Florida Relief Workers Directed to Bypass Trump Supporters' Homes During Hurricane Milton

FEMA Supervisor's Controversial Order Sparks Investigation
In the aftermath of Hurricane Milton, disaster relief workers in Florida were allegedly instructed to avoid aid to homes displaying support for President-elect Donald Trump, according to a report by _NY Post_ and Daily Wire.

Marn'i Washington, a FEMA supervisor, issued the directive through verbal communication and a Microsoft Teams chat, directing her team working in one of the worst-hit areas, Lake Placid, to 'avoid homes advertising Trump.' Consequently, around 20 homes were reportedly overlooked as outlined by Washington's 'best practices' memo sent to employees.

These instructions have prompted outrage, with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis launching an investigation into what he called 'blatant weaponization of government by partisan activists.' DeSantis announced the investigation via social media, expressing hope for change in the federal bureaucracy.

FEMA acknowledged awareness of the situation and stated that action is underway, although no penalties were reported against Washington, who was relocated to a different county.

Hurricane Milton left a devastating impact in Florida, leading to at least 16 deaths, severe flooding, and widespread power outages as over three million people were left without electricity.

The hurricane highlighted the growing intensity of storms, demonstrated by significant rainfall and tornadoes that preceded its arrival.
