During an FDNY ceremony , Attorney General Letitia James makes a speech, and the crowd chants
" TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP "

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.

An FDNY retiree fumed at the department’s heavy-handed response.

“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. “Most were off-duty and not in FDNY uniform.”

Famed constitutional and criminal law attorney Alan Dershowitz blasted the FDNY’s hunt down.

“Firefighters have an absolute constitutional right to boo the attorney general, and the government has no power to punish them for it,” Dershowitz told The Post. “So efforts to get the names of the booers is an effort by the government to chill free speech and is unconstitutional.”

The Uniformed Fire Officers Association sent out a message to its members on Saturday warning them of the directive and that the department is 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.

The union advised members to follow FDNY regulations but to contact the UFOA for legal representation if they feel they are the subject of an investigation.

On Thursday, the crowd – — made up of the families of captains, battalion chiefs and civilians up for promotion, as well as the firefighters who work beside them — erupted in loud jeers as James walked onto the podium at the Christian Cultural Center’s Brooklyn Campus in Starrett City, raucous video shows.

“Oh, come on. We’re in a house of God. First, simmer down,” said James, attempting to pacify the crowd. She added, “Thank you for getting it out of your system.”

As James continued her speech, the booing swiftly turned to chants in support of former President Donald Trump.

“Trump! Trump! Trump! Trump!” the crowd bellowed.

The FDNY would not explain why it is going after those who heckled James and cheered Trump, or explain the possible violations.

“The department is conducting a review of the ceremony,” said spokesman Jim Long.

James was invited to speak at the event to honor her friend, The Rev. Pamela Holmes, who was being sworn in as the department’s second female chaplain, and the first Black woman to hold that title.

Last month, James’ office won a $454 million civil fraud judgment against Trump, which found him guilty of inflating his wealth by billions to dupe banks and investors into helping him grow his real estate empire.

An appeals court has allowed Trump to stay at the helm of the family company and apply for loans from Empire State banks to help post the bond.

But James has already vowed to ask a judge to seize Trump’s assets — including some of his prized Big Apple properties — if he fails to get the judgment stayed, and doesn’t cough up what he owes.

Of course--if they were chanting AOC it would be AOK.

[SaltyDog920]

Lefties are the actual fascists.

[JayJ350]

So what's the problem? People aren't allowed to like or support politicians that aren't democrats? Nobody is allowed to boo a democrat or something?

[gwg77]

They will be punished and reeducated

[JayJ350]

They will be punished and reeducated

I'm sure they'd send the same letter to anyone who heckles Trump lol

Oh wait, that's (D)ifferent!

[Fishman15]

They will be punished and reeducated

The last line about getting re-educated. I'd turn in my badge if I was one they were after. That fat ruthless bitch can just **** right off. She brought on the fireman's behavior by her own behavior. Do these fcks ever take responsibility for their own actions?

They are democrats so the answer for that is a firm NO.

Sounds perfectly reasonable.

[JayJ350]

Sounds perfectly reasonable.

If that's the case, why so selective? Lets not pretend like they would have the same reaction if they did this to a republican.

[Fang2]

Hey leticia James...go fuk yourself

[NYPat]

If that's the case, why so selective? Lets not pretend like they would have the same reaction if they did this to a republican.

It's explained in the letter.. got any proof for your claim or is this just more rhetoric you spew every time you post?

[BigDeeps01]

Who gives a flying fukk holy chit lmao

[Bushmaster]

Lefties are the actual fascists.

And they don't give AF.

Wait and see, misc libs will support this 100%.

Edit: See what I mean?

Sounds perfectly reasonable.

Stay classy libs.

[Polaris]

And they don't give AF.

Wait and see, misc libs will support this 100%.

Of course, and then they would screech hysterically if a conservative did it to a group of lefties.

[FelixTheCat1919]

Liberals are celebrating all of this.

Liberals support liberal political figures abusing the criminal justice system in order to further their political agendas.

[JayJ350]

It's explained in the letter.. got any proof for your claim or is this just more rhetoric you spew every time you post?

Bruh, the proof is in how your side routinely acts on the regular.

[SillieBazzillie]

Sounds perfectly reasonable.

That is a perfectly reasonable letter. Despite you cuck cultist thinking that you can shout out whatever nonsense you want any time you want, many workplaces want a sense of professionalism and decorum, you know the things that separate us, liberals, from the animals, cultist.

But then few cultist actually work in professional settings so it's not surprising you deplorables have no clue how to act in certain situations. To you morons, professionalism usually means putting the seat up in your worksite porta potty.

LMFAO

[NYPat]

Bruh, the proof is in how your side routinely acts on the regular.

Your post history is right there to search. You contribute nothing to any conversation, you just spew anti-liberal nonsense.

Yep. If you dare speak out and Kim Jung Un I mean Democrats, off to the gulag.

[Fishman15]

[SillieBazzillie]

"Protesting is unacceptable"

Pat: Sounds reasonable

That's not what this was. This was just being disrespectful during a ceremony that was non-political. They want to protest? Do it on their private time off work.

[leafs43]

<Hires a kunt that bases her entire career on being political to give a speech>

[Dave22reborn]

So, Sillie, Patty, enlighten us what should have happened to all the NYPD officers that turned their back on the mayor, during his speech at a funeral?

NYPD officers again turn backs on mayor at cop's funeral
