Summary

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) argued that California does not deserve federal aid for its deadly Los Angeles wildfires unless the state adopts changes.

In a Newsmax interview, Tuberville criticized California leadership, falsely attributing wildfire mismanagement to “inner-city woke policies.”

While he expressed willingness to support some funding, he insisted it be conditional on reforms.

The wildfires have killed 24 people and destroyed thousands of homes, per the Associated Press, intensifying debates on state accountability and federal disaster relief.

    Its not like they need to exterminate Gaza or fight ruzzia. Its just a little fire that California did not prepare for.

    Geez. But if their hometown was burning, then yeah sure. Billions.

    As a tax payer I can only say “WTF”. I got no power to route my money to things I care about. Like climate change.
