This particular MAGAt thought we should get rid of all sorts of Federal agencies - - including FEMA.

It was like having a discussion with a toddler. She either couldn't (or wouldn't) understand the problem of wanting to both get rid of FEMA and to praise them for opening a local field office to help the locals.
