California State Sen. Scott Wiener Adds Wildfire Proposals to Senate's 'Trump-Proofing' Bills

As Twitchy reported on January 9, as Los Angeles County was burning to ash, California lawmakers gaveled into a special legislative session called to address not the wildfires, but the threat of litigation from the Trump administration as the state fights to remain a sanctuary state. They allocated $25 million to the California Department of Justice in anticipation of ligation with the Trump administration and another $25 million "for grants to nonprofit legal groups and centers that support immigrants who are at risk of deportation, detention, and wage theft." That's $50 million spent by the Assembly to "Trump-proof" the state and protect illegal aliens from deportation while the state burns.

Assembly Republican Leader James Gallagher shared on Thursday that California State Senator Scott Wiener told reporters on Monday that wildfire proposals would be added to the Senate's original "Trump-proofing" bills.

This is a pretty sick political maneuver. Tying a wildfire recovery bill to a political stunt to help Gavin with Democratic primary voters?

Just another day in Sacramento. The irony is that this kind of virtue signaling politics is exactly why we are in this mess. pic.twitter.com/1Ffw2277T6

I’d expect nothing less from CA-democrats. Why? because it works on California voters.

California doesn’t have a politician problem. California has a voter problem.

This is a brilliant move by the communists.

Of course it's over seen by Wiener. Wiener is an activist. When are these 'Bay area' people going say enough is enough and stop voting for 'activist liberals' as representatives.

We've covered Wiener quite a bit over the years.
