BREAKING: DHS spox calls out CNN for “bad journalism”

CNN is trying to scandalize the Trump administration for cutting FEMA disaster staffers during the beginning of this new years.

Here’s the beginning of their article. Notice how they use words like ‘abruptly’ and ‘suddenly’ and ‘beyond cruel’ to really try and get people all amped up over this:

Exclusive: DHS begins slashing FEMA disaster response staff as 2026 begins

The Trump administration is abruptly cutting dozens of staff who are at the forefront of disaster response and recovery at the Federal Emergency Management Agency this week, according to internal emails obtained by CNN and sources familiar with the plan.

On New Year’s Eve, some employees received emails saying their positions “would not be renewed” and “therefore, your services will no longer be needed” after their contracts expire in the first days of January.

The cuts target FEMA’s Cadre of On-Call Response and Recovery (CORE) teams, which form the backbone of the agency’s operations during and after a disaster, and could be just the beginning of a larger effort by Secretary Kristi Noem and the Department of Homeland Security to shrink FEMA, potentially axing thousands of workers in the coming months who deploy during hurricanes, wildfires and other national emergencies.

According to two sources with knowledge of the terminations, which suddenly ousted roughly 50 CORE staff, the decision came from FEMA’s new acting chief Karen Evans — who was elevated to the role by DHS leadership after the embattled previous agency head resigned.

The notices stunned employees, who learned they would be let go within days. “Beyond cruel to be treated in such a way,” one of the workers said.

 
But DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McGlaughlin calls this “bad journalism” and explains that this is very normal and routine:

This is just bad journalism. As we told @CNN, this is a routine staff adjustment of 50 staff out of 8000.

The CORE program consists of term-limited positions that are designed to fluctuate based on disaster activity, operational need, and available funding.

The official DHS account also responded with fire, saying:

It’s unbelievable what counts as “journalism” these days. This is a routine staff adjustment of 50 staff out of 8000.

The CORE program consists of term-limited positions that are designed to fluctuate based on disaster activity, operational need, and available funding.

This inept “journalist” likely has splinters in his hand from scraping the bottom of the barrel with this swill.

Garbage media at it again…like always.
