If this is true, it's absolutely unacceptable. Disaster relief should never be about politics – everyone deserves help, no matter who they support. It’s crazy that we’re even talking about this kind of bias in an agency that’s supposed to serve ALL Americans. I’m glad Steve Scalise is getting involved because we need a full investigation and accountability. FEMA better clean up its act fast because this isn’t what taxpayers expect.
Typical government corruption—punishing hardworking Americans just because they support Trump!
This is exactly why we need less government interference in our lives. FEMA shouldn’t even have the power to pick and choose who gets help based on political beliefs. If people were allowed to keep more of their own money, they could prepare for these disasters themselves instead of relying on some biased federal agency.
