The misinformation spread by politicians during California's damaging fire in January 2023 reflects how catastrophic events become arenas for political blame.
Amid California's raging fires, claims of low water resources and mismanagement were unfounded, as the issues stemmed from decades-old infrastructure problems.
Even popular figures like Mark Hamill lost their homes to the fires, illustrating the wide-reaching destruction across celebrity and regular communities alike.
Amidst the chaotic fire-response, critics highlighted that even with infrastructure issues, preventative measures could have minimized the impact of the flames.
