LA Mayor Karen Bass has astonishing meltdown during press conference on wildfires burning down homes in California.
Joe Biden claimed that Los Angeles fire hydrants hadn't run dry because of a water shortage, but due to power being cut to water pumps because of the killer wildfires.
'What I know from talking to the governor, there are concerns out there that there's also been a water shortage,' he said in a press briefing Thursday.

The new blaze prompted evacuations Thursday in and around Los Angeles even as firefighters aided by calmer winds saw the first signs of successfully beating back the region’s deadly and devastating wildfires, while the enormity of the devastation started to emerge. The fast moving Kenneth blaze is already encompassing 700 acres and threatening the Malibu Canyon area north of the 101 Freeway near Calabasas, home to the Kourtney Kardashian and Will Smith. Kim and Khloe Kardashia live in nearby Hidden Hills.
Dozens of blocks were flattened to smoldering rubble in scenic Pacific Palisades. Only the outlines of homes and their chimneys remained. In Malibu, blackened palm strands were all that was left above debris where oceanfront homes once stood. 'Right now, frankly, we don't know yet,' he said. 'I think the death toll will rise. I hope I'm wrong.'
AccuWeather, a private company that provides data on weather and its impact, on Thursday increased its estimate of the damage and economic loss to $135-$150 billion.Already, 600 service members have arrived from the Cal Guard along with equipment to help local authorities. They brought 10 rotary wing aircrafts and two C-130 planes to help fight the fires.
Donald Trump has blamed the fires on Newsom for being unprepared for the devastating wildfires that have cropped up all around Los Angeles causing immeasurable damage. 'The Governor is focused on protecting people, not playing politics, and making sure firefighters have all the resources they need.' 'Rest assured, when that is done, when we are safe, when lives have been saved, we will absolutely do an evaluation to look at what worked, what didn't work, and to correct or hold accountable any body, department, individual etc.
Former Dancing with the Stars professional dancer Valentin Chmerkovskiy also expressed his dissatisfaction on social media. 'One doesn't understand the first thing about fire management and the other can't fill the water reservoirs', he wrote.
