The acting administrator of FEMA has been fired one day after he broke with fellow members of the administration when he told lawmakers he does not support dismantling the agency.

Applause as the honest man is escorted from the building! “The move comes one day after Hamilton defended FEMA during testimony in front of the House Appropriations Committee.
“As the senior advisor to the President on disasters and emergency management, and to the Secretary of Homeland Security…”
“…I do not believe it is in the best interest the American people to eliminate the Federal Emergency Management Agency,”Hamilton told the committee Wednesday. “Having said that, I am not in a position to make decisions and impact outcomes…”
“…on whether or not a determination as consequential as that should be made. That is a conversation that should be had between the President of the United States and this governing body.”
Thank you, Mr. Hamilton, for speaking the truth about protecting FEMA! 👏🏻👍🏻👏🏻
Trump is the " God helps those who helps themselves " President. as in he is helping himself to all the FEMA funding to put in his pocket. got a disaster, look to God eh? he should be impeached and ousted just on this alone. it's the President's job to safeguard and help Americans when need help
Soooo, basically if you work in any federal agency, the only response is to say that you can’t wait for the agency to be dismantled so that you and others can lose their jobs, and that you hope to never be put in a position to help needy voters who are victims of a natural disaster.
Got it.🥴🤬
He can be proud that he stood up for what he believes is right . He knows FEMA is needed . This administration doesn’t care about the American people- just their little circle of users and grifters
Yes, Cameron Hamilton showed integrity and backbone. He cares about Americans. Somehow, Kristi Noem considered that a personal threat and he was fired. Noem is clearly putting herself before the American people. Sadly, only the devastating results of eliminating FEMA will prove Hamilton right.
The White House has a Loyalty Test. With just one wrong answer, the staff member will be terminated within one week. There is not enough oxygen in the White House for more than Trump's opinion. Don't even try. If you are in the Administration, you need to save your breath for sucking Trump's ass.
Some people don’t want to be responsible for the resultant loss of property and deaths because of a corrupt, fascist government that is intent on destroying the United States and its governmental agencies that were established to SAVE lives, not ignore any disastrous events and the results.
Since this administration has no use for FEMA perhaps this would be a good year for a massive hurricane to hit Mar a Lago. Also does the moron in the Oval realize most of his supporters live in typical disaster zones?
Something like 90% of FEMA funds go to Gulf states who have cut their own taxes to the bone. They all voted for Trump. Are there FEMA funds to fix their lack of critical thinking skills?
The cheering on of the billionaires, by the poorest of the red hats, is like the deathrow inmate, cheering on his own execution, as they turn on the electric chair.
At this point, it’s not even subtle. If you believe in the mission of your agency or try to do your job with integrity, you’re out. Trump isn’t running a government, he’s gutting one.
Shi., I live on the EC and hurricanes/flooding worries me. He has decimated NOAA whom we rely upon to show the trajectories of serious weather. Now FEMA?!! At this point all Americans should withhold their taxes as all civil services have been removed from our lives.
