Description
WATCH LIVE: Attorney General Moody and Rep. Buchanan are discussing efforts to "demand accountability" from FEMA over "political discrimination."
BACKGROUND:
A lone FEMA employee told her survivor assistance team to not go to homes with yard signs supporting then-candidate Donald Trump while surveying damage from Hurricane Milton in Florida. FEMA fired the employee for her behavior, FEMA administrator Deanne Criswell said in a Nov. 9 statement.
Criswell said the incident was a “clear violation” of FEMA’s core values and principles, which include helping people regardless of political affiliation. Criswell called the behavior “reprehensible” and said she will do everything she can to make sure such an incident does not happen again.
