GStephanopoulos It is due primarily to poor forest management, since the tree huggers bought your butts decades ago.

GStephanopoulos Yes I guess the fires just started by themselves because it’s too damn hot out. The idiots that run the state had nothing to do with it. How do you people get elected ? How are there people stupid enough to swallow the crap you tell them?

GStephanopoulos OMG. When will it end?

GStephanopoulos A freak weather event and power lines together with arsonists and a mismanaged forest policy are the main culprits for the fires in Oregon. This was a preventable tragedy, but pols like Kate Brown and Merkley did nothing. If the power had been cut, no fires

GStephanopoulos If & when Trump has the balls to go survey the damage he to can use a shovel, rake or other instrument to help clear the dead brush & keep his mouth shut. Let me guess his bone spurs will have mysteriously shown back up again?

GStephanopoulos I think the constant flooding in the south from all the hurricanes, the poor civil zoning management, the desire for the politicians to steal fema money is an act of god ( a Christian Evangelical god-whatever that is) and not the result of rain water....

GStephanopoulos This video of an emergency meeting by the Board of County commissioners offers revealing info about the fires

GStephanopoulos controlled burns are a real thing

GStephanopoulos The makeshift President we have just follows himself

GStephanopoulos Actually it is the truth.

GStephanopoulos he’s lying and knows it . of course it’s about forest management just like we used to lose power in DC all the time bc pepco let clearing by power lines stop. they cleared a lot after the power outages over 4-5 years and now it’s been much better for years .

GStephanopoulos its just a dumbass opinion, there is no fires at the white house nor at his personal residence so why should he care

GStephanopoulos SO NO ONE NEEDS TO FEEL GUILTY ABOUT PROTECTING THEIR CHILD FROM A SEXUAL PREDATOR! 'Fact check: LGBTQ community rejects false association with pedophiles'

GStephanopoulos FOR THE TERMINALLY STUPID THE FIRST FIRE WAS STARTED BY LIGHTENING & THEN THE FOLLOWING FIRES WERE STARTED BY ABOUT A DOZEN ARSONISTS! AND THE MORONS ON THE FAR-LEFT REFUSE TO TAKE DOWN DEAD TREES EVEN THOUGH 99.5% OF THEM DO NOT HOUSE BIRDS OR ANIMALS! THEY'RE JUST KINDLING!

GStephanopoulos Anyone who thinks forest management is not the answer then you are a complete idiot

GStephanopoulos Funny how Canada with their forest management has a severe drop in fires compared to the US.

GStephanopoulos Senator is a liar. California fires have been happening most years for the last several hundred years. Santa Anna winds?

GStephanopoulos Why not in Canada? Why not in Mexico? Is the arrested arsonist the creator of global warming?

GStephanopoulos Trump is still mad they won’t rake the forests.

GStephanopoulos GStephanopoulos A total f ing disgrace is the only way I can describe your show today! Having Miller on is one thing but allowing him to repeat lie after lie is to much. totaldisgrace

GStephanopoulos ...a tree-ologist (sCiEnCe!!!) would tell you that, given the warming planet, you’re gonna want to remove the dead trees or there’s gonna be bad fires.

GStephanopoulos No lying fscist ABC! Mismanagement by lying fscist polices, a “gender reveal party”(🤣😂) oh and don’t forget all the fires SET by ur VIOLENT ANTIFA TERRORISTS! 8 people so far have been arrested! NOT CLIMATE CHANGE lying liberal fscists!! MAN MADE by liberal fascists!

GStephanopoulos Forest Management isn’t going to stop 10,000 lightening strikes. Forest management didn’t stop stupid/reckless people (gender reveal) Climate Change is Real ClimateChange is Here

GStephanopoulos 2020年 9月13 直播 彌賽亞要來了！

GStephanopoulos SenJeffMerkley than why have there been a rest for arson?! 4 yesterday and 1 last month?! We’re they part of the global warming you are lying about! TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ONCE!

GStephanopoulos Wonder if these dummies realize the US isn't the problem. China and South America are, by far, the worst polluters. Funny how easily Dems are faked out. Next thing you know they'll be supporting rapists and felons and looters and rioting.

GStephanopoulos Please tell these arsonists to stop. They are destroying our futures.

GStephanopoulos even covered the one in Oregon! So it only happens in California where the dried up grass and trees grow that are not cleaned?

GStephanopoulos Yet when it comes to gender science says there are only two, male and female. The left ignored that science

GStephanopoulos Is he your science expert George?

GStephanopoulos GStephanopoulos well said 👏.

GStephanopoulos FakeNews ArsonFires ArsonExposed

GStephanopoulos Climate change is a scheme to redistribute $.

GStephanopoulos We blame it on Antifa arson. Will Biden ever speak out against these criminals? You are supposed to be objectively and honestly reporting facts, not junk science.

GStephanopoulos Trump has been President for over 3 years and not once has he gone out there and raked the national forest.

GStephanopoulos I call b.s. on Mr. Merkley. They have already found that a few of the fires were started by people, NOT global warming. I suspect this is the case for the other fires too. Follow the common sense.

GStephanopoulos Your graphics department needs to be more vigilant before they send overlays on-air. Just saw 'Trump and Biden trail in key battleground states', on the bottom screen banner. They're opposing candidates, who are they BOTH trailing?

GStephanopoulos They lie to cover their own mistakes and push their bullshit agenda.

GStephanopoulos The only thing trump does consistently is lie.

GStephanopoulos Powerful message by the Ca1iphate in Iraq 🏴🔻🔥 After the foolish Trump claimed his fake victory ‼️ TِuscanGP SِundayMorning BِlueLivesMatter FِlyEaglesFly EDF07

GStephanopoulos rapist pedo joe and slaver kam support AntifaFires ANTIFA STARTING FIRES IN CALIFORNIA. OREGON and WASHINGTON!!!!

GStephanopoulos Climate change didnt start a fire.

GStephanopoulos What was developed next door and what's happening then? They know they screwed up.

GStephanopoulos This is the UNITED States of America. It is not us vs them After every disaster, inc 9/11 we pulled together to help EACH OTHER Right now, YOUR countrymen need you from the firezones to the hurricanezone It's time to step up, like the Cajun Navy to Disaster Assistance Team DAT

GStephanopoulos tell it to the woolly mammoth ..

GStephanopoulos Climate change seems to only effect California. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

GStephanopoulos It’s common sense!! Dead trees and brush are lighter fluid.
