In a complaint filed Wednesday in the Southern District of Florida, Moody said Marn’i Washington, a former supervisor for the Federal Emergency Management Agency, told relief workers assisting the victims of hurricanes Helene and Milton to avoid homes “advertising Trump.”

A whistleblower filed a complaint regarding the incident last week, stating that employees were allegedly told in late October that they should skip houses of Trump supporters when canvassing in Lake Placid,

Marn’i Washington, who says she was let go by FEMA after the messages were leaked, claimed in an interview with reporter Roland Martin that it is common practice among officials to skip homes – regardless of their demonstrated political affiliation – that have hostile residents.
