WaPo’s Philip Bump Says Far-Right’s Lies About Wildfires Are Just Like 2020 Election Denialism

CBS

Washington Post columnist Philip Bump is a piece of work. Some days he gives Jennifer Rubin a run for her money as the most unhinged columnist at the paper. As we reported Wednesday, Politico's writer actually wrote that "Republicans are seizing" on the California wildfires to criticize the state's Democratic leadership.

Bump is pouncing on Republicans for spreading lies about the wildfires and the disastrous response to them — "Anything to keep the realities of climate change from spreading," he writes.

CNN senior media analyst Brian Stelter thought he'd highlight Bump's column.

What? Election denialism? As Joe Biden would say, "Come on, man."

Bump writes:

Over the past two decades, though, climate change has gone from a peripheral concern of scientists to a global problem to an issue that’s viewed through the lens of political partisanship. Taking action to combat climate change enjoyed a brief moment of bipartisan support, a unity that collapsed as Republican politicians leaned into rhetoric (stoked by fossil fuel companies) that downplayed the risk and accused the left of seeking to restrict American freedom rather than carbon dioxide emissions.

The result by this point is that any declaration that the various examples of climate-change-linked disasters as being climate-change-linked is seen as a left-wing talking point. So the right, across its mouthpiece television channels and social media bubble, lines up for partisan warfare.

Did climate change cut the fire department's budget by more than $17 million? Did climate change keep the state from building more reservoirs? Blaming climate change is a left-wing talking point and always has been. Now it's being used as a diversion from the real, serious problems with governance in California and Los Angeles.

What a tool.

No one's buying the climate change excuse anymore. We've moved past that now.

True. But no one is a greater enemy to disinformation than Stelter and his colleagues at CNN.

It's over. As Elon Musk said, we are the media now, and people aren't settling for "climate change" as the root cause of this disaster. We can actually discuss Gov. Gavin Newsom's mismanagement openly, despite Bump's wishes.
