Dean Cain Blames California Wildfires on Democratic Leadership

Dean Cain, the actor best known for his role in “Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman,” has criticized California‘s Democratic leadership for the devastation caused by recent wildfires. Cain, who grew up in Malibu and Pacific Palisades, revealed that multiple homes he once lived in were destroyed in the fires. He described the scenes as “shocking and horrific,” comparing the destruction to a nuclear blast.

Cain, who now resides in Henderson, Nevada, blamed the wildfires on what he called a “perfect storm of mismanagement and a failure of leadership.” He specifically targeted California Gov. Gavin Newsom, accusing him of inadequate preparation and resource allocation. “You screwed up, Gavin Newsom,” Cain said in an interview with Fox News Digital. “There was plenty of water. Last year was record rainfall… Snowmelt, reservoir the water.”

The actor also criticized the state’s fire management policies, including the lack of controlled burns and brush clearance. He claimed that his fire insurance was canceled after the 2018 Woolsey Fire, which ultimately led him to leave California. “When you have all the tools taken away from you, no money, no brush clearance, no controlled burns, you end up with a catastrophic situation like this,” Cain explained.

Cain expressed hope that the wildfires would lead to a political shift in California, traditionally a Democratic stronghold. “I think this is going to turn a very, very blue state, much more red,” he said. “I’m hoping California becomes purple.” He argued that the fires might prompt Hollywood liberals to reconsider their voting patterns, especially when faced with the consequences of policies they previously supported.

The actor also shared his personal connection to the devastation, noting that his childhood memories were erased as landmarks like Palisades High School were destroyed. “So much of my childhood is gone,” he said. “It’s heartbreaking to see it happen.”

Cain praised the resilience of Americans in times of crisis, highlighting the outpouring of support for wildfire victims. However, he warned that the road to recovery would be long and arduous. “It’s going to be one of those catastrophic events in their lives,” he said. “I hope that this will wake up people so they’ll start voting for policies that make sense.”
