A Federal Emergency Management Agency worker has been fired after she directed workers helping hurricane survivors not to go to homes with yard signs supporting President-elect Donald Trump, the agency’s leader said in a statement Saturday.

“This is a clear violation of FEMA’s core values and principles to help people regardless of their political affiliation,” FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell said. “This was reprehensible.”

The agency did not identify the employee, nor did it say where it happened.

But Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, calling it “targeted discrimination” of Florida residents who support Trump, said it happened in Florida.

    Maybe she’s not but her father was a marxist economist. Maybe that doesn’t mean anything to you but would you think the same about Donald’s father if he was a literal fascist? I doubt it.

    You just keep assuming everyone sees the world the way you see. “No one with any intellectual honesty thinks that Harris is a communist.” is no different that the right claiming “No one with any intellectual honesty thinks that Trump is a fascist.”

    If you want to win elections you need to get some of the people who voted for Trump to vote for your candidate the next time. Calling them fascists is not helping. It already got you Trump twice.

      So the sins of the father are revisited on his daughter?

      Sounds like you’re one of those “red scare” peeps buddy. I mostly agreed with you until you popped off with this crap.

        I don’t think she’s a communist, and I’ve never claimed otherwise. I even acknowledged this in the part you’re quoting, yet you still choose to misinterpret my views.
