Dem lawmaker criticized for posting video of McDonald's on fire, accusing corporations of causing wildfires.

Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., faced criticism from social media users for linking the Los Angeles-area wildfires to corporations accused of exacerbating climate change.

On Thursday afternoon, Jayapal caused controversy by posting a video of a McDonald's restaurant that was on fire.

Although corporations contributed to the current predicament, they too are unable to evade the catastrophic consequences of climate change.

Government incompetence and mismanagement, not climate change, are to blame for the devastation caused by the natural disaster, according to conservatives on X who countered Jayapal's assertion.

Robby Starbuck, a former GOP congressional candidate, questioned the congresswoman about climate change's failure to remove brush, plan for generator needs, ensure working fire hydrants, and fire firemen who refused the COVID vax.

End Wokeness" corrected the congresswoman by stating, "You misspelled Dem mismanagement.

Journalist Tom Elliott stated, "If corporations are equivalent to politicians, then you accurately described it."

Did corporations cause the wildfires in California and mismanage resources for first responders? No way.

Jim Hanson sarcastically replied, "I had no idea McDonald's didn't fill the reservoirs and cut the LAFD budget by $17M. Shame on them."

Rep. Tom Tiffany, R-Wis., joked, "A Dem lawmaker points fingers at Ronald McDonald, Grimace, and Hamburglar for sparking wildfires."

Stephen Miller, a contributing editor at The Spectator, wrote, "McDonald's should close all its restaurants and relocate all jobs from California."

Planet Chronicle Digital's request for comment from Rep. Jayapal was not immediately responded to.

Since Tuesday, when wildfires devastated Los Angeles County, killing ten people, destroying thousands of homes, and forcing more than 130,000 people to evacuate, there have been calls for the local government to be held accountable for the destruction.

Nick Bilton of Vanity Fair criticized Mayor Karen Bass for reducing the budget of the L.A. Fire Department and for traveling abroad during the wildfire.

Karen Bass cut fire department funding by $17+ million, despite being in Ghana when the fires started, even though she knew about them days before. This should have been treated like a CAT 5 Hurricane before it started, but instead it was treated by our current mayor as not important enough to even be here.

Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, owner of the Los Angeles Times, criticized the mayor regarding the LAFD budget cuts, although his figure was incorrect, as it was a $17 million reduction.

"The Mayor's decision to cut the LA Fire Department's budget by $23M despite the prevalence of fires in the city raises concerns about his competence."

The city government was criticized by Hollywood celebrities for their handling of the tragedy.

Sarah Michelle Gellar wrote on Instagram that the City of LA wants everyone to evacuate, but there is complete gridlock and no traffic cops on the roads to help.

In Los Angeles, Amber Rose, an influencer and model, questioned the low water pressure and ineffective fire hydrants on the same platform, exclaiming, "How TF is there low water pressure in Los Angeles???? WTF The fire hydrants barely work here??? This is insane!"
