Watters Blames “The Indians” For Los Angeles Wildfires

“It gets worse. Gavin’s been tearing down dams. Why? Because the Indians wanted some of the river back so they could catch salmon. Gavin didn’t just knock down one dam for the Indians, he knocked down all four. And these dams were a go-to source for firefighters to pull water from to fight fires up north. Gavin’s literally tearing down western civilization for fish and Indians. Nothing against the Indians, I love the Indians. But really?” – Jesse Watters, last night.

LA County Public Works Director Mark Pestrella addresses reports of firefighters running out of water to combat the wildfires:

Fire hydrants in Pacific Palisades ‘ran dry’ during last night’s catastrophic fire.

Today, city officials blame ‘tremendous demand’ — and insist 114 tanks in DWP’s infrastructure were fully filled before yesterday’s fires.
