David Richardson resigned after only a brief stint leading the Federal Emergency Management Agency amid a furor over his responsiveness, especially during the catastrophic flooding in Texas during the summer that swept away a children’s camp and killed more than 130 people.
The Trump administration has been vocal about wanting to dismantle FEMA and the Washington Post was first to report on Monday that Richardson had handed in his resignation after six months doing the job.
He is a former US Marine Corps officer and becomes the second Fema head to leave or be fired since May. Richardson has been accused of keeping a low profile during the deadly Texas flash floods in July. He had already baffled staff in June when he said he was unaware the country had a hurricane season.
Oh… it was this guy. Hahaha
@MicroWave What took him so long? And he took about $150,000 of our tax dollars with him for doing nothing.
