A pair of Staten Island lawyers offered Tuesday to represent any Big Apple firefighter for free if they get jammed up for booing state Attorney General Letitia James at last week’s raucous promotion ceremony.

Lawyers Mark Fonte and Louis Gelormino said the firefighters had the right to voice their support for Donald Trump and to lambast James, who has been prosecuting him — as FDNY Commissioner Laura Kavanaugh threatens to discipline the jeering Bravest.

“If you are being ‘hunted down’ by FDNY brass for exercising your freedom of speech contact our office at once,” the men’s firm, F&G Legal Group, wrote in a letter to the Fire Department’s rank-and-file.


quote:

“We always answer the call. We stand ready to assist New York’s Bravest,” the letter said.

The firm has already sued the city over its COVID mandates and the location of some migrant shelters.

This time, they are rushing to the defense of firefighters after a cluster of smoke-eaters booed and jeered James during Thursday’s ceremony at the Christian Cultural Center in Brooklyn.

Headline chaser. I'm a first responder and while I can't speak to FDNY's specific policies, there are definitely things you can't do/say while in uniform or at official events. Boo Letitia, Trump, Biden, etc. all you want on your own time, but not while in uniform

Agree.

This isn’t about politics, it’s about the image of the fire fighters.

Same thing as soldiers. You don’t get political while in uniform.

I’m sorry but the firefighters knew better.

In this Orwellian/Rand world we are living in, Mark and Louis will be illegally investigated going back 30 years, electronically spied on via all forms of communication and yet our local leftists and TDS moderates will justify and defend it.

Congrats Commu-Fascists. When we turn this on you, are you going to be just as cool about it?

I would usually agree but this woman ran on getting trump.

That was her position to get elected. She’s the abuser here.

But DA is clearly a political position.

Firefighter is not.

Can they opt out of being props for the AG without repercussions?

AG cases shouldn't be politicized either, but here we are. Hypocrites don't deserve traditional respect and decorum. Especially ones who whine about getting what they dish out.

How about questioning why that fat cow was the keynote speaker at a Firefighter promotion ceremony? I mean what life experiences does she have that can motivate NYC Firefighters?

The FBI literally took a knee for BLM. You're still operating under the delusion that both sides want what is best for the country. The democrats are intentionally destroying the country and you still want us to follow pointless rules that the democrats don't. You are intentionally hamstringing yourself. That's a terrible strategy if you don't want to live in a democrat shithole.

As I said, I don't know FDNY's policies
If I had to guess, yes there were some people that "had" to be there. The rest who knows. Either way there are things you can and can't do in uniform, esp at a high profile public event like this
