[I]n California, you might have recalled a news story from last year,” Jennings said on Wednesday’s CNN NewsNight . “There was some interest in the fire departments and the firefighters in California. And the interest was that there were too many White men who were firefighters. And we need to have a program in California to make sure we don’t have enough white men as firefighters.”
Jennings was referencing a 2024 report about a program in California intended to diversify the firefighting profession.
“We have DEI, we have budget cuts, and yet I’m wondering now if your house was burning down, how much do you care what color the firefighters are?” he added.
