The Federal Emergency Management Agency supervisor accused of ordering her subordinates to bypass homes with Trump campaign signs in Florida has been fired, according to a report.
Marn’i Washington was sacked for telling disaster relief workers knocking on doors in Lake Placid, Fla., to “avoid homes advertising Trump,” FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell said Saturday, according to Daily Wire.
“More than 22,000 FEMA employees every day adhere to FEMA’s core values and are dedicated to helping people before, during and after disasters, often sacrificing time with their own families to help disaster survivors.
Recently, one FEMA employee departed from these values to advise her survivor assistance team to not go to homes with yard signs supporting President-elect Trump,” Criswell said in a statement.“
This is a clear violation of FEMA’s core values and principles to help people regardless of their political affiliation. This was reprehensible.”
“I want to be clear to all of my employees and the American people, this type of behavior and action will not be tolerated at FEMA and we will hold people accountable if they violate these standards of conduct,” she added.
