Zinke Drops Truth Bomb Regarding Wildfires, Backing up POTUS
With the California wildfires continuing to burn out of control, a great deal of attention is being shown to the Golden State this month…not all of it prim and proper, however.
Some of this animosity has been spurned by a tweet from President Trump that sought to expose the reality of California’s strict environmentalist slant that, according to many, has led to improper forestry practices based on emotion and not merit.
While the President predictably caught an avalanche of anger from the liberal left over this statement, it turns out that one of the top wildlife officials in the nation agrees with the Commander in Chief.
Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke backed President Donald Trump on the years of forest mismanagement that led to the California fires as Zinke joined Breitbart News Sunday radio with host Amanda House.
He suggested that even photos of the devastation don’t do justice to what it was like to see it in person. Pointing to years of neglect and dead and dying timber, he observed, “It was like a flamethrower of embers shooting through the forests.”
Zinke said many people were unprepared for the fire. He described situations where firefighters were fighting back fire encroaching on commercial buildings with people still inside of them.
Any way you slice it, the wildfires out west are going to impact American lives for years, possibly decades to come, as families and businesses begin the very first steps toward reconstruction.
When faced with this reality, the blame game may seem out of place, but Zinke and Trump have their eyes on the future prevention of these disasters.
