….. He detailed his theory for why the first got so out of hand: 'There was an Obama appointee, climate-change activist, who also believes as part of this larger Gaia-centric world-view of the Earth that water rights need to be protected. Which led to a five to six hour delay in the critical window of getting water to put out those fires.'
'We will neer know, although certain signs point to signs that we very well could have avoided those catastrophic deaths – many of them – if water had made it to the site of the fires in time,' he continued. 'And I bring this up because we are destined to repeat our mistakes again unless we learn from the ones we have already made.'
The mistake, he claims, is allowing DEI, or diversity, equity, and inclusion, to dominate the decisions of U.S. leaders.
'There's a dark but hard TRUTH to the Maui catastrophe that has led to over 110 tragic deaths. As wildfires raged, desperate residents petitioned state officials to send more water for firefighting & to help protect their properties from fire. That request went unanswered for hours, withholding critical aid to islanders,' Ramaswamy tweeted on Thursday.
'Now we're learning that the official who delayed the approval is an Obama Foundation 'Asia Pacific Leader' & a climate activist who believes water should be 'revered' first and foremost,' he continued. 'The DEI agenda is literally costing people their lives. Hawaii's Democrat governor, Josh Green, says there are people 'fighting against the release of water to fight fires' & that it needs to be explored further.'
'The No. 1 responsibility of government is to protect its citizens. The victims and their families deserve the TRUTH.'

Liberals in power can injure us, maim us and kill us, often without any worries of blame.
Why hasn’t this person been charged with all those murders?
He probably wants to defund Hawaii
That’s what I’d like to know!
He’s right on this point. Glad someone is calling it out.
The problem begins with the woke electric company that charges $0.44 per kilowatt hour and invests in green energy instead of maintaining their electric lines and the vegetation surrounding them. The Maui fire had multiple points of failure. Maybe people will wake up from woke.
Vivek is fearless in speaking the truth about woke, tyranny of LGBTQ minority, foreign aid & wars with BORROWED money etc. Career politicians are so afraid to upset anyone.
Wokie Lau
He seems a stand-up guy.
Bingo! I’ve been waiting for Trump to say it! Vivek I want more!
This reminds me of the orgasm scene-When Harry Met Sally. “I’ll have what he’s having”.
Alan Keyes
For the proper purpose, it’s not murder but setting one free.
Fulfilling the cause, etc.
Psychopaths, sociopaths, and egomaniacs are in charge.
Daily attempt at a headline.
Which led to a five to six hour delay in the critical window of getting water to put out those fires.

I once lived on several hundred acres east of Austin that had thousands of Colorado type pine trees on it. One day, dry and hot like today, a piece of equipment started a grass fire. There were two of us around. In minutes and I repeat MINUTES!.......that one foot wide fire had spread to several acres. Fortunately, we had a backhoe there that day and I jumped on it and, using the bucket, and running across the ground out in front of the fire at about 15 mph, I cleared a fire block. Then, I scooped up water from a stock tank and poured that on it. But for the backhoe, and knowing how to run it, the whole place would have burned down.
This guy Manuel who held up water for 6 hours should be tried for manslaughter at a minimum. At this writing, reports are that 100 are confirmed dead and hundreds more missing. He did more killing than the Las Vegas shooter! And, a lot of them were children. Democrats PROBABLY gave the sob a raise.
The PUC of Hawaii was forcing the utility company into some of these woke policies.
Hawaii officially kicked off new reforms called “performance-based regulation.” In 2018, when the regulators decided to do a top-to-bottom overhaul of the regulatory structure, there were worries about the financial impact on the utility, Hawaiian Electric
Crisis as VR opportunity. Never let a crisis go to waste.
Stop chasing the Biden accounts, check into all the Obama accounts. Maui should belong to native Hawaiians only and forever.
