The FEMA official who was just fired for telling workers to avoid homes impacted by the hurricanes in Florida if they had Trump signs says that it was not "isolated" and that FEMA workers were instructed to do it in the Carolinas too.

The question is, instructed by who?

'If you look at the record there is what you call a community trend... the political hostility that was encountered by my team, they just so happened to have the Trump campaign signage.'

'If we are noticing on, for example, Mary Street, and we're greeted with unwelcomed arms or people are coming out with guns blazing [or]screaming at us, then that's a street we need to avoid altogether.'

Washington said she did not even vote in this election because she was so busy helping clean up efforts and would never have let politics interfere with her work.

Instead, she said the directive was a matter of keeping her team safe.
