Bill Maher says it’s ‘not wrong’ to blame WOKENESS for California’s disastrous fire response

Bill Maher says it’s “not wrong” to blame wokeness for California’s disastrous fire response.

He tore into Deputy Fire Chief Kristine Larson, who said, “You want to see somebody that responds to your house, your emergency, whether it’s a medical call or a fire call that looks like you.”

Maher fired back at this statement, saying, “which would sound kind of racist if a Southern sheriff said it.”

“Now, is wokeness the main reason for the fires? Of course not,” Maher said. “But let’s not pretend it hasn’t played a role. Our government’s unforced errors are straight out of the progressive playbook: questionable budget priorities, sky-high taxes that get you nothing, and a constant obsession with identity politics instead of fixing what’s broken.”

“Cali’s got commissions, agencies, bureaucrats, and even sign language interpreters who emote with their face,” Maher continued. “But where’s the common sense? Where’s the action?” he asked.

In his closing remark, Maher warned California that they better figure out how to actually govern “soon” because “wildfires in California are like boob jobs in a strip club: inevitable, and only getting bigger.”
