Its been nearly three weeks since President Donald Trump has acknowledged the catastrophic wildfires burning across California and other Western states, underscoring his pattern of dismissing climate disasters in Democratic strongholds.

The environmental group Climate Power 2020 called out Trumps silence on Thursday, noting he hasnt mentioned the ongoing crises at any of his 46 public events or on Twitter since mid-August, when he made this suggestion to California: You gotta clean your floors, you gotta clean your forests. He mentioned neither climate change, a much bigger factor in these disasters, nor the fact that many of the states biggest blazes have burned on federally managed land .

President Trumps silence and complete disregard for the millions of people at risk is horrifying, Climate Power 2020 Executive Director Lori Lodes said in a statement. It shouldnt matter if its a red state or a blue state, the president should be above politics in moments of crises. He calls climate change a hoax when we can all see our nation is burning. Voters see through his BS.
