As wildfires rage on in Los Angeles, California, and firefighters are unable to subdue the blazes, attention has turned to Los Angeles City’s lesbian DEI Fire Chief Kristin Crowley and her prioritization of hiring women and gays instead of focusing on public safety.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, evacuations were underway Tuesday as a massive wildfire raged out of control and engulfed homes in Pacific Palisades, California.
As residents fled and abandoned their homes and cars, and the fire became more untamable, firefighters were struggling with a loss of water pressure on hydrants and were unable to do anything.
Several massive fires are currently burning in Los Angeles County: Pacific Palisades, Eaton, Bert, Sylmar, Tamarack, and King.
Now, many are pointing out the fact that the first female and lesbian LAFD Chief was unprepared for the incident, likely due to her focus on fostering a culture of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).
Here’s a clip of her explaining her vision for the department. “It’s never enough,” she said of the number of female and LGBTQ firefighters she wants in the department:
According to Crowley’s biography on the Los Angeles Fire Department’s webpage, Crowley, the first female and LGBTQ Fire Chief, is responsible for “protecting four million people in Los Angeles.” She has also been “instrumental” in the Department’s youth development program, where she trained over 1,000 students from local high schools and ostensibly brainwashed them with her DEI propaganda.
“Creating, supporting, and promoting a culture that values diversity, inclusion, and equity while striving to meet and exceed the expectations of the communities are Chief Crowley’s priorities, and she is grateful for the opportunity to serve the City of Los Angeles,” Crowley’s bio reads.
Newsmax host Todd Starnes laid it all out in an X post:
The LAFD Chief earned national acclaim as a pioneer for diversity within the firefighting community.
Kristin Crowley is the first woman and first LGBT person to lead the LAFD. Those were among the top qualifications Los Angeles wanted in their fire chief.
Chief Crowley made diversity, equity and inclusion the fire department’s top priority since 2022.
Some might say the results have been beyond catastrophic.

This is what happens when the left puts DEI over competence and safety.
