They recommended thinning forests and removing dead underbrush. But California is run by environmental wackos.<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-241581\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/00-Rush-Morning-Update-2.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"199\" height=\"137\"><\/p>\n<p>Now California is experiencing the biggest fire in state history. Some 455 square miles have burned, and the fire is still growing. Over 11,000 buildings are at risk, and the fire may not be contained until September.<\/p>\n<p>The Drive-By Media blames global warming and climate change. They\u2019re blaming California residents for moving into previously undeveloped areas. They\u2019re ridiculing Trump\u2019s comments on the fire.<\/p>\n<p>But they don\u2019t criticize California\u2019s liberal environmental policies, which left 100 million dead trees as kindling, as fuel for these massive fires.<\/p>\n<p>This is political malpractice on a grand scale. California Democrats are more concerned with giving sanctuary to illegal aliens, and building billion-dollar high-speed trains to nowhere, and banning plastic straws, than protecting their residents from preventable risk.<\/p>\n<p>In almost any other state, they\u2019d be held accountable for it. But in California (clapping) they\u2019re applauded!
