Stark pictures portray two different realities in NorCal political race

[ffr]

The republican way, doing nothing and standing your ground.


The democratic way, taking action to leave things better than you found them.

Denney sees the fires as evidence the district needs a change. To her, there are two traumas facing the community: the trauma of the actual damage being done now, but also the trauma of reliving the Camp fire. She argues LaMalfa has failed to take either issue seriously.

Last week, as the North Complex fire merged several outbreaks into the massive, smoky blaze that it is now, the Republican congressman posted a wildfire-related meme on his personal Facebook page asking if California could “please blow your #%&% candles out.” Soon after, he deleted it without apology. But not before Denney screen-grabbed it and posted it to her campaign’s Instagram account.

“I don’t know how the Congressman justifies making harmful and distasteful jokes like these while his constituents lose their homes, lives, businesses, and sense of security as wildfires rage in our region,” Denney wrote. - HuffPost
