FLORIDA TRUMP SUPPORTERS WEARING THEIR SKIRTS TOO HIGH: FEMA Official Ordered Relief Workers To Skip Houses With Trump Signs.

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.”

FEMA has apparently confirmed this incident took place:

“FEMA admits this happened,” Ace writes. “They claim they took ‘extreme actions’ in response. I bet those ‘extreme actions’ consisted of one hour of ‘retraining.’”

Not even that. As the Daily Wire notes, “The employees say that Washington has not been punished for the guidance, but has been shifted to another county in Florida.”
