"A Federal Emergency Management Agency supervisor was fired and is under investigation for allegedly asking team members to not inspect homes in a hurricane-ravaged Florida town that had signs supporting Donald Trump's campaign, the agency said.

The incident occurred when the unidentified FEMA supervisor was surveying damage from Hurricane Milton in Florida and allegedly instructed their members to avoid the homes that had the signs, the agency said in a statement.

FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell called the incident "reprehensible."

"This is a clear violation of FEMA’s core values and principles to help people regardless of their political affiliation," she said in a statement.

The supervisor has been terminated and the matter has been turned over to FEMA's Office of Special Counsel, according to Criswell.

"This type of behavior and action will not be tolerated at FEMA and we will hold people accountable if they violate these standards of conduct," she said.

"I will continue to do everything I can to make sure this never happens again," Criswell added."

Example 2:

"Iowa pediatrician tells Trump supporter 'I hope you lose your kid in a school shooting'

A pediatric cardiologist for University of Iowa Health Care is facing an internal probe over a social media post directed at a supporter of President-elect Donald Trump.

Dr.Mayank Sharma engaged in a political conversation with a Trump supporter on X Wednesday morning. After the Trump supporter told him to "stay mad,"Dr. Sharma unleashed a graphic response.

"Well I hope you lose your kid in a school shoo[t]ing," Dr. Sharma wrote. "Already you have nothing to lose, it won't matter to you anyways! Prepare for your kids funeral."

The post was deleted shortly thereafter. Dr. Sharma also deleted his X account, but anarchived version of the account reveals his bio identified him as a "pediatric cardiologist."

Dr. Sharma was formerly listed as a pediatric cardiology fellow on theUniversity of Iowa Health Care website. His name no longer appears on the fellowship's website. The fellowship is based at theUniversity of Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital.

University of Iowa Health Care confirmed in a statement to The National News Desk that the university is "aware of the situation and is reviewing the matter" in accordance with its policies.

"The University of Iowa strongly objects to violence," the statement added."

Example 3:

"A University of Oregon staffer has been suspended for posting a video calling for Donald Trump supporters to commit suicide.

Leonard Serrato, the Assistant Director of Fraternity and Sorority Life at the school, was put on leave by the taxpayer-funded college Thursday over the 'abhorrent' Instagram story shared in the wake of the presidential election results.

In the clip, Serrato said he was 'done crying' and his 'anger has set in', and said he was a 'proudly petty person' going after Trump-supporting acquaintances.

'I'm saying this in the most disrespectful way possible - I don't care if you are my family, I don't care if you are my friend, I don't care if we've been friends our entire lives - You can literally go f**k yourself if you voted for Donald Trump,' he said.

'If you are so sad about your groceries being expensive, get a f*****g better paying job. Do better in life. Get a f****g education. Do something, cause you’re f*****g stupid and I hope you go jump off a f*****g bridge.'

After Serrato's video circulated widely on social media, the University of Oregon placed the staffer on administrative leave and said it was 'investigating' the clip.

'The University of Oregon finds the statements made in the video abhorrent and not in alignment with our values or mission,' the school said in a statement.

'We appreciate the conflict between his statements, his role in Student Life at the University, and our institutional values. This individual has been placed on administrative leave.

'We opened an investigation and are reviewing the matter under university policies and the individual’s role as a public employee.

'We counseled the individual and requested and confirmed that the post is down. As a public university we take our duty seriously to provide an environment that welcomes diversity of thought and respect in alignment with our education mission.

'While we investigate, we are providing support for concerned students and employees, including resources for mental and emotional health.'

Example 4:

"SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. —

A Seminole County high school teacher was suspended and pending an investigation after making political comments in class after the election results.

"If you are not white, you are going to be in trouble over the next four years as far as the living situation of the United States, and I'm not kidding," the teacher told her classroom.

A Lake Brantley High School biology teacher, whose name we're not sharing, nor any of her students, allegedly told them on Wednesday that Project 2025 would change lives.

Project 2025 is considered a conservative policy blueprint for reshaping the federal government.

"They're talking about deporting people, and if you're from Central America, they want to deport you. If you're from South America, they want to deport you," the teacher said. "He's talking about deporting Black people back to Africa. I don’t know why he thinks they have any place to go when you guys were born in the United States, most of you."

"Wait, so Trump is going to deport everybody back to where they are from? What if my mom's white?" a student asked.

"Again, I think you're missing my point," the teacher replied.

She explained she was telling them because their generation will be most affected.

"I was shocked, in disbelief at some of the things she was saying in the class," a mother said.

The mother said her son was in the classroom when the teacher made the political remarks.

"He couldn't believe it either. I don't want the other kids to be scared or terrified that they are being shipped off somewhere," she said.

Several students and parents told administrators about Wednesday's discussion.

The principal said it's being investigated as potentially inflammatory topics outside the purview of her course. Here's part of his call to the school family:

"After an initial review of this matter, we have forwarded the concerns to the Office of Professional Standards, and the teacher has been placed on temporary administrative leave pending the outcome of an investigation into these allegations," the school said.

The teacher told the classroom they were still too young to understand.

"I know you think it's funny, but you're not really old enough to know to have somebody like that in office, I do. I've seen it. My dad fought in World War II against Hitler's Nazis," the teacher said.

You guys live in a country way too big for you. Anectdotes are fine, but with 320 million (or whatever)...well...crazy stuff happens all the time.

I would be you money more people have had to extract hamsters from their anal cavities in US ERs in the last 72 hours than the 3 examples you have found here.

You act like a fema admin flatly stating to ignore trump supporters in a disaster zone is not a big deal.

Jergul struggles with non-linear importance of things and stuff, this is his thing. Like the scale and impact of corruption in key government officials and the highly unrelated stochastic craziness that goes on in a population of 100’s of millions.

It is most def a big deal and the foreman in charge of that particular crew should and will be terminated.

Wrongdoing was reported and dealth with by FEMA.

For crazy I am talking about, see people trying to spin the foreman of a workcrew into a "key government official".

Nice projection bro. That is what I had said you guys are doing. You should live in a tribal village of about 200 people. Anything more complex breaks you. Not your fault. Mordern societies are pretty complex. Not everyone can keep up.

I am happy with proving American bigotry either way. The foreman out of control was clearly a bigot that got fired. So there is a limit to how much hay you can make out of that particular example of American bigotry.

Why do you keep referring to a fema supervisor of a disaster area as a "foreman"?

Is there a reason you refuse to state her title correctly? Is it perhaps because the term foreman minimizes the position of authority and responsibility the correct term of fema supervisor implies?

Because I checked what the forman was leading.

Disaster Survivor Assistance teams are small boots on the ground units. There are gazillions of them deployed to disaster areas.

Or did you prefer foreperson? Is that your beef? Hard to tell with you Americans.

Lets try a different tack:

More than 849 Fema "Supervisors" and "Key Government Officials" provided unbiased and effective survivor assistance.

Do you see now?

Jergul, proven wrong yet again.

You are going on the record taking as gospel what a black disgruntled employee has to say? That is totally not going to bite you in the ass.

I will give that incredibly biased source quoted in an incredibly trashy tabloid the benefit of the doubt and ammend my last post:

More than 847 Fema "Supervisors" and "Key Government Officials" provided unbiased and effective survivor assistance.

Meanwhile, US job losses are mounting thanks to Trump:

"HANCOCK COUNTY — The Hancock County Prosecutor’s Office (HCPO) has fired one of its deputy prosecutors following what Prosecutor Brent Eaton called “inappropriate posts that violated the office mission statement” on her social media page.

Deputy Prosecutor Jordan Ouellette (Stroh) was informed via email earlier this week that her services would no longer be needed. The decision comes after Eaton was made aware of posts where she asked for those who voted for Donald J. Trump to be president to unfriend her because they “disgust” her.

She also posted other statements and comments disparaging Trump supporters and at least one statement comparing those who support Trump to Nazis.

In an interview with the Daily Reporter, Eaton said, “Every time I think about it, how would I feel if I replaced, ‘Trump voter’ with any other group? People would be offended, and how can that person offer discretion over how the law is applied … It’s like making comments about a religious or ethnic group.”

Eaton noted that Ouellette has been away from the office on her honeymoon since she posted comments about the presidential election, but after he learned about the posts he didn’t feel she should be allowed to come back because she could not be fair or impartial representing the people of Hancock County.

One of the posts that disturbed Eaton, who is her boss and was elected as a Republican stated, “If you voted for Trump, please unfriend me. You disgust me and clearly don’t respect me or other human beings.”"

"Supporters and critics of a Moreno Valley history teacher who was placed on leave after a profane anti-Trump rant in class clashed over his fate at Tuesday’s Moreno Valley Unified District board meeting.

The Valley View High School teacher called the president-elect a “rapist draft-dodging coward” during a lecture for his AP history students on Nov. 6. He told them black and Latino voters didn’t support Kamala Harris because she has a “vagina and uterus,” and claimed that Latino voters who support Trump want to be white.

The teacher has been placed on administrative leave while the incident is under investigation, according to a Moreno Valley Unified School District spokesperson.

In a recording of his lecture that was shared by a conservative commentator on X, Perez asked his students pointed questions about a second Trump presidency, but did not seem to invite a discourse as he railed against the once and future president.

“Can you end up with no human rights? Yes. Will it happen to you? Most likely not. Which is a good thing, but has Donald Trump quoted Hitler? Yes. Does he embody some of Hitler’s ideas? Yes,” he told his students in the video.

"Scientific American editor-in-chief leaves magazine after 'offensive' election night posts

Laura Helmuth, who has served as the editor-in-chief of Scientific American since 2020, announced Thursday she is stepping away from the magazine following a series of social media posts in which she reportedly cursed at President-elect Donald Trump’s supporters.

“I’ve decided to leave Scientific American after an exciting 4.5 years as editor in chief,” Helmuth posted on the Bluesky social media platform. “I’m going to take some time to think about what comes next (and go birdwatching).”

TheDailyMail.com reported her as posting on the night of the presidential election, “Solidarity to everybody whose meanest, dumbest, most bigoted high-school classmates are celebrating early results because f*** them to the moon and back.”

She also reportedly apologized to younger voters, writing that Generation X is “so full of f***ing fascists.”

In another post, Helmuth called Indiana, where she said she grew up, racist and sexist, according to TheDailyMail.com.

“Every four years I remember why I left Indiana (where I grew up) and remember why I respect the people who stayed and are trying to make it less racist and sexist,” the outlet quoted her as posting.

“The moral arc of the universe isn't going to bend itself,” Helmuth reportedly added."
