This is LAFD Chief Kristin Crawley, 1st woman chief. MAGAs are labeling her as a DEI hire, ignoring her 22-year career which spans nearly every conceivable position in LAFD 🙄. Met her in 2018. Great leader in face of extreme conditions and challenges. Thank you Chief Crawley and LAFD!

Even the muthafcukin’ Cheneys tried to warn folk. Now we have a convicted rapist, accused child sex trafficker and a dude with a dead worm in his head leading the country. Are we great yet? 🤬
