The Spin

Democratic narrative

These devastating, unprecedented fires are caused by human-caused global warming, and it's time the US recognized that climate change is real. As the destruction threatens affluent and ordinary neighborhoods alike, this extraordinary crisis requires immediate federal intervention and support. And, as criminal opportunists and potential arsonists have exacerbated the situation, law enforcement must penalize those who exploit the disaster for personal or political gains.

Governor of CaliforniaAuLos Angeles times

Republican narrative

The Democratic Party leaders, including California Gov. Gavin Newsom, are squarely responsible for the infernos that have annihilated thousands of buildings around Los Angeles. These catastrophic wildfires have been exacerbated by Newsom's failure to provide water for fire hydrants and firefighting planes, including in the areas that are currently burning in a virtually apocalyptic way. A city is in ashes not because of climate change but because of the Democrats' poor fire management.
