Conservatives have attempted to link a DEI program in California to the efforts of firefighters to contain the blaze, with some criticizing the record of Los Angeles Fire Chief Kristin M. Crowley, the first woman and first LGBTQ+ person to lead the department.
On Thursday, Jan. 9, Tarlov defended Crowley, a public servant for over two decades, according to The Huffington Post.
“Twenty-four-year vet, paramedic, engineer, fire inspector, captain, battalion chief, fire marshal, deputy chief.”
“No, I’m not proving your point, she is qualified for that job,” Tarlov argued.
Critics including Elon Musk and Megyn Kelly have blamed the fire department’s DEI initiative for the rapidly spreading wildfires, including a post from Musk on Wednesday night that “DEI means people DIE.”
On CNN, Rep. Jasmine Crockett told conservative political commentator Scott Jennings that she was “so tired” of DEI being blamed and to “stop acting as if white men are the only ones capable.” CNN anchor Abby Phillip also challenged Jennings, giving the LAFD credit for their efforts to fight a “historic fire.”
