It has been noted the showers of boos and chants of “Trump!” recently greeted New York Attorney General Letitia James as she attempted to speak at a New York Fire Department promotion ceremony via Mediate.
A video clip of the event recently went viral amongst conservatives on X (formerly Twitter). Fox News also got ahold of video while in the middle of an interview with Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY).
Sandra Smith introduced the video: “This is New York Attorney General Letitia James. She was just speaking at an FDNY event here in New York City and she was booed and drowned out by those in the crowd. Listen.”
Fox then played the video clip that showed James walking up to a podium as boos rang out throughout the venue.
“Oh, come on, we’re in a house of God,” James said, but the jeers didn’t subside.
“First — simmer down!” James said.
James was heard saying “Thank you” to Fire Commissioner Laura Kavanaugh and Fire Chief John Hodgens as the video turned to loud cheers of “Trump, Trump, Trump!” As soon as Fox returned to Stefanik, the congressman denounced James’ fraud lawsuit against him as a “witch hunt” and applauded the hecklers for their support of the former president Donald Trump. Thanks to James’ lawsuit, Trump was forced to pay more than $400 million in damages and was prohibited from doing business in New York.
“Well, I have demanded that Tish James be disbarred,” Stefanik said, continuing:
She is unfit for the office of attorney general. She has not abided by the requirements of any attorney in New York state, let alone the attorney general. This has been a witch hunt against President Trump. She ran on illegally weaponizing her office against Joe Biden’s top political opponent.
It’s important you pointed out Sandra, yes, they were booing, but they were also saying, cheering “Trump, Trump, Trump,” because we understand that under President Trump we had safer streets, we didn’t have the illegal immigration crisis and the border crisis that Democrats’ policies, whether they’re Tish James or Joe Biden, have created…So, FDNY supports President Trump, New Yorkers support President Trump.
