A FEMA official has been removed from the agency due to controversy surrounding his past comments. The official, who was appointed to a leadership position in December, had made remarks that raised scrutiny.

One of the comments in question involved a claim of teleporting to a Waffle House. This and other bizarre statements led to his ousting from the agency, according to sources.

Further details on the situation are available from CNN, which reported on the official's removal from FEMA, citing four sources familiar with the matter.
