from their role and are investigating the matter to prevent this from happening ever again. The employee who issued this guidance had no authority and was given no direction to tell teams to avoid these homes and we are reaching out to the people who may have not been reached as a result of this incident. This is a matter that we take extremely seriously and we are doing everything we can to make sure all survivors receive support from FEMA. To date, we have helped over 365,000 households impacted by both Hurricanes Helene and Milton in the state of Florida and have provided over $898 million in direct assistance to survivors. We are horrified that this took place and therefore have taken extreme actions to correct this situation and have ensured that the matter was addressed at all levels. Helping people is what we do best and our workforce across the agency will continue to serve survivors for as long as it takes.”

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis reacted to the bombshell report with the following statement:

“The blatant weaponization of government by partisan activists in the federal bureaucracy is yet another reason why the Biden-Harris administration is in its final days. At my direction, the Division of Emergency Management is launching an investigation into the federal government’s targeted discrimination of Floridians who support Donald Trump.

“New leadership is on the way in DC, and I’m optimistic that these partisan bureaucrats will be fired.”

Lawmakers and conservatives have erupted in outrage over the shocking scandal.

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) wrote, “BREAKING: Whistleblower reveals FEMA officials in Florida were instructed to bypass hurricane-damaged homes that showed support for President Trump! This is unconscionable discrimination, and Congress MUST INVESTIGATE!”

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) wrote, “FEMA discriminated against American’s for their political beliefs. Whoever ordered this better start looking for a job. You are going to be FIRED.”

Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) also reacted to the news.  He wrote, “Our own government has been weaponized. Against roughly half of all Americans. It’s not enough just to reform a few things. We need to gut the deep state & start over.”

The House Homeland GOP Committee, led by Rep. Mark Green (R-Tenn.), wrote, “If these reports are true, they represent a gross failure to fulfill FEMA’s mission, and more importantly, to care for fellow Americans. We will be investigating, and we expect answers.”

MORE REACTIONS FOUND ON SOCIAL MEDIA:

Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.): “This is the logical consequence of politicizing a disaster relief agency. Unreal.”

Riley Gaines: “I’ve said this from day one: the weaponization of our government isn’t just against Trump—it’s against all of us.”

Host Jesse Kelly: “I can’t make this point any more clear: Government people must go to prison or we cannot save this country. Not firings. Not relocated. Not resignations. Unless government people are frog marched to prison for things like this, nothing will change. Put them all in work camps.”

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Col.): “Accountability must come. This is one of the most egregious things I’ve ever seen.”

Mike Benz: “So the government agency in charge of saving our lives wanted us to die.”

Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-Ga.): “PURE EVIL. We must clean up our deeply corrupt agencies and deliver accountability to the American people. January 20th can’t come soon enough.”

Robby Starbuck: “Wow. Everyone needs to see and share this thread. A FEMA official directed relief workers to not help homes with Trump signs. There’s no excuse for this. The officials responsible should be facing serious jail time over this.”
