She is an awful person.

Via NBC LA:

A raging wildfire that spread rapidly in Southern California mountain foothill communities was scorching more rugged terrain Thursday, and the reported number of homes destroyed was expected to increase.

Four firefighters and one resident had been injured by the Silver Fire, which prompted evacuations in several communities as it raced through nearly 16 square miles between Banning and Idyllwild in less than 24 hours. […]

At an afternoon news conference, Sen. Barbara Boxer emphasized the growth of wildfires this year in California, in part blaming climate change.

“Open your eyes, breathe the air and see what’s going on,” she said, addressing climate-change deniers.

She said the smoke at her home in Riverside County’s Rancho Mirage was “so thick” that she thought there was a fire in community.

Boxer also warned that federal spending cuts would mean fewer firefighters, saying that sequester-induced spending reductions would be “disastrous.”
