Firefighters booed New York attorney general who sued Trump for fraud. Officials are investigating - Lemmy.World

NEW YORK (AP) — A union representing New York City firefighters is raising concerns about possible disciplinary action against its members after state Attorney General Letitia James was booed and a pro-Donald Trump chant broke out during a fire department ceremony last week. The Democrat, whose office won a $355 million penalty against the Republican former president for lying about his wealth last month, faced a chorus of jeers as she addressed a department promotions ceremony Thursday in Brooklyn.

Disclaimer: I am not, nor will I ever be a T supporter. I’d rather not even spell the rest of the name.

However, I have to agree with the union here. If these ceremonies tend to have a certain carnivalesque nature, can these firefighters be charged with more than bad taste?

It’d be a different story if these people were standing and chanting on the ashes of somebody’s newly ex-residense.

This is the State Attorney General. You respect the position if not the person. This is 100% unacceptable behavior.

Ah yes, “respect my authority and ignore the first amendment or I’ll ‘investigate’ you and put you in jail”… Where have I heard that before…?

No. It’s Sociology 101.
