>Gregg Phillips, appointed in December to lead FEMA’s Office of Response and Recovery, rose to prominence not through his time as a federal emergency management professional but as a far-right activist who spread conspiracy theories about voter fraud and frequently used violent rhetoric toward political opponents.>Multiple FEMA officials speaking candidly to CNN expressed initial concerns about whether Phillips was up to the job. But after a few weeks, several of them told CNN that, to their surprise, Phillips’ hands-on involvement during the spate of storms had softened some of their doubts.>“Gregg Phillips is FEMA’s best hope at this moment,” one high-ranking FEMA official told CNN at the time. “I can’t believe I’m saying that.”>“I would like to punch that b*tch in the mouth right now,” Phillips said in January 2025 on a podcast, referring to former President Joe Biden. “He is a nasty, shitty, crappy human being, and he deserves to die. And I hope he does.”>“I was with my boys one time and I was telling them I was gonna go to Waffle House and get Waffle House. And I ended up at a Waffle House – this was in Georgia and I end up at a Waffle House like 50 miles away from where I was,” Phillips said in the January 2025 podcast episode.>“And they said, ‘where are you?’ and I said, ‘A Waffle House.’ And ‘a Waffle House where?’ And I said, ‘Waffle House in Rome, Georgia.’ And they said, ‘That’s not possible, you just left here a moment ago.’ But it was possible. It was real.”>“Teleporting is no fun,” Phillips added. “It’s no fun because you don’t really know what you’re doing. You don’t really understand it, it’s scary, but yet um – but so real. And you know it’s happening but you can’t do anything about it, and so you just go, you just go with the ride. And wow, what just an incredible adventure it all was.”
>“We’re importing an army of 10 million people that want you dead. It’s not a game. It’s not a joke.”/pol/ got no love for a based waffle house teleporter?
Why does Waffle House get all the action?
