Firefighting efforts in Southern California are being hampered by attacks from right-wing extremist groups, such as the Proud Boys. President-elect Donald Trump recently expressed his desire to "let the entire city burn down." MAGA terrorists, observing that firefighting personnel were making some progress in containing the fires, disabled at least 500 fire trucks by slashing their tires and blew up thousands of fire hydrants with improvised explosive devices.
Donald Trump, when asked for comment, said "I don't care what happens there, as long as the city is destroyed." When asked if he would declare the L.A. fire zone a disaster area and approve FEMA aid, he remarked, "In my administration, liberals aren't going to get any government handouts." He then waved the camera away and resumed receiving oral pleasure from Elon Musk.
Meanwhile, Fox News reported than California governor Gavin Newsom had been "Observed with gasoline cans and incendiary devices in Pacific Palisades just before the fire started." They also released "genuine, factual photos" showing Whoopie Goldberg setting fire to houses with a flamethrower.
