What the hell?!
Are these residents aware of SMART LA 2028 and how their leaders sold them out?
Why must race always be thrown into the mix here? These people were homeowners, like all the others of different races, ethnicities, and genders. They lost their homes. We can only say we are sorry for their loss and wish them the best. But, then we have to ask, "Did you vote for Newsom and the Dems?" and the bigger question, "Will you vote for the Dems once again after all that's happened?"
Did y'all vote Democrat?
They all Vote for Kamala Harris
RACE ? People have lost lives & homes…devastating for all. We are ALL human beings.
Love & prayers🙏🏻💛
Do better News Nation.
Oh no. Wildfires are racist now.
Voting has consequences.
Some of these comments are horrible. Tells you a lot about "fellow" Americans. Shameful lot.
My thoughts are with all of the victims.
Lord have mercy
Prayers for the families
So. Everybody's stuff burnt down so why does one group have to act like they've been especially victimized? Everyone feels the loss. Their homes and neighborhoods were special to them too. And this lady's house isn't even damaged. 🙄
They vote for Newsom , Karen
