MAGA Is Blaming DEI for the California Wildfires

When the forest fires were raging spun out of control in the Los Angeles area on Wednesdayconsuming more than 28,000 acres of land, destroying thousands of homes and buildings, including entire neighborhoods, and causing the deaths of at least five people, President-elect Donald Trump, his MAGA enablers, right-wing commentators, conservative news outlets and many others All right-wing conspirators blamed on climate change or eight months without rain, but on weixism.

Trump, who supports a major expansion of fossil fuel production and use, which scientific consensus directly linked to the growing prevalence of extreme weather events – used the unfolding tragedy to attack his longtime enemy, California Governor Gavin Newsom. He said Democrats’ approach to environmental issues was responsible for the Los Angeles Fire Department’s (LAFD) failure to contain what was already the worst fire in California history.

“Governor Gavin Newscum has refused to sign the water restoration declaration presented to him that would have allowed millions of gallons of water from excess rain and snowmelt from the north to flow daily into many parts of California, including areas that are currently burning. in an almost apocalyptic manner,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “He wanted to protect an essentially useless fish called smelt by giving it less water (it didn’t work!), but he didn’t care about the people of California.”

Governor’s press service made a statement Wednesday criticized Trump’s comment and pointed out that “there is no such document as a water restoration declaration – it is pure fiction.”

Democrats’ embrace of so-called woke politics has become a universal bogeyman on the right in recent years. As in previous generations, they blamed political correctness and affirmative action for various problems, following major events such as assassination attempt on Trump last July and Baltimore Bridge collapse Last March, they now routinely blame weixism and diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).

“Can we rename DEI to DIE since this is what appears to be happening to the people downstream of those who put woke virtue signaling far above competence?!?” Donald Trump Jr. wrote on Wednesday on Truth Social.

Trump confidant and owner of hundreds of billionaires Elon Musk, never alone avoid conspiracy theorieshas also used his platform to spread misinformation about who is to blame for the bushfires.

“DEI means people die,” Musk wrote in one post, while many others criticized LAFD chief Christine Crowley, a 22-year veteran of the department who was praised for saving nine homes from complete destruction during the 2018 Woolsey Fire with his wife.

Crowley is the first woman and first person from the LGBTQ community to serve as Los Angeles Fire Chief.

Musk shared a post by Chaya Raichik, the woman behind hate-filled anti-LGBTQ account LibsOfTikTok: “Meet Los Angeles Fire Chief Christine Crowley. She boasts of being the first female LGBTQ fire chief in the Los Angeles Fire Department. Promoting a DEI culture is her priority. Does it make you feel safer?” The post has been viewed more than 5 million times.
