WASHINGTON — Two FEMA workers tasked with helping to keep the country safe from terrorism and nuclear meltdowns were booted Tuesday — for watching “racially charged” and other sick porn on the job, The Post has learned.
The lewd-loving employees were canned after an internal investigation by the Department of Homeland Security’s Insider Threat Operations Center, which flagged at least one of them for consuming “deviant pornography” — including bestiality, said DHS officials, whose department oversees the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
“These individuals had access to critical information and intelligence and were entrusted to safeguard Americans from emergencies—and instead they were consuming pornography,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem seethed in a statement.
“And in at least one case the pornography consumed was racially charged and involved bestiality,” Noem said.
Both rogue workers were stationed at FEMA’s isolated, sparsely populated Mount Weather Emergency Operations Center near Bluemont, Va., which is supposed to safeguard the homeland against national emergencies, terror attacks, and even nuclear disasters.
They used their FEMA-issued devices, including at least one computer, during the work day for their seamy antics, officials said.
“When disasters strike, FEMA cannot afford to be caught with its pants down,” a source noted to The Post of the scandal.
One of the employees was fascinated by “bestial fantasies” as well as “racism-infused sexual encounters,” while the other had “extensive interactions” with others on Reddit boards and shared sexually graphic content — some of which was “racially charged,” according to the DHS officials.
One of the horny hires also used his federally issued work device to type phrases into a chatbot website just so they could be read aloud in another accent.
“sit on your captains [expletive] as we cover each other in bees,” read one of the much tamer phrases entered into the chatbot.
The employee’s crass coworker meanwhile logged onto Reddit for twisted purposes at least 578 times over a 30-day period.
The ITOC investigation also found that as many as 47% of FEMA workers are regularly on social media platforms that also contain easily accessible pornographic content.
“Under President Trump’s leadership, we are cleaning house at FEMA to make this dysfunctional agency work for the American people the way that it was intended,” Noem said.
“For decades these bureaucrats engaged in every act imaginable except safeguarding the American people from natural disasters. That ends now.”
The FEMA firings come after the DHS chief already cleaned house of 24 IT workers at the agency after “massive” cybersecurity failures compromised government networks and put operations “at risk.”
