The speculation or theory that Democrats would politicize FEMA relief tying it to prefer Blue areas is accurate.

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.”

This didn’t just occur in Florida either. The Daily Wire says that the Biden White House was criticized for its slow response in Roan Mountain, Tennessee and other areas across the country too. FEMA told the Daily Wire they were looking into the accusations.

Politicizing disaster responses is despicable and whoever did this should be fired. Hurricanes don’t care if the areas they strike are made up of Democrats or Republicans.
