FDNY commissioner Laura Kavanagh jeered at NYC St. Patrick’s Day Parade after call to ‘hunt down’ NY AG Letitia James hecklers


FDNY commissioner Laura Kavanagh jeered at NYC St. Patrick’s Day Parade after call to ‘hunt down’ NY AG Letitia James hecklers 

New York City Fire Commissioner Laura Kavanagh was heckled at the city’s annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade after her department vowed to go after Trump-supporting FDNY members who booed New York Attorney General Letitia James at a promotion ceremony, video shows. “You suck,” one protester yelled at Kavanaugh as she marched past Trump Tower on 5th Avenue on Saturday, according to video obtained by Fox News. “Firefighters are the hunters,” he screamed. After she passed, city service members were seen waving and giving thumbs up to the loud group as they repeatedly chanted former President Donald Trump’s name. Some even stopped to shake their hands, video shows. The Post has reached out to FDNY for comment on the demonstrators. The angry outburst from the protesters comes after a chorus of smoke-eaters mercilessly hailed James with boos and cheered for the ex-president when she took the stage at a department promotion ceremony at the Christian Cultural Center in Brooklyn on March 7. In response, FDNY Chief of Department John Hodgens sent an email to agency heads warning that the department’s Bureau of Investigation and Trials [BITS] planned to “hunt down” those involved. “BITS is investigating this, so they will figure out who the members are,” Hodgens said in the email, 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.” Source
