Blame Game: You'll Never Guess Who Maxine Waters Says Is Responsible For L.A. Wildfires

Posted • January 12, 2025: The finger pointing has begun in the L.A. wildfires. Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom are blaming Trump, Republicans, Elon Musk, Trump, Republicans, climate change and Trump. Newsom is launching an investigation into the causes and missteps of the fire and this writer is going to mail him a mirror.
