Arrr, me hearties be givin' a good ol' boo and chantin' "Trump!" at 'tis lass Letitia James durin' a promotion ceremony last week. 'Twas a scandalous wave o' controversy that swept the land, me thinks. Aye, 'twas quite the spectacle, says I!
In a scolding memo issued by the New York City Fire Department (FDNY), firefighters were warned for booing New York Attorney General Letitia James and cheering for former President Trump at a promotion ceremony. The FDNY emphasized that such behavior brought discredit to the department and reminded firefighters not to express their political views while on duty. The department's Bureau of Investigations and Trials (BITS) is reviewing video footage to identify those involved in the incident.The controversy arose during a ceremony honoring the first Black female chaplain of the FDNY, where booing and chants of "Trump" disrupted the event. Attorney General James, who led a civil fraud case against Trump, urged the rowdy crowd to calm down and thanked them for getting it out of their system.FDNY Chief of Department John Hodges apologized to James and emphasized the importance of professionalism at official events. Commissioner Laura Kavanagh also apologized to the venue for the incident, as the department risked losing the cultural center as a venue due to the behavior displayed.The department's focus is on upholding professionalism and enforcing department regulations, rather than engaging in political disputes.
