but in doing so, actually directly contradicted the FEMA representative who claimed this was &ldquo;an isolated incident.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;They all alleged that these actions were made of my own recognizance, and that it was for my own political advances,&rdquo; Washington said. &ldquo;However, if you look at the record, there is what we call a &lsquo;community trend,&rsquo; and, unfortunately, it just so happened that the political hostility that was encountered by my team &mdash; and I was on two different teams during this deployment &mdash; uh, they just so happened to have the Trump campaign signage.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;FEMA always preaches avoidance first, then de-escalation.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>(Shouldn&rsquo;t it be the other way around?)<\/p>\n<p>Now comes the kicker from Washington: &ldquo;So this is not isolated. This is a colossal event of avoidance, not just in the state of Florida, but you will find avoidance in the Carolinas.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Senior leadership will lie to you and tell you that they do not know, but if you ask the [Disaster Survivor Assistance] crew leads and specialists what they are experiencing in the field, they will tell you.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Now, it&rsquo;s clear that both Washington and Martin are&nbsp;<em>trying&nbsp;<\/em>to spin this in a leftist manner, painting Trump supporters as literal threats to general safety.<\/p>\n<p>But since we already know that&rsquo;s not true (remind me, who was behind those &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/blms-mostly-peaceful-riots-cost-1000x-damage-jan-6-capitol-unrest\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mostly peaceful<\/a>&rdquo; riots in 2020?), let&rsquo;s look at the other part of this angle: Is FEMA really telling its employees to &mdash; at the first sign of resistance from people who are clearly shell-shocked and scared &mdash; drop all pretenses of helping your fellow American?<\/p>\n<p>Because that&rsquo;s what Washington is claiming, and that&rsquo;s offensive and despicable for a branch of the government that is supposed to help all Americans in need.<\/p>\n<p>It also can&rsquo;t be stressed how much of a dereliction of duty it is to disavow entire swathes of people based on the actions of a few &mdash; again, likely shocked and scared &mdash; Trump supporters.<\/p>\n<p>And who even knows what &ldquo;hostile&rdquo; means in this case?<\/p>\n<p>Look, it&rsquo;s bad enough for the government to play favorites when it comes to its own citizenry.<\/p>\n<p>But to then deny that or to obfuscate the truth about the matter? And to have all that exposed because of the very leftism that you&rsquo;re clearly fostering in your own agency?<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>THIS <\/strong><\/em>is why Trump was elected, on the basis of cleaning out the swamp.

A particularly troubling &#8220;We told you so&#8221; moment emerged shortly after the 2024 election when The Daily Wire reported that a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) official instructed her team not to visit homes of Trump supporters following Hurricanes Helene and Milton. The official, Marn\u2019i Washington, was subsequently terminated, and FEMA issued an apology. <\/p>\n<p>A FEMA representative stated that while they view this as an isolated incident, they are investigating to ensure it doesn\u2019t happen again. However, when Washington spoke on \u201cRoland Martin Unfiltered,\u201d she claimed she wasn\u2019t officially fired and contradicted FEMA\u2019s assertion about the incident being isolated. She suggested there was a broader pattern of avoidance regarding Trump supporters during disaster response efforts in Florida and the Carolinas.<\/p>\n<p>Washington&#8217;s comments raise serious concerns about whether FEMA is instructing its employees to abandon their duty to assist Americans based on perceived hostility from certain individuals\u2014specifically those displaying support for Trump\u2014during times of crisis. This behavior reflects poorly on a government agency meant to serve all citizens equally and highlights issues of favoritism within governmental operations. Such actions contribute to why many voters supported Trump&#8217;s campaign for change; if these discriminatory practices continue unchecked, it suggests a troubling trend within government agencies against ordinary Americans based on political affiliations<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2367909,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Roland-Martin-Marni-Washington.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[5102,18818,36155,34969,14057],"class_list":["post-2367908","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-discrimination","tag-fema","tag-government-accountability","tag-trump-supporters","tag-whistleblower"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Roland-Martin-Marni-Washington.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2367908","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2367908"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2367908\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2367912,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2367908\/revisions\/2367912"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2367909"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2367908"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2367908"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2367908"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
