Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody has filed a lawsuit against current and former officials of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for allegedly ordering its workers to ignore storm victims who support President-elect Trump.
"According to whistleblowers, 'at least 20 homes with Trump signs or flags' in Lake Placid, Florida 'were skipped from the end of October and into November due to the guidance.'"
Moody vowed to investigate the allegations as Floridians still face the threat of damaging storms this season.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said he supports the legal action and further instructed other state agencies to take "any action necessary" to investigate and hold alleged wrongdoers accountable.
"It's unacceptable for the federal government to discriminate against Floridians who voted for Trump, and especially egregious in the aftermath of a hurricane," he said.
