Once again the thing that never happened, happened, and the government assures it won’t happen again.
U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) announced that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) taken action after the Committee’s investigation into allegations that employees refused to provide aid to hurricane victims identified as supporters of President Donald Trump.
“In November 2024, FEMA fired a supervisor for directing relief workers to avoid assisting homes displaying support for President Donald Trump in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton,” the Committee reports.
“In response, the House Oversight Committee launched an investigation into political discrimination at FEMA and held a hearing with former Administrator Deanne Criswell. This week, FEMA informed the Oversight Committee that it has terminated three additional employees for failing to uphold the agency’s standards of conduct. The agency is also implementing additional training to reinforce that political affiliation must never be a factor in disaster relief efforts,” the Committee added.
“Political affiliation should never be a factor in distributing taxpayer-funded disaster relief to Americans. I applaud FEMA for holding bad actors accountable and the Trump Administration for taking measures to ensure this never happens again at the agency. Americans demand accountability in Washington and President Trump and his administration are delivering it,” said Chairman Comer.
A Committee investigation found:
FEMA Administrator Criswell confirmed that the official who ordered workers to skip homes displaying Trump campaign signs has been fired. She also noted that an investigation into the matter is ongoing. However, concerns persist about a broader pattern of discrimination within the agency.
During the hearing, Committee staff made contact with a new whistleblower who provided a credible account of discrimination. According to the whistleblower, a FEMA contractor visited the home of an elderly disabled veteran’s family in Georgia and recommended they remove Trump campaign materials and signs from their property. The contractor stated this advice stemmed from his FEMA supervisor’s view that Trump supporters are like domestic terrorists.
FEMA Administrator Criswell committed under oath to turn over all communications and documents to the House Oversight Committee related to relief workers bypassing hurricane-impacted homes displaying campaign signs for President Trump.
