FIREGATE EXPOSED: L.A. Officials Covered Up Palisades Fire Report – Here’s What They Hid!

from News For Reasonable People · host Sean Reynolds

Welcome to #Firegate, where Los Angeles city leadership tried to scrub their own after-action report to hide their catastrophic failures during the Palisades Fire. The LA Times just exposed deliberate deletions designed to shield Mayor Bass, the fire department, and Governor Newsom from accountability—including removing references to the January 1st fire that crews were ordered to leave smoldering, only to reignite six days later and kill 12 people while destroying thousands of homes. The battalion chief who wrote the original report? He refused to sign the cooked version, calling it "highly unprofessional." Sections titled "failures" got renamed "primary challenges," and language about policy violations just vanished. Mayor Bass was in Ghana while her city prepared to burn, firefighters sat idle for over an hour during the blaze, and now they're forming "crisis management work groups" to minimize liability. Is anyone shocked that California leadership is more interested in covering their tracks than protecting taxpayers? When will voters demand actual accountability instead of political spin? Hit subscribe, smash that like button, and share this with everyone who's tired of government corruption masquerading as transparency.
