Summary
As California battles its worst wildfire, consuming 28,000 acres and killing five, MAGA figures, including Trump and Elon Musk, blame DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion) initiatives instead of climate change.
Trump attacked Gov. Gavin Newsom over false claims about water policies, while right-wing media targeted Kristin Crowley, LA’s first LGBTQ fire chief, for prioritizing DEI.
Musk amplified conspiracy theories, and MAGA commentators linked DEI to the state’s firefighting challenges.
Critics dismissed these claims, citing unprecedented fire strain, climate change, and misinformation.
To be fair, there are a lot of people who somehow find a way to blame Trump for every bad thing.
Blaming Trump for the few things that aren’t his fault vs HIM GETTING AWAY WITH TREASON seems to be the best trade we’ll get.
Trump is responsible for a lot of bad things.
Hard to argue against facts and truth, yet MAGA finds a way.
