Fired FEMA supervisor skip Trump signs: uncomfortable with dogs; Pete Hegseth on women in combat

The fired FEMA supervisor who told subordinates to skip hurricane-ravaged homes with Trump signs did a sit-down interview on Fox News and said that staff had the right to not go to homes with Trump signs if they were uncomfortable, similar to them avoiding homes with aggressive dogs on the property.

Marn’i Washington says this was FEMA policy, and it applied in other states beyond Florida affected by the hurricanes. She says she’s being made the scapegoat because she wrote the directive, which was later leaked to Daily Wire.

Does she not see the irony in this criticism?

Veteran Sen. Tammy Duckworth on Pete Hegseth saying women shouldn’t serve in combat: “I would ask him, ‘Where do you think I lost my legs? In a bar fight?’ I’m pretty sure I was in combat when that happened.”

Transcript Highlights

The following is transcribed from the video audio:

• If you have loose dogs and someone on the team is comfortable with dogs and another person is not, we can’t go to that home because of safety precautions
• So you feared the Trump houses, the people on FEMA were fearing the Trump houses like they were fearing people with vicious dogs in their backyard
• There are millions of women who have served in the US military, as you know, as someone who has not only served, but you’re also someone whose helicopter was hit by an RPG
• You lost your legs in partial use of your right arm because of it
• What was, what did go through your mind as a woman who has served when you heard him saying that women should not be in combat roles
• Well, I, that he has come, he’s shown that he’s absolutely, absolute lack of experience and his lack of suitability for the job because anybody that truly knows and military knows that we cannot go to war without over 225,000 women who are serving on active duty
• Right now, our military cannot go to war without our female service members
• You know, this is not the revolutionary war where there’s some sort of a line in the sand and then, you know, combat is on one side and the rest of us can stay behind the sign and that’s not combat
• I would ask him, you know, where do you think I lost my legs in a bar fight
• I’m pretty sure I was in combat when that happened
