‘Haters gonna hate’: A top FEMA official defends his claim that he was teleported | CNN Politics

The top official in charge of the federal government’s disaster response has taken to social media to double down on his claim that he’s experienced “teleportation” – an experience he insists was real and connected to his religious beliefs – while also saying his remarks have been taken out of context.

Democratic Rep. Tim Kennedy described Phillips as “wildly unfit for his role as head of FEMA response and recovery,” citing “his violent statements about former President Biden” and “deeply troubling bigoted comments about immigrants.”

Kennedy added: “All of which, to me, makes him wholly disqualified to hold his position on its own — but only to be outdone by his claims of being teleported to a Waffle House.”

    Everyone has a bad alchohol (or something) expirence, its obvious to everyone that something like that happened and his brain (while on drugs) skipped a track. The emberassing part is that he insists on the sci-fi explanation, rather than the much more mundane normal waffle house expirence.

    Under any other administration we would be like “The head of FEMA used to be a party animal, funny”, but now its just more on the pile of unqualified BS, the issue is that this guy runs the dept that helps people on the worst days of their lives.
