Megyn Kelly hit out at the three female leaders of the Los Angeles Fire Department as wildfires continue to devastate Southern California.
Kelly, a former Fox News host, took special aim at Fire Chief Kristin Crowley, Training and Support Bureau Commander Jaime Brown and Deputy Chief in Equity and Human Resources Bureau Kristine Larson amid criticism that the city focused too much on diversity, equity and inclusion efforts to properly prepare forces to battle the fires.
‘I speak for all women – I believe speak for all females in Los Angeles – when I say: We want a strong man to rescue us. That’s what we want,’ she concluded.
Other city officials have also come under fire, namely Mayor Karen Bass, who slashed the fire department’s budget in the years before the massive fires erupted.
In fact, the LA Fire Department was left begging the city’s council to approve nearly $100million to replace its entire fleet just two months ago.
Yet a leaked memo last week revealed that Bass demanded the LAFD make an additional $49million budget cut, on top of the $17.6million cut.
