FEMA’s administrator said the employee told a team responding to hurricane survivors to skip homes with yard signs showing support for Donald Trump.
A Federal Emergency Management Agency worker has been fired after she told a team responding to hurricane survivors to not go to homes with yard signs showing support for President-elect Donald Trump, the agency said.
FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell called the employee’s action “reprehensible,” and said the matter had been referred to the Office of Special Counsel.
“This is a clear violation of FEMA’s core values & principles to help people regardless of their political affiliation,” Criswell said in a statement on Saturday.
