Firing back | Sacked FEMA worker says she was responding to reported MAGA threats

A former FEMA worker dismissed for advising her team to avoid homes displaying Donald Trump signs in the wake of recent disasters has broken her silence, saying her actions were about safety, not politics.

Marn’i Washington, who was recently terminated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), claims her comments were intended to ensure the safety of her disaster relief team members after reports emerged that they were being targeted by armed militia supporting Donald Trump.

Washington said that her text messages reflected a general FEMA practice of exercising caution when entering properties with potentially confrontational residents, regardless of political leanings.

According to Washington, the issue was not about political expression but about safety in areas where Trump signs could be indicators of hostility toward government workers.
