FDNY Denies 'Hunting' Firefighters Who Booed Attorney General Letitia James

FDNY boss hunts down staffers who booed NY AG Letitia James, cheered for Trump at promotion ceremony    "The FDNY pushed back on a report that it was "hunting" down firefighters and staffers who booed New York Attorney General Letitia James and shouted, "Trump! Trump! Trump!" during a promotion ceremony last week, saying that it is simply looking into those who broke department regulations.

"Nobody is hunting anyone down," FDNY spokesman Jim Long told Fox News Digital in an email on Sunday morning. "We’re looking into those who clearly broke department regulations. It has nothing to do with politics. It’s about professionalism at an official event held in a house of worship."

The New York Post first reported that FDNY Chief of Department John Hodgens wrote in an email to department brass that the FDNY’s Bureau of Investigation and Trials was investigating the incident and "will figure out who those members are." . . .

UPDATE: "'Outnumbered' panelists weigh in after some members of the Fire Department of New York booed Attorney General Letita James during a promotion ceremony."

"If the FDNY tries to discipline the firefighters who used their first amendment rights to voice an opinion. The unions better defend their members, and bring lawsuits against the FDNY."
