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.'

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

Crowley did more than just say it in an interview. She posted it directly to her city biography page.

From the website of Los Angeles Fire Chief Kristin M. Crowley:

Kristin M. Crowley is the 19th Fire Chief of the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD). With her wife and children by her side, Chief Crowley took the oath of office on March 25, 2022 – becoming the first female and LGBTQ Fire Chief in the LAFD...

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.

She sounds like the Police Chief of New Orleans.

It sounds like fire prevention took a back seat to the leftist agenda.
