In a significant victory for Trump’s America First agenda, Mary Cohen, the former Chief Financial Officer of the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA), was fired for allegedly misusing taxpayer funds. Prominent figures, such as President Trump and Vice President JD Vance, have been highly critical of FEMA and long called for accountability.
For context, in late 2024, a massive hurricane hit the mountains of North Carolina. After thousands of people lost their homes, many were expecting FEMA to organize the relief efforts. However, the response was abysmal, and many critics pointed to how much money was spent on foreigners and illegal immigrants instead of American taxpayers.
Announcing the news, a prominent conservative influencer posted on X on February 11, 2025. The post noted, “BREAKING: This is FEMA CFO, Mary Coman. She was just fired for misuse of taxpayer funds for illegal immigrants. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻”
In the same post, the conservative posted a video of Cohen listing out the values of FEMA, which she failed to enact. Ironically, she stated, “Our job is to ensure the best use of the resources entrusted to us. And every one of you has an important part in that job. I want to emphasize the importance of our mission and the part we play in it.”
Showing off her lack of self-awareness, she added, “This allows our agency to be expeditionary and affords our employees opportunities for personal and professional growth, as well as ensures that FEMA is ready to respond when the nation calls on us to deliver our mission.”
Slamming the woke bureaucrat, President Trump took to Truth Social to say, “FEMA spent tens of millions of dollars in Democrat areas, disobeying orders, but left the people of North Carolina high and dry. It is now under review and investigation. THE BIDEN RUN FEMA HAS BEEN A DISASTER.”
Continuing the epic demolition, Trump declared, “FEMA SHOULD BE TERMINATED!! IT HAS BEEN SLOW AND TOTALLY INEFFECTIVE. INDIVIDUAL STATES SHOULD HANDLE STORMS, ETC., AS THEY COME. BIG SAVINGS, FAR MORE EFFICIENT!!!”

As we reported, Vance harshly criticized FEMA in a recent interaction with a CBS reporter. When the mainstream journalist asked for evidence of FEMA’s bias, the VP answered, “Most importantly, if you put people on the task of dealing with a massive influx of illegal immigration. They’re going to be distracted from doing their core job of keeping Americans Safe in response to a disaster.”
Still not done with the epic beat down, Vance stated, “Each of us. This is true of me, it’s true of everybody in the world. We only got so much time to focus, and there’s only so much time in the day. And if you take FEMA and you turn it into an agency that resettles illegal immigrants, that’s going to take their focus away from keeping people safe after a hurricane, that’s basic human reality, and I think there’s no way around it.”

Concluding the demolition of the woke journalist, Vance added, “Now, what the fact checkers say, and we’ll, sort of, you know, we’ll try to be as fair to the other side as possible, my friends, what the fact checkers will say is, well, there’s a bucket of money that goes to illegal immigrants, and that’s a different bucket of money that goes to disaster relief. Well, I’m sure the Biden administration has never moved money from one bucket to the other.”
