'FASCIST PIT BULL': FDNY Commissioner Blasted for Targeting Firefighters Who Booed Tish James

FDNY Commissioner Laura Kavanagh is receiving serious blowback after an FDNY memo leaked detailing repercussions for firefighters who booed NY AG Letitia James and chanted “Trump” during a recent event.

Kavanagh has been labeled a “fascist pit bull” for planning to go after the first responders.

From The Daily Mail:

Hodgens sent an email to department leaders warning of an impending investigation by the Bureau of Investigation and Trials (BITS) into the booing and ‘Trump’ chants directed at James.

Hodgens has urged those involved to come forward voluntarily to avoid being pursued by the department which is currently reviewing video footage of the entire ceremony.

‘BITS is investigating this, so they will figure out who the members are,’ Hodges wrote to FDNY chiefs on Saturday.

‘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 urged.

‘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.

The Uniformed Fire Officers Association also warned its members on Saturday of the plan noting how the department was in ‘possession of video footage of the event.’

‘As part of this discussion, questions may be asked to specific UFOA members over their actions or their recollections,’ the message said.

One FDNY firefighter blasted the chief’s response, calling her a “fascist pit bull.”

“It was a political stunt for the city to have the AG there. When it backfired, they sent their fascist pit bulls after guys for exercising their First Amendment rights,’ he said to the New York Post. ‘Most were off-duty and not in FDNY uniform,” he said.
