President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> spoke out on Friday about a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/fema" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FEMA</a> scandal where relief workers skipped homes because of Trump signs or flags.
Trump decried the incident, which was first reported by The Daily Wire, as he spoke to hurricane victims in North Carolina. Trump has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-promises-overhaul-of-fema-floats-getting-rid-of-agency?topStoryPosition=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">proposed drastic</a> changes to FEMA and suggested that he may sign an executive order to get rid of the agency altogether.
“A whistleblower testified that some FEMA employees refused to help people who display Trump signs on their property. I think that&#8217;s true, isn&#8217;t it? I read that. That&#8217;s not nice, that&#8217;s not too nice, is it? But whoever those property people were, thank you very much,” Trump said.
In November, The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-fema-official-ordered-relief-workers-to-skip-houses-with-trump-signs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">broke a story</a> that FEMA supervisor Marn’i Washington had ordered relief workers in Lake Placid to “avoid homes advertising Trump.” These instructions were given in person and verbally, whistleblowers told The Daily Wire. At least 20 homes were skipped due to the orders.
A day after the story broke, Washington was fired and FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell maintained it was an isolated incident and FEMA workers visited the homes that were skipped.
The incident is still under investigation by multiple entities and Florida has sued FEMA and Washington, alleging a conspiracy to discriminate against Trump supporters.
Other whistleblowers have come forward alleging similar misconduct in Georgia and North Carolina.
One whistleblower <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/republicans-ask-for-probe-into-allegations-fema-skipped-entire-neighborhoods-with-trump-signs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure that entire neighborhoods were skipped if they found three or more signs that said things like “Make America Great Again,” “Drain the Swamp,” “Don’t Tread on Me,” or a Trump campaign sign.

The inspector general for the Department of Homeland Security <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dhs-inspector-general-confirms-fema-probe-says-aid-should-not-be-politically-based" target="_blank" rel="noopener">has initiated</a> an investigation into the multiple allegations of FEMA misconduct, including in North Carolina and Florida.
Later during his visit to North Carolina, Trump said that he was likely going to revamp FEMA and give more responsibility for disaster relief to the states.
“We’re looking at the whole concept of FEMA,” he <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fema-not-good-trump-announces-agency-overhaul-during-visit-north-carolina" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. “FEMA has really let us down. Let the country down.”
“We’re going to fix it, and we’re going to fix it as fast as you can,” he added. “It’s a massive amount of damage. FEMA has really let us down. Let the country down. And I don’t know if that’s Biden’s fault or whose fault it is, but we’re going to take over. We’re going to do a good job.”
