WJTV: Congressman Gregg Harper Upset With FEMA Over T-Shirt Flap (Video)

WJTV Reports:

Mississippi’s 3rd District Congressman is demanding answers from FEMA. More than 300 people spend their Saturday volunteering to help Mississippi tornado victims. A FEMA photographer showed up to take pictures but asked a church group to change their t-shirts. The reason, the shirts included the Salvation Army logo and the photographer told volunteers faith-based organizations could not be profiled. The church volunteers were members of Crossgate Baptist Church in Brandon, Mississippi. Harper is a member of Crossgates Baptist Church.

  1. Hmmmmm..seems to me FEMA had no objections to that faith-based free help so why should they have objected to their faith based shirts

  2. As a person who knows, Channel 12 is asking the right questions.... just WHO gives the photographers their orders.... don't stop asking those questions you will get the road right up to the top.... don't stop at the Local FEMA level, he gets orders as well.
