Missouri Sen. Hawley Demands Investigation Into Alleged FEMA Bias Against Florida Trump Supporters
U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) has called for an investigation into reports that a Biden Administration supervisor instructed FEMA workers to withhold federal disaster aid from Floridians who displayed support for President-elect Donald Trump.
Marn’i D Washington has been removed from her position with FEMA following the allegations that she instructed disaster relief teams to bypass homes with pro-Trump signs.
In a letter addressed to Inspector General Joseph Cuffari, who oversees oversight of the Department of Homeland Security, Hawley urged a thorough review of the allegations.
“I urge you to launch a comprehensive investigation into this incident to ensure that no American is denied disaster relief due to their political beliefs,” Senator Hawley demanded.
Hawley also pointed to screenshots from FEMA’s aid logs that reportedly show field workers bypassing an estimated 20 homes, citing the directive as the reason for exclusion: “Trump sign no entry per leadership.”
“[S]creenshots of FEMA’s aid logs show that workers did in fact skip an estimated 20 homes in their canvassing routes, explicitly stating the only reason as ‘Trump sign no entry per leadership.’ This is wholly unacceptable and egregious behavior that has no place in our nation’s disaster relief programs,” said Hawley.
Hawley is demanding:
1. Any information relating to Marn’i Washington’s employment status at FEMA. Has she been fired from the agency, or just reassigned?
2. Any and all information relating to internal formal complaints made against Marn’i Washington for discrimination or misuse of government resources.
3. Any other directives or guidance issued by FEMA officials that direct workers or volunteers not to assist individuals with federal assistance outside the bounds of the law.
