Washington Gov. Inslee says state looks 'apocalyptic' from fires
Washington Governor Jay Inslee said Sunday that his state looks “apocalyptic” with a smoky haze from wildfires that he blamed on climate change.
“The skies are a smoke that we have never seen before except two or three years ago,” the Democrat said on ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopolous.” “It's apocalyptic. And it is maddening.”
Inslee detailed how the state is reeling from the wildfires, which have been burning in California, Oregon and Washington state and which have killed at least 33 people. He talked about a visit to the town of Malden where, he said, “80 percent of the homes were burned down.“
“The only moisture in eastern Washington was the tears of people who have lost their homes, and mingling with the ashes,” he said. “And now we have a blowtorch over our states in the West, which is climate change.”
At a Nevada rally Saturday night, President Donald Trump told the crowd to remember the wildfires are “about forest management,” among other things.
