House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) contended the Federal Emergency Management Agency had been “weaponized” to discriminate against conservatives, adding that the most recent claims against the agency are part of “a pattern” for it.

FEMA has been accused of skipping over Florida houses promoting President-elect Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential bid, which has since resulted in the House Oversight Committee demanding for FEMA to provide a detailed briefing on this claim. Comer stated on Sunday that it does “appear” that FEMA informed its employees not to assist houses in support of Trump, adding that it does not look like this was “an isolated incident.”
