From the Top?

On 11/9/24 I wrote … a critical question needs to be asked: “Was Marn’i Washington acting on her own?”
For those of you who may have missed my 11/9 blog Marn’i Washington was a FEMA Florida supervisor who told workers in a message to “avoid homes advertising Trump” as they canvassed Lake Placid, Florida to identify residents who could qualify for federal aid after hurricane Milton.
FEMA higher-ups quickly disassociated themselves from Ms. Washington, and within a few days she was fired.
However the story didn’t end there.
From X:
“Fired FEMA Manager Claims Discrimination Against Trump Supporters Wasn’t Isolated, Says Agency ‘Made [Her] a Patsy’
Furthermore she said that FEMA workers were instructed to do it in the Carolinas too.”

CV NEWSFEED // Former Federal Emergency Management Agency supervisor Marn’i Washington on Tuesday took to social media for an interview with American journalist Roland Martin to discuss why she was fired from FEMA.
Washington alleged that the policy and instructions were developed by higher-ups and can be traced back through FEMA reports.
“Senior leadership will lie to you and tell you that they do not know,” she said. “But if you ask the DSA crew leads and specialists what they are experiencing in the field they will tell you ‘demand for FEMA to give you those incident reports.’”

How believable is what Ms Washington is saying?
Remember that FEMA is, after all, part of the Department of Homeland Security, and is under DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who in my opinion has often been far from being on the straight-and-narrow.
Ergo, the same aforementioned question remains, “Was Marn’i Washington acting on her own?” … or was she acting on orders from the top?
