"I've always been a little bit on the more conservative side of things politically around here, so that shift seems to be unfolding because of … I guess you'd call it malfeasance in office," the sitcom star explained in an interview with Fox News Digital.
"I mean, I don't really know what else to say, but somebody took their eye off the ball and there's probably going to be some accountability for that. But you never know in California," Grammer added.

The La Cage aux Folles actor emphasized how his friends are still displaced from their homes and trying to get back to normal after the infernos ripped through their neighborhoods.
"I am devastated by the loss, the human loss, the loss of life," he said. "When you lose everything you have and that's happened to me a couple of times in my lifetime, it's just like, OK, that's when you pick up and you figure out what's going to happen next, one foot in front of the other. That's how it has to be."

Grammer pointed out how he understands why his fellow citizens may want to move away from Los Angeles following the disaster. "For many, they're going to want to find a new way to live, a new way forward, a new place to live," he explained.
"But I know a lot of people want to stay and I wish them well with it. And I'm certainly going to do everything I can to help," the Cheers alum said.

"Political expediency or whatever, you lose sight of things," Grammer continued. "But we live in a desert, we basically have really hazardous fire conditions all the time and we stopped doing stuff to remediate it. So, you know, you just got to use your head."
The Boss star is not the first celebrity to slam the elected officials after 27,000 acres were burned and least 25 people died due to the fires. Talk show host Bill Maher recently slammed liberals who don't want to highlight the failings of the ones in charge.
The Boss star is not the first celebrity to slam the elected officials after 27,000 acres were burned and least 25 people died due to the fires. Talk show host Bill Maher recently slammed liberals who don't want to highlight the failings of the ones in charge.
"I'm with the people who want to hold politicians accountable," he said in an interview with TMZ.
Maher claimed liberals were being "hypocritical" since they were avoiding the problem altogether. "It's so funny to hear that coming out of the mouths of liberals because they hate it when conservatives say that after a gun tragedy, which is what conservatives always say after a mass shooting. 'This is not the time to politicize it.' And then it never is," the television personality noted.

The public condemned Governor Gavin Newsom when firefighters reportedly ran out of water to put out the blaze due to the malfunctioning reservoir.

"There is a group of people in California that could fuel a revolt of liberals or Democrats," historian Victor Davis Hanson told Fox News Digital.
"So, the shock of L.A. is most of the people that were burned out in Pacific Palisades or on the areas around it were very, very left-wing and very wealthy," he continued. "And this was what's shocking politically because the consequences of their votes and their ideology had never really personally affected them to this degree."
