Rep. Marc Molinaro, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing New York's 19th district, recently expressed concerns about FEMA's response to disasters in a series of tweets. His posts focused on perceived shortcomings in FEMA's support for Trump supporters affected by recent hurricanes.
On November 19, 2024, Rep. Molinaro criticized FEMA's disaster response, describing it as "more than shameful." He announced that the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee would question FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell regarding allegations that Trump supporters in Florida and North Carolina were overlooked. "FEMA’s response to the recent disasters across our country has been more than shameful."
Later that day, he urged viewers to watch as the committee held Administrator Criswell accountable for what he described as neglect towards Trump households impacted by hurricanes. Rep. Molinaro emphasized that FEMA should not show favoritism and must prepare all Americans for major disasters. "Tune in NOW as @TransportGOP holds FEMA Administrator Criswell accountable for deliberately ignoring Trump households."
In a subsequent tweet, Molinaro posed a straightforward question regarding FEMA’s priorities: whether its duty is to prioritize Americans first. He noted that Administrator Criswell did not provide an answer during the hearing. "WATCH: Simple question. Is it @fema’s job to put Americans first? @FEMA_Deanne won’t answer."
