Staff of the Federal Emergency Management Agency were left baffled on Monday after the head of the U.S. disaster agency said during a briefing that he had not been aware the country has a hurricane season, according to four sources familiar with the situation.
The U.S. hurricane season officially began on Sunday and lasts through November. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration forecast last week that this year’s season is expected to bring as many as 10 hurricanes.
The remark was made by David Richardson, who has led FEMA since early May. It was not clear to staff whether he meant it literally, as a joke, or in some other context.
I feel like maybe he might not be qualified for the position. Maybe.
So a perfect Trump appointee.
That’s the point.
It’s a lot easier to get away with stealing millions when you have a well known idiot to blame.
MAGA was right about DEI hires all along. Just sucks they only apply t negative connotations to DEI for women and people of color. Whites can’t possibly be DEI!
Their racism is exhausting.
