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.
Donald Trump was on TV bragging about “owning the tallest building in downtown Manhattan now” while 343 of your colleagues were lying dead under the rubble of the twin towers on the morning of 9/11. He does not give a single shit about any of you.
I doubt most of those ones chanting were even there or were more than children when this all happened. They never got to feel the pain, but they’ve enjoyed the hero worship that NY put on firefighters after 9/11.
Firefighters are some of the biggest assholes I’ve ever met.
Better than the police by a long shot in my experience.
I don’t know… Most firefighters I’ve met were decent. And you don’t hear many songs titled “fuck the fire department”.
There’s no pattern of firefighters getting away with shooting anyone. Hell, even with the police having that pattern, it took a long-ass time for them to lose their “hero” status.
Trump was a Democrat back then, but his personality has never changed. As you said, he does not give a shit about anyone. Left or right politics, it’s just who he is.
Trump has never “been” anything. He appears as what he thinks benefits him the most. He wanted to rub elbows with the city’s elite, and that meant pretending to be a Democrat.
