Celebrities turn on Dems, blast LA mayor for fire response: ‘Ruined our state’

New York Post

Big Hollywood names have started to turn on Los Angeles’ Democratic leadership, including Mayor Karen Bass, over the botched response to the wildfires raging across the ritzy, celeb-filled Pacific Palisades and surrounding areas.

"Actress Sarah Michelle Gellar led the charge, criticizing the Democratic leadership on Instagram for failing to direct the tens of thousands of Southern California residents trying to flee as the fires burned uncontained Wednesday.

"“City of LA you want everyone to evacuate yet you have complete gridlock and not one traffic cop on the roads helping,” Gellar wrote, tagging Bass and the city of Los Angeles.

"The Palisades Fire has been ravaging the celebrity-dotted neighborhood since Tuesday and has burned a horrifying 17,234 acres (27 square miles) over the past 36 hours.

"Actor James Woods, who lost his home in the Palisades Fire, vented on X that the wildfires weren’t caused by “climate change” but by “liberal idiots like Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass.”

" 'One doesn’t understand the first thing about fire management and the other can’t fill the water reservoirs,” he added.

"In a separate post, Woods wrote, “I took this last night from our beautiful little home in the Palisades. Now all the fire alarms are going off at once remotely. It tests your soul, losing everything at once, I must say.” . . .
