It didn’t begin with this yr’s hurricanes: Crew Biden’s weaponization of FEMA — discriminating towards the “wrong” catastrophe victims — goes again years.
And it’s not all on lower-level bureaucrats: The orders got here from the highest.
Sure, FEMA axed Marn’i Washington within the face of damning proof she advised subordinates to skip outreach to houses with pro-Trump indicators after Hurricane Milton, which led to at the very least 20 houses getting skipped in October and early November.
However Washington says she was simply adhering to company coverage, and her supervisor OK’d her order: It was no “isolated” incident, as Biden’s FEMA people declare.
An ex-FEMA official backs up that declare, telling The Submit that bypassing Trump-backers has lengthy been an open secret on the company, as a part of a bigger coverage of discrimination beneath Biden’s Range, Fairness and Inclusion directives.
That’s, FEMA quietly prioritizes “the most under-resourced, marginalized communities first,” the supply studies — which suggests strolling proper previous evident catastrophe victims who don’t match the invoice.
Washington explains a method it really works: “FEMA preaches avoidance first, and then de-escalation” to its on-the-ground workers: Keep away from owners who look prone to be hostile.
But the coverage she says higherups OK’d of shunning houses solely as a result of they sport a pro-Trump signal quantities to blatant profiling — both a bigoted assumption that Trump backers are all harmful, or a sideways excuse for intentional political discrimination.
No surprise Florida GOP Rep. Carlos Gimenez is furious: “The Biden administration weaponized FEMA to purposely deny Trump-supporting Americans critical aid and assistance during a natural disaster,” he advised The Submit.
It suits a sample: The Biden Justice Division, recall, is known for focusing on political opponents, from dad and mom at school-board conferences to Trump himself.
Biden’s Federal Aviation Administration, Federal Commerce Fee, Securities and Alternate Fee, Nationwide Labor Relations Board, US Legal professional for the Southern District of New York and US Fish and Wildlife Service have all probed Elon Musk after he had the temerity of aligning himself with Trump and, worse, championing free speech.
And the bigger DEI push (by Biden on the federal stage, and all over the place else it’s been embraced) is nothing however rank discrimination within the identify of “social justice.”
At FEMA and much past, Crew Trump has an entire lot of house-cleaning to do.
