He knows about as much as the idiot who claimed we needed to keep our forest floors clean by raking them.  But those two are one in the same. He knows nothing. He's no different than that incompetent we were stuck with because of the Electoral College in 2016. Have you noticed too how Elder twists facts to suit his narrative? No thanks!  And no, I won't show Elder any kind of respect, a guy who believes the minimum wage should be zero, who hates women, who wants to stop any actions in place to battle COVID. He deserves nothing!  -  Larry Elder’s Claimed California Needs More Logging to Stop Wildfires...
