James Woods Calls Out LA Fire Chief Prioritizing DEI: ‘She Had Too Much on Her Plate Promoting Diversity’
Breitbart ^ | 01/07/2025 | David Ng

Actor James Woods joined the growing chorus of public criticism against Los Angeles Fire Department Chief Kristin Crowley for her handling of the out-of-control wildfires in Pacific Palisades and other portions of the county, noting her stated priority of promoting DEI within the department.

James Woods, who said he has evacuated his home, called out Crowley in a series of X posts.

“Refilling the water reservoirs would have been a welcome priority, too, but I guess she had too much on her plate promoting diversity,” the actor wrote.He included a screenshot of Crowley’s bio on the LAFD’s official site that states her priority for “creating, supporting, and promoting a culture of diversity, inclusion, and equity” — or DEI.

Crowley was heralded by the left as the department’s first LGBT and female chief in 2022.

James Woods @RealJamesWoods · Follow Priorities stated in her bio below.

Refilling the water reservoirs would have been a welcome priority, too, but I guess she had too much on her plate promoting diversity.

Woods also blasted the left’s knee-jerk attempt to blame California’s persistent wildfires on climate change, noting that the Democrat-controlled state is being mismanaged especially when it comes to water reservoirs.

Former L.A. mayoral candidate Rick Caruso claimed Wednesday that the Pacific Palisades area has no water coming out of its hydrants, accusing the local government of mismanaging resources like a “third-world country.”

If diversity, inclusion, and equity could put out fires, they could reduce the temperature of the sun enough to stop global warming. That was the plan, but Trump ruined everything by getting elected.

chorus of public criticism against LA lesbo Fire Chief Kristin Crowley.

“Refilling water reservoirs is the job for which taxpayers pay her, but she biasedly promoted diversity.”

Electing Lesbians and homos never was a good idea.

This harassment campaign is interesting. If I had
time, I would figure out who started it.

Readers added context She did. Karen Piper posted just one day ago: “James Woods’ house is burning down. It’s karma callings.”

She was later evacuated.

President wanna-be Gov Newsome blasted for putting green policies over endangered taxpayers.

According to the FOX Forecast Center, the heavy storms plaguing California
since late Dec 2022 brought an estimated 32 trillion gallons of rainwater to the state.

The U.S. Geological Survey suggests that this could supply the state’s agricultural, industrial, and residential needs for at least a decade........ if it were stored in reservoirs.

But only about 5-6 % of the rainwater was captured, with about 95% getting flushed out to sea.

This is because of Newsome’s crazy environmental restrictions
to protect endangered Delta smelt.....a fish species in Cali’s Central Valley.

This Fire Chief makes $650,000.

0% containment.

No water pressure.

Garden hoses from neighbors filling up fire truck tanks.

She gets over $50,000 a month for those “results.”

But you have to admit their technique must work. SoCal’s sea waters haven’t had a real good sea conflagration for more than a month.

How does blaming “climate change” excuse the powers that be from preparing for the obvious effects of such?
It’s as if one is sitting on a black powder keg and striking matches and blaming the tobacco industry for the explosion that’s eventually to happen!

The chief should’ve just found a position in HR with other like-minded airy-fairy freaks.

When your workforce is 97% male and requires intense physical labor, your first priority shouldn’t be a female leader.

If, on the other hand, you believe that the cause of the lack of female representation is cultural, not physical, choosing a Lesbian is not how you fix that culture.

Butch women don’t lack any “toxic masculinity,” to the limited extent that that’s a real thing, but instead reinforce any stereotypes about the incompatibility of femininity and the workforce, if indeed there is any merely cultural causes for that incompatibility.

If someone’s LGBTQ status is a defining trait, her ascent probably has almost nothing to do with the concerns of her workforce, and could even create an antagonism based not on discrimination against them, but on their political activism being unhelpful to their workforce.
