"Recently in the mountain region, there have been threats made against them," Ashe County Sheriff Phil Howell posted on Facebook regarding the alleged threats against FEMA employees.

      Not so sure. Didn't all the "FEMA camps" conspiracy theories start after Katrina under Bush?

        I think so, but they went mainsteam under Obama. The Katrina clean up efforts were still going on well into 2010, well after midterms.

        Early FEMA conspiracies were mostly circulated among sovereign citizen types. By Obama, they were being shared by Fox News and Breitbart.
