Biden Turned FEMA Into a Democrat Voter-Registration Machine and Prioritized Democrat Voters Over Republican Ones When Distributing Emergency Aid

Did Biden pardon Mayorkas?

Or himself?

Miranda Divine:

The Biden administration abused its power by turning the entire mechanism of the federal government into a Democratic voter mobilization campaign, according to newly unearthed White House documents viewed exclusively by The Post.

The worst offender was FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, under the Department of Homeland Security, which was controlled for four years by Biden's Machiavellian border buster Alejandro Mayorkas.

When responding to an emergency or a natural disaster, FEMA employees were directed to make voter registration a "key priority."

They politically targeted vulnerable people in their hour of need instead of focusing on providing federal assistance.

Left-wing NGOs were brought in to "educate" FEMA staff about "equity and voter access for individuals affected by disaster," says a Trump administration official.

"FEMA's job is to make sure Americans who have suffered catastrophic loss due to some disaster in their community [can access] food, water and shelter ... Under President Biden, FEMA, like every agency, produced a plan on how they would leverage these crisis situations for political [purposes]. I can't think of anything more disgusting."

FEMA employees were so fixated on voter outreach that, when they visited hurricane-ravaged Florida last October, they didn't even bother knocking on the doors of houses that had Trump signs in the yard.

Instead of assisting Hurricane Milton survivors, they were instructed to "avoid homes advertising Trump," according to an Office of Special Counsel complaint.

FEMA supervisor Marn'i Washington was fired as a scapegoat after Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis called foul on the scam and the Daily Wire reported that at least 20 homes with Trump signs or flags had been skipped by FEMA and denied the opportunity of qualifying for federal assistance.

It stands to reason that if FEMA's priority was getting out Democrats to vote, the last people they would want to visit were Trump supporters.

The Florida scandal came on the heels of the Biden administration's sluggish response to Hurricane Helene in Trump-supporting rural areas of North Carolina and Tennessee.

Whether it was Hurricane Helene, the Maui wildfires, Hurricane Ian, or the East Palestine train derailment in Ohio, FEMA always came up short during the Biden years.

The agency's inadequate performance is more understandable when you realize that providing actual disaster relief to victims had become simply a side dish to the partisan political priorities of the Democratic Party.

Remember, guys, it's Trump who's running an "authoritarian government." The people who banned speech and pressured banks to terminate the accounts of political enemies, and who weaponized the FBI, CIA, and FEMA into political weapons, were the anti-authoritarians, you see.
