FEMA Accused Of Hijacking Protective Gear For First Responders In Massachusetts Town

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Like a bad Santa, instead of delivering medical supplies, the Federal Emergency Management Agency has been accused again of hijacking desperately needed protective gear for first responders and health care workers — this time in a Massachusetts town.

Milford Fire Chief William Touhey Jr. accused the agency of commandeering 30,000 gowns as well as masks that the department had ordered. Some of the protective gear was to be used by first responders, and the rest were to go to the Milford Regional Medical Center, the Milford Daily News reported.

“At the last minute, we were notified” that the shipment “wouldn’t be coming,” Touhey told WCVB-TV in Boston. “The government had stepped in and taken possession.”

Touhey told the Daily News that he was informed he wouldn’t receive any of the gowns and has so far received only 500 of the 2,500 masks ordered.

Here we go again. WTF is going on?

[LiberalArkie]

1. My guess has always been that the stuff is for the 1%ers

[crickets]

3. Given there is no information on where it's going, not a bad guess.

It's theft regardless and it's time somebody pushed back.

[Girard442]

4. Also the Trump-supporting states.

[sheshe2]

10. For them to make a profit on.

Nothing more nothing less. It is all about money.

15. That or it's going to Trump's cronies.

Give more swag to those red states, and to private companies who will turn around and sell all that PPE at an insane markup.

16. What is Trump doing with these stolen supplies?

Republican seller has 'relationships with a lot of people.'

Republican fundraiser looks to cash in on coronavirus

The fundraiser, Mike Gula, didn’t specify his new line of work in the email. But in an interview, he said he’d started a new company selling medical equipment that’s been in short supply during the coronavirus pandemic.
----------
Asked how he’d managed to procure such equipment when there are shortages in hospitals across the country, Gula said, “I have relationships with a lot of people.”

2. Sending to putin????

Just a guess.

None of these stories of fed pitating states orders ever give details. Need investigative reporters to dig - quickly!

[Girard442]

5. I would imagine the people the Feds actually took the stuff from were told to zip the lips.

[SheltieLover]

8. Probably

But wouldn't you think someone would talk or leak? 😳

[rzemanfl]

6. "pirating?" n/t

[macwriter]

7. why doesn't this FED Piracy come up during Dump's daily pep rallies?

I read stories about this kind of behavior every day, but it is never covered in the news. Why? I think it's because the MSM is being led around by the nose with the outrageous statement of the day. "I am all powerful" "I will adjourn the congress" "I will open the country May 1" " it's all WHO's fault" etc.

PLease stop getting distracted. Ask about the piracy, ask about the post office being denied funding. Follow the money. FOCUS!

9. This!👆

Shitstain's empty head would explode! 🤯

[C_U_L8R]

11. Arrest them.

[MFGsunny]

12. This is way too much like piracy, though on land, by MF45 et cabal.

Wondering how long it will be before the American people will do a mutiny of their own against HumptyTrumpyInc.?????

[stillcool]

13. another one of those..

"I can't believe this is happening...what does it mean"

[love_katz]

14. Kicking for visibility

[2naSalit]

17. Extortion, phase one. ...nt

[Bayard]

18. Are they stealing these supplies from states/cities

That have already PAID for them?
