FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell spent over five hours on Tuesday testifying about an agency supervisor’s direction to relief workers to skip homes with Trump signs. But Criswell revealed little about the scandal, instead repeatedly pointing to the agency’s “ongoing investigation.” Lawmakers on two Republican-led committees grilled Criswell about since-fired FEMA supervisor Marn’i Washington, who told relief workers in Lake Placid, Florida to “avoid homes advertising Trump.” During questioning from lawmakers, Criswell confirmed that she had asked the Inspector General to conduct its own “independent” investigation.  “We are working with the inspector general to determine whether or not this is broader than this, but the evidence that I have seen so far shows that this was an isolated incident, and it has not gone beyond what this one employee did,” Criswell told the House Oversight Committee.  She said it was “too early to tell” when the investigation would wrap, but insisted she had “directly asked” the Inspector General to investigate both South and North Carolina. Investigations at the state level in Florida and Tennessee, and from various Republican senators and congressmen, are also underway. Multiple lawmakers asked Criswell about Chad Hershey, Washington’s supervisor in Highlands County, Florida, where relief workers skipped at least 20 homes displaying Trump flags or signs. Criswell said that Hershey was part of the ongoing investigation, but didn’t comment further. Hershey previously told The Daily Wire that “proper action” was being taken after he was asked about the Trump home guidance.  Criswell said that there were 11 people under Washington’s supervision who received guidance to skip homes with Trump signs. Images of the chat obtained by The Daily Wire reveal 13 participants, including Washington, suggesting there was one official over Washington in the messages. Criswell said she had not spoken with any of the 13 employees, adding that she has “an entire team that focuses on this investigation and that’s what they’re doing.” She said that anyone who is found to have discriminated against disaster victims for political reasons would be fired.  Criswell said that she became aware of the texts on November 7, the day The Daily Wire first reached out for comment on the messages. She said she directed her staff to investigate and was presented with proof of the texts on November 9. Later that day, she announced Washington had been fired.  A whistleblower report on the guidance was filed with the Department of Homeland Security on October 27. Criswell said the Office of Special Counsel began looking into the guidance on October 28.  She said multiple times throughout her testimony that she was “heartbroken” by the guidance, but said she believed there were no wider cultural problems at FEMA.  “I do not believe that this employee’s actions are indicative of any widespread cultural problems at FEMA,” Criswell said. “FEMA however has taken appropriate action to ensure this matter is fully investigated and I am committed to ensuring that nothing like this ever happens again.”  This directly contradicts Washington’s claims that FEMA has a widespread policy of skipping “politically hostile” homes, including in the Carolinas, and that the agency is trying to make her a scapegoat. “There is nothing in any of our policies, our training, or our information sent out to our field workers to avoid any home for whatever reason, especially not because of a political affiliation,” Criswell said. After the guidance became public, Criswell said she sent an email to all FEMA staff reiterating that they cannot discriminate based on politics, and ordered field workers to go through refresher training.  MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ Criswell also disputed Washington’s claims that FEMA uses “community trends” to skip homes. Washington said that “community trends” in Lake Placid showed people with Trump homes were “hostile,” leading to her guidance.  ”Our policies in nowhere talk about proactively discriminating against areas where they feel that there might be something harassing,” Criswell said, saying that “community trends” language was intended to mean that certain communities may have specific disaster-related needs. This contradicts statements from lawmakers who have said that other individuals have come forward to allege political bias. Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) said 35 of his constituents claim they had been discriminated against by FEMA for political reasons. Likewise, Oversight Chair James Comer (R-KY) said that a whistleblower had contacted his office telling him that an elderly Georgia couple was instructed by a FEMA supervisor to remove their Trump flags. Other lawmakers, including Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) and Rep. Lisa McClain (R-MI), told The Daily Wire on Tuesday that they were not satisfied with Criswell’s answers, and looked forward to seeing the results of full investigation.

Radio host Charlamagne tha God said New York officials should just throw out their case against President-elect Donald Trump because he won the election. During his radio show “The Breakfast Club” on Tuesday, the host talked about New York Justice Juan Merchan’s upcoming decision on the Trump hush money case, and said the Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg should just end the case against the president-elect, after Bragg asked Merchan to postpone it until 2029. “New York City, just throw the whole thing away, alright? Cut it out. Who are we fooling?” the radio host said. “Who are we fooling?” “Nothing’s going to happen to Trump, and nobody wants that retribution that he may deliver hanging over their head,” he added. “Just — he won the election. It is what it is. Cut ties, sever your losses, throw the whole case away. Come on. Who are we fooling, y’all? Who are you fooling, like seriously?” “And if you push it back for four years, that might give him more reason to stay, okay?” the host continued, while laughing. Trump’s legal team has also argued that the case against the president-elect should be dismissed. Bragg’s team of prosecutors has said that some action should be taken after Trump was convicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records in May, as previously reported. Charlamagne on Alvin Bragg pushing to suspend Trump’s case until 2029: “New York City, just throw the whole thing away, alright? Cut it out.

(@JasonJournoDC) November 20, 2024 Following the election, the radio host made headlines when he questioned whether Vice President Kamala Harris and other Democrats lied about the threat Trump was to so-called “democracy.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ “I will say this: I’m glad everybody’s having a sense of optimism because the reality is we have no choice, because we’re here now,” Charlamagne said. “Donald J. Trump is going to be the 47th president of the United States of America, like it or not, and we all hope for the best for this country. That’s all we can do.” “But don’t y’all find it strange that now that he’s won, they’re not calling him a threat to democracy?” he added. “They’re not calling him a fascist. I mean, damn, on Monday, they was just calling him that.” “I would think that, you know, if you really believe that, then somebody’s speech would be about how America effed up and how things are about to be really bad,” the host continued. “It just makes you wonder how much of it did they really believe, or how much of it was just politics. That’s all.” Related: Charlamagne Tha God Questions Whether Dems Lied About Trump Threat

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, whom President-elect Donald Trump has tasked with running the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), laid out their vision in a Wall Street Journal op-ed on Wednesday. Musk and Ramaswamy said that the way the government is currently run is “antidemocratic and antithetical to the Founders’ vision” because it takes the power out of the hands of elected leaders and places it in the hands of bureaucrats. The department was created to “cut the federal government down to size,” they wrote. “The entrenched and ever-growing bureaucracy represents an existential threat to our republic, and politicians have abetted it for too long.” They said that the Trump transition team has hired them to lead a lean team of “small-government crusaders” who will “pursue three major kinds of reform: regulatory rescissions, administrative reductions and cost savings.” They continued: A drastic reduction in federal regulations provides sound industrial logic for mass head-count reductions across the federal bureaucracy. DOGE intends to work with embedded appointees in agencies to identify the minimum number of employees required at an agency for it to perform its constitutionally permissible and statutorily mandated functions. The department will work with legal experts and use “advanced technology” to determine where cuts can be made immediately that they say will “liberate individuals and businesses from illicit regulations never passed by Congress and stimulate the U.S. economy.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ They said that DOGE will aim to gut $500 billion in annual federal expenditures every year that are “unauthorized by Congress or being used in ways that Congress never intended, from $535 million a year to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and $1.5 billion for grants to international organizations to nearly $300 million to progressive groups like Planned Parenthood.” They also advocated for large scale audits of federal contracts that have gone unexamined, which they argued would yield “significant savings” to taxpayers. Musk and Ramaswamy said that they aim to dissolve the DOGE by July 4, 2026, hoping that they will have fixed many of the country’s spending problems by its 250th birthday.
