CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings sparked outrage on Wednesday night when he suggested diversity, equity, and inclusion policies were linked to the devastating Los Angeles wildfires.
With multiple fires in the Southern California area engulfing tens of thousands of acres and leaving at least 2,000 buildings scorched, more than 7,500 firefighting personnel have been dispatched to battle the raging flames. At least five people have been killed, hundreds of thousands of residents have been ordered to evacuate, and the fires are still at zero percent containment as high winds and dry conditions continue to feed the inferno.
