Megyn Kelly blasts LA's woke fire chief for 'focusing on diversity' instead of planning for disaster

Megyn Kelly has accused Los Angeles' female fire chief of 'focusing on diversity' instead of planning for disaster.

The former Fox journalist slammed Kristin Crowley for prioritizing DEI training over preparing for wildfires.

Her comments come as the City of Angels has been engulfed a series of deadly blazes, which have so far killed two people and blitzed through more than 11,800 acres.

The wildfires are being fueled by Santa Ana winds of up to 60mph, which Kelly described as 'predictable'.

'In recent years LA's fire chief has made not filling the fire hydrants top priority. but diversity,' she fumed on The Megyn Kelly Show. 'Diversity is at least among the top priorities for the Department.'

She referenced an interview in which Crowley expressed her desire to boost the number of women and LGBTQ+ people in the fire service.

'Who gives a s**t if the fire chief is gay I'm sorry but who gives a flying fig about who she likes to sleep with can you fight the f**king fires madam that's the relevant question,' Kelly continued

'We don't care about your lady parts and we don't care who you want having access to them can you fight fires can you make sure there's water in the fire hydrants?'

She added that Crowley should have been more prepared given that Ventura County is currently experiencing a huge drought.

'I don't care who turns you on and you know why they have only a hundred women in a in a squad of 3,300?' Kelly asked.

'Women tend to be small smaller and not as strong and unless you lower the requirements to become a firefighter most women can't pass the test trust me.'

“DEI is really taking a beating this year. At every turn another DEI beneficiary is exposed as incompetent.”

The sad thing is that, even though the problem is blatant, the DEI in government will continue. Victims, especially in Democrat-run cities, will not change their minds or voting patterns. They’d rather lose their $20 million homes than appear to be non-woke.

Obama said that elections have consequences. He forgot to say that it applies to both political parties.

LA’s know-nothing lesbo fire chief made “diversity”....not filling the fire hydrants....... her top priority. Diversity and scamming taxpayers are among the top priorities for her Dept.

Crowley should have been more prepared for the fire storms given that Ventura County is currently experiencing a huge drought.



Chief Crowley’s plan is to boost the number of women and LGBTQ+ people in the fire service.

Women are smaller and do not have upper body strength so they stupidly lower the requirements to become a firefighter b/c most women can’t pass the test.

“Is #3 (aka Tank) also a woman?”

Obviously there is no physical fitness test, let alone mental, for the LAFD top brass. Disgusting in so many ways.

I listened to Megyn’s show live on Sirius XM yesterday & the quote in the article is brutal enough but the rage behind the quote was palpable in her voice. I can only imagine the cat fight if MK had been among reporters slinging questions at the mayor & fire chief at a presser. 😲🫣🤬

Who wrote that drek? I would've expected this article came from the Babylon Bee. More pathetically delusional than Dr Jill after pedoJoe's last debate with Pres Trump.

She, and her assistant chief are Harvard grads. The assistant has a degree in managing diverse organizations.

Not fire science.

LA has a massive, massive problem. Newsome is the root of it.

Between Harvard and Yale, we have incalculable damage to the US. Their endowment funds also reek havoc on companies too. They’re essentially hedge funds.

I know he's been going through some changes lately, but Val Kilmer is a lesbian?

And a fire chief?

The dreck-slinger. I think she’s queer, so her writing must be good, right?

Right...?

And, bonus...she lives in Oregon. Maybe I’ll run into her.
