Amid wildfires destroying large swaths of southern California one top L.A. firefighter is making news for all the wrong reasons.

Los Angeles Fire Department Assistant Chief Kristine Larson ignited fierce criticism when a self-promoting clip touting her ability to serve her community despite being a woman went viral.

The beginning of the P.R. video shows Larson explaining how fire and medical victims want to be rescued by people “who look like” them, presumptively, if not ignorantly, claiming it puts the victim more at “ease.”

But, the madness continues.

Larson went on to defend her stance as a woman firefighter by answering concerns she’s presumably been pressured about: “Is she strong enough to do this?…. You couldn’t carry my husband out of a fire,” she used as examples.

Larson’s stunning response to those concerns left the internet stunned.

“My response is,” Larson explained, “he got himself in the wrong place if I have to carry him out of a fire.”

WHAT.

So, according to Larson’s DEI “logic” taxpayers of a certain ethnicity should be served by firefighters of the same ethnicity.. but if you’re a man in a bad spot you’re on your own, it’s your fault.

Larson’s deranged hot take drew scores of criticism and backlash on X:

That explains A LOT.

The viral clip caught the attention of conservative podcast host Mary Katherine Ham who took particular issue with Larson’s comment about the hypothetical husband. “This is actually appalling. This is a public servant?” Ham asked, and went on to say that Larson’s statement alone was “disqualifying.”

Plenty of X users agreed:

So very true.
