Vice President Kamala Harris suggested that the victims of the Southern California fires be patient in a statement that has since gone viral for the wrong reasons.
Over 88,000 Californians remain under evacuation orders, largely in the Los Angeles area, as of Wednesday after multiple fires burned 40,000 acres. At least 25 people have died as wildfires continue to spread across the region. According to Harris, FEMA still has some search and rescue work to do. She went on to console victims with one of her notorious world salads.
“Lots of people who still have a home who are under evacuation order, I know you want to get back home, but this is a time to be patient,” Harris said. “It’s critically important that, to the extent you can find anything that gives you an ability to be patient in this extremely dangerous and unprecedented crisis, that you do.”
“It’s terrifying to think how Kamala would have treated the American people if this is how she treats her home state supporters,” Media Research Center President Brent Bozell responded to the clip on X.
“The bullet we just dodged on display!” another user wrote.
“Did Kamala just tell them to calm down?” another user commented.

“What she’s trying to express here with this confusing word salad is that it’s super important for LA residents to be patient with the bungling incompetence & appalling stupidity of CA Democrats & not to link the ongoing disaster to their woke, civilization-destroying policies,” another user wrote.

Many of the fires have spread into neighborhoods and destroyed homes. Over a week after the fires sparked, as many as 12,300 structures have burned.
The Pacific Palisades neighborhood has been the hardest hit area, with the most buildings burned but also because of empty fire hydrants. Los Angeles Water and Power Department Chief Engineer Janisse Quinones confirmed in a press conference that all three water tanks ran out of a million gallons of water each a week ago, hours after the fires started. As of Wednesday, the fire there is 19% contained.
