The streets of America have seen dictators come and go, but the ones that are alive and well among us cannot hide from the wrath of the masses. At a New York City Fire Department promotion ceremony on Thursday, New York state Attorney General Letitia James was met with a hostile reception from a crowd that showed their support for former President Donald Trump, as reported by Newsweek.
A 19-second video was posted to the social media platform X depicting James standing behind a podium attempting to give a speech while being drowned out by chants of “Trump! Trump! Trump!” coming from the audience. The chants were loud and disruptive, making it difficult for James to deliver her speech. When the chanting subsided, they were replaced by boos and jeers directed at the attorney general.
In her speech, James praised the “first African-American woman chaplain” or something similar, but the audience was not having it. They continued to jeer and hurl insults at her, including the use of vulgar language. A second video from the event, also posted to X, showed the audience booing as James made her way to the podium. It was clear that the crowd had no respect for the attorney general, and she responded with a snarky comment and a condescending tone when asking the audience to “simmer down.”
James campaigned for the attorney general position on the promise to go after Trump’s New York business interests. She brought a politically-motivated fraud case against the former president, which had no victims and was seen as laughable by many. The case was presided over by a corrupt Democratic judge who had already decided against Trump before the trial even began. The judge ultimately handed down a tyrannical $355 million fine against the former president, which has caused alarm and outrage among Americans from all walks of life.

Despite the state of New York being known for its deep-blue political leanings, there have been signs that it may be warming to the former president. This was evident at an Ultimate Fighting Championship event at Madison Square Garden in November when Trump made a grand entrance with Tucker Carlson, Kid Rock, and UFC President Dana White. The lifelong New York real-estate tycoon has undergone a transformation into a man of the people, and this was evident in the crowd’s reaction to his appearance.

In conclusion, Letitia James can try to silence and shame the supporters of former President Trump, but her attempts are futile. New York has seen through her corrupt tactics and is showing signs of warming to the former president.
The boos, chants, and jeers directed at her at the promotion ceremony are a clear indication that she is not welcome by the people of New York. The cold reality is that she will never be able to control the narrative, and the people will never “simmer down” for her.
