Head of FEMA defends claim that he was teleported

8 hours ago

Gregg Phillips, a senior FEMA official, defends his claims of experiencing real "teleportation" incidents tied to his religious beliefs and says his remarks were taken out of context.
Phillips described multiple teleportation episodes in podcasts, including being suddenly moved miles away to a Waffle House in Georgia and his vehicle being lifted and carried while driving.
He has a history of violent rhetoric, such as threatening former President Joe Biden and making alarming comments about migrants, raising concerns among lawmakers about his fitness for office.
Democratic representatives, including Bennie Thompson and Tim Kennedy, criticize Phillips' appointment, citing his conspiracy theories, violent statements, and teleportation claims as disqualifying.
Phillips links his experiences to biblical examples of supernatural events, sharing a passage from the Book of Acts to support his claims during a period he was undergoing cancer treatments.
FEMA and Phillips have not responded to requests for comment on why he missed a congressional hearing or to clarify how past reporting took his comments out of context.
