FDNY Firefighters Who Booed Tyrant AG Letitia James To Be “Hunted Down”, Punished and Sent To “Reeducation”


I guess free speech isn’t allowed anymore, at least if you are a New York firefighter.

Earlier this week, members of the New York Fire Department made it clear that they are fed-up with tyrannical AG Letitia James, drowning out her speech during a recent promotion ceremony with pro-Trump chants.

In case you missed it, you can watch a clip from that moment here:

Newsweek reported on the overwhelming support of President Trump displayed by the FDNY at the event:

New York Attorney General Letitia James was booed and drowned out by chants of “Trump” on Thursday while delivering a speech at the New York Fire Department promotion ceremony.

While speaking at the ceremony, James is heard thanking FDNY Commissioner Laura Kavanagh just before numerous people in the crowd are heard chanting former President Donald Trump‘s name.

Upon beginning her speech, many in the crowd booed James, prompting her to say, “Come on, we’re in a house of God…simmer down.”

In a statement to Newsweek, FDNY Chief of Department John Hodgens said, “Today’s ceremony was about one thing: the accomplishments of the members being promoted. The members whose behavior distracted from that celebration were an embarrassment and not befitting of the world’s best fire department.”

Now, according to an email sent by FDNY Chief of Department John Hodges, an investigation is being conducted into those firefighters who protested the fascism of Leticia James and supported President Trump.

In the email, Hodges calls for the firefighters responsible to turn themselves in so “we don’t have to hunt them down.”

Here’s the email, so you can read for yourself:

This memo condemning the firefighters who protested Leticia James has also been circulating:

Note that last sentence: “They will come to HQ to be educated why their behavior is unacceptable.

Apparently, the New York firefighters who stood up to Letitia James are now being threatened with ‘re-education…’

This is crazy stuff, straight out of 1984.

The New York Post has more to say on the crusade against the firefighters, whose only crime was acting on their right to free speech…

FDNY Commissioner Laura Kavanagh is hunting down smoke-eaters and other staffers who mercilessly booed New York Attorney General Letitia James – and cheered in support of Donald Trump – during a department promotion ceremony this week, The Post has learned.

FDNY Chief of Department John Hodges fired off an email to other agency honchos warning a reckoning led by the department’s Bureau of Investigation and Trials was coming over the chorus of boos and chants of “Trump” that James received at Thursday’s event.

“BITS is investigating this, so they will figure out who the members are,” Hodges wrote FDNY chiefs Saturday in the letter obtained by The Post.

“I recommend they come forward. I have been told by the commissioner it will be better for them if they come forward and we don’t have to hunt them down,” he continued.

“The [deputy chiefs] shall direct the captain of the company to make a list of those who come forward and send it directly to [FDNY operations]. I realize members might not come forward but they should know that there is clear video of the entire incident and they will be contacted by BITS if they don’t,” he wrote.

A list of talking points for deputy chiefs doing the investigation obtained by The Post said: “We want the members to come forward. They will come to headquarters to be educated why their behavior is unacceptable.
