One of the very few positive things to come out of the horrific wildfires in Los Angeles is how it is opening up the eyes of Hollywood liberals to just how dysfunctional and incompetent the Democratic Party is at all levels of government. For example, reality television star Khloe Kardashian recently tore into L.A. Mayor Karen Bass, a Democrat, for her failure to have the city prepared for such a disaster calling her a “joke” due to accusations that she failed to properly fund the L.A. Fire Department.
Kardashian, according to Breitbart News, posted a screenshot of a television interview featuring LAFD Chief Kristin Crowley who officially confirmed the budget was slashed and led to the department being ill equipped to respond to the wildfires, to her Instagram Stories.
“I stand by YOU Chief Crowley!!!! You spoke the truth and you had tears in your eyes because I can tell you didn’t even want to say that but it was THE TRUTH!!!!” Kardashian said in the post. “Thank you for being honest,” she then stated. “Mayor Bass you are a joke!!!!”
When you get completely destroyed by a Kardashian, you know you have completely screwed up in the worst kind of way. Khloe then posted up a tribute to local firefighters, referring to them as heroes. And given everything they’ve been doing to try and preserve life and property during this time, especially with fewer resources available to them than usual, they truly deserve the title.
A growing number of Hollywood celebrities have called out California leaders for their multiple failures in the days since the fires broke out around L.A. County, with some calling for resignations. They include Mel Gibson, James Woods, Zachary Levi, Sara Foster, Dean Cain, Justine Bateman, and Adam Corolla. Their criticism comes as many in the mainstream news media have sought to protect Democrats by painting such criticism as the politicization of the unfolding catastrophe. They are also rolling out climate change talking points, claiming the disaster was a result of global warming. But with the destruction already hitting record levels, state and local leaders are having an increasingly difficult time avoiding responsibility.
“As Breitbart News reported, L.A. under Bass’s leadership cut funding to the fire department in recent months. The final budget that was approved by the L.A. City Council included $17.5 million in cuts to the department,” the report said.
Left-wing incompetence is what is responsible for these fires. The state of California and the city of Los Angeles were provided plenty of time to make choices that would have given them the tools necessary to either better respond to or prevent altogether, these destructive and deadly fires. Shame on you all.
