The political battle between the Trump administration and California over blame for the the devastating wildfires that have killed scores and left nearly 1,000 missing continued Monday.
U.S. Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke blamed the states fires on radical environmentalists who he said have prevented forest management.
His comments come days after he and President Trump toured the devastation from Paradise to Malibu, with both vowing to help California recover from the disaster.
In an interview with Breitbart News, Zinke said he agrees with Trumps comments about the fires being a result of poor forest management, and repeatedly said radical environmentalists were responsible for the destruction caused by the fires.

(51,584 posts)The president of Finland said he never spoke to tRump about climate change and raking the floor. Other countries leaders are sending emails mocking him and laughing at how ridiculous and idiotic his statement was. The US fake prez is a world class joke. I guess Putin is smiling more and more.
