“Or, more recently, Los Angeles, where we were watching fires still tragically burn from weeks ago without even a token of defense,” he continued. “They’re raging through the houses and communities, even affecting some of the wealthiest and most powerful individuals in our country, some of whom are sitting here right now.”
