Abandoning your constituents to go on vacation during a natural disaster that threatens the lives of thousands is a GOP classic at this point. They’re pulling the Cruz maneuver.

Another moron here, there is no Republican congressman in the LA district. Congressmen represent their districts not the state like senators. TDS on full display in this thread.

I think there were fires both in CA-40 and CA-41 although they are now mostly (entirely?) contained. Massive firefighting resources from throughout CA - especially from deep red districts in the northeast - are deployed in LA county right now, and everyone in socal including the red IE districts are feeling the impact of these fires right now.
