Kelsey Grammer Speaks Out Against Leftist ‘Malfeasance’ That Led To LA Wildfire Disaster

“Frasier” star Kelsey Grammer is one of the relatively few conservative entertainers who has thrived in Hollywood despite the city’s far-left status quo.

As such, he had a unique perspective from which to process the recent wildfires that have burned through the region.

Like many others, including some prominent leftist celebrities, Grammer concluded that Democratic policies have had the cumulative effect of making L.A. more susceptible to such a disaster.

According to Fox News:

“I’ve always been a little bit on the more conservative side of things politically around here, so that shift seems to be unfolding because of … I guess you’d call it malfeasance in office,” the actor told Fox News Digital.

“I mean, I don’t really know what else to say, but somebody took their eye off the ball, and there’s probably going to be some accountability for that. But you never know in California,” he added.

Grammer, who stars in the new film “Wish You Were Here,” said he’s had “a house full of refugees” from the fires, which broke out across Los Angeles this month, with the Pacific Palisades and Altadena areas being hit particularly hard.

“I am devastated by the loss, the human loss, the loss of life,” he said. “When you lose everything you have, and that’s happened to me a couple of times in my lifetime, it’s just [like], OK, that’s [when] you pick up, and you figure out what’s going to happen next, one foot in front of the other. That’s how it has to be.”

He continued by saying that he’s been seeing “a lot of people around who want to support” the people affected by the fires but understands why some of them may leave the city.

Many other Hollywood stars have expressed similar frustrations:

For his part, President Donald Trump wants any federal aid sent to assist in the wildfire response to be contingent on specific policy changes that could help prevent the next disaster.

As The Hill reported last week:

“I want to see two things in Los Angeles. Voter ID, so that the people have a chance to vote, and I want to see the water be released and come down into Los Angeles and throughout the state,” Trump told reporters in North Carolina, where he was touring hurricane recovery efforts.
