If there were death threats against people working for me, I'd tell them to avoid those people, too. It's not discrimination. It's a safety issue. A lot of them were threatening to shoot FEMA workers if they violated their property.

Not that I agree with this but on some level it could be construed as self-preservation after the hunting parties in western NC
"Don't go where they're likely to shoot you" could so easily be construed as "Don't go where there's Trump signs."
That's exactly what I was thinking.
How much do you want to bet it was just a guy saying "Hey be careful with trumpers because they like to shoot at us." political discrimination my ass. Wolves whining because a sheep won't jump into their teeth.
Don't forget, only a few weeks ago we had "Armed Militia 'Hunting FEMA' Causes Hurricane Responders to Evacuate".
FEMA has also been accused by former president Donald Trump and other Republicans of not being able to respond well enough to Helene because it had diverted disaster relief funds to help migrants. That is not true
This wouldn't help FEMA workers feel safe.
These professional perpetual victims get a whiff of any actual perceived slight against them and they just cum in their little pants don't they?
In reality, if anything, someone probably said "We know the trump supporters have been threatening FEMA workers, if you don't feel safe about the houses with trump signs, you don't need to put yourself in what you feel is a dangerous position. You can skip those homes and we'll help those people when/if they file with the office"

No surprise the root of this comes from modern christianity. In their mind anything they can call persecution adds credit (increased self-righteous bs) to their own dogma. Of course when they do it to other people they are saving them from hell so just about anything goes.
I wish I could be outraged. I really do.
What they did was so fucking wrong and so fucking understandable.
I mean, I wouldn’t want to get attacked by a conspiracy theorist (that sounds wrong) either.
While this type of behavior is pathetic. Any news article that cannot even mention the county of where this happened is likely propaganda.
So take it with a grain of salt
But Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, calling it “targeted discrimination” of Florida residents who support Trump, said it happened in Florida.
Yeah im not trusting desantis who has a track record of spreading lies and misinformation. Obviously hes going to say florida because thats where the “source” is coming from and not to mention he is gov of Florida
Hes not going to specify what county because thats when things can really be confirmed.
The Daily Wire first reported on the incident, citing internal correspondence between the employee and workers canvassing homes in Lake Placid, Florida, in which the employee instructed them to “avoid homes advertising Trump.” Source
An employee with the Federal Emergency Management Agency has been fired after reports that in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton, the employee told relief workers in Florida to pass over houses with signs supporting Donald J. Trump, the agency said Saturday. Source
The employee's actions were first reported by the conservative news site Daily Wire. The Daily Wire reported that the employee gave the instruction to workers who were responding to Hurricane Milton in Lake Placid, Florida. Source
Thats good stuff thanks for the sources
Florida isn't a county
AP has gone to shit. They actually fact checked Harris on Project 2025 by asking the orange turd about 2025 - "THE FACTS: Trump has said he doesn’t know about Project 2025, a controversial blueprint for another Republican presidential administration."
The fact is that he said he doesn’t know about Project 2025 at that debate.
Lying liar lies again.
no, you must prioritize rescuing people defunding the rescuers. this is important.
desantis can fuck right off though. wasn't he one of the ones pushing for defunding fema?
This is exactly the kind of shit we must not stoop to. Let the Trumpers feed themselves to the leopards. They don't need our help destroying themselves, they're perfectly good at doing that themselves.
To stoop to their level id need a shovel.
The general discussion was to avoid them after Trump supporters went around threatening FEMA.
First rule of first response- look after yourself.
Oh no, stop, please.
