NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – Gov. Bill Lee announced that he and Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti will be investigating if Tennesseans were discriminated against during relief work by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Lee and Skrmetti’s investigation comes after FEMA said one of its employees advised her disaster relief team to avoid homes with signs supporting President-elect Donald Trump in Florida after Hurricane Milton.

A FEMA spokesperson said the agency is “deeply disturbed by this employee’s actions,” and the incident is under investigation. The agency did not identify the employee but said she had been removed from her role.

“FEMA exists to serve all Americans, and these actions have eroded the people’s trust by failing to deliver desperately needed relief to all survivors,” Lee said. “Americans should never have the government weaponized against them. I am working with @AGTennessee to seek answers & determine if Tennesseans were discriminated against, and look forward to President Trump taking swift action to remove partisan bureaucrats when he takes office.”
