Marjorie Taylor Greene: I just confronted FEMA Administrator Criswell Criswell prioritized equity programs and politics over providing aid to Americans in need after historic natural disasters—simply because they supported President Trump. Meanwhile, FEMA had plenty of money and resources to care for every single illegal alien brought across our border by Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Secretary Mayorkas. It’s a shocking abuse of power and a slap in the face to hard-working, tax-paying Americans.
