In a since-deleted tweet, Pima County Democrats attacked a victim of the California fires that continue to displace thousands of people, leaving them homeless.
On January 8, the Pima County Democratic Party twitter account attacked California resident Wes Nichols (@wesnichols) in response to his tweet regarding the destruction of Pacific Palisades.
“I just left the hellscape formerly know as Pacific Palisades where I’ve lived for 26 years,” tweeted Nichols. “I’m mad at what I saw. Our politicians have failed us. Unprepared, unimaginative, understaffed, now overwhelmed. Heads must roll for this disaster. I personally saw 100+ homes fully engulfed. @RickCarusoLA just mentioned water wasn’t working in the fire hydrants- WTF?! (I took this video around Pali High. Total destruction. )”
The @PimaDems account responded, “maybe pay your taxes and maybe local govs wouldn’t be so understaffed.”
California and Los Angeles both have among the nation’s highest tax rates. California has the highest individual income tax burden and the 5th highest overall tax burden of any state in the country, according to WalletHub. Los Angeles County has one of the highest median property taxes in the United States and Los Angeles has the 11th highest sales tax of any US city.
Immediately, the Pima County Republican Party responded, “THIS extraordinary lack of compassion combined with a childish understanding of a devastating situation could only come from the far left.”

“Pima County Dems are the literal worst. Remember their f*** the 4th of July party?” responded one follower referring to a tweet from the @PimaDems in 2022. In that tweet, the @PimaDems wrote, “F*ck the Fourth. See you at Reid Park,” with an image calling for members to “mourn with Fuck the Fourth.” On its Facebook page, the group told friends: “July 4th. We are not celebrating until we get our independence back.”
The Party removed those messages as well and Democrat candidates made no mention of it, in the hope the issue would blow over. It never really did and continues to haunt the group with every social media faux pas.
It is unclear why the group chose to go after the @wesnichols. The owner of the account, a partner the investment group March Capital, has made no recent posts complaining about paying taxes or claiming to avoid them. However, it appears that he may have been confused with another Wes Nichols in California who “currently serves as Founder & CEO of Paramount Property Tax Appeal. That Nichols’ consulting firm concentrates “on property and business tax reduction,” according to the company’s website.
@stevenson408 replied to the @wesnichols account, “Don’t you actively work on reducing property taxes (which pay for those fire fighters),” while sharing a photo of Nichols with the Paramount Property Tax Appeal firm.
“Not only did these nimrods attack a victim of the fires,” one Pima County Republican activist told the Arizona Daily Independent. “They got him confused with another guy. Hate is a horrible thing, but it is worse when you are a complete f%$#trd.”
According to NBC News, “at least 13 people have died as a result of the wildfires blazing through Southern California… Six were killed in the Eaton Fire and five in the Palisades Fire, but the numbers were expected to rise. Another 13 people are missing in L.A. County since the fires started, said Sheriff Robert Luna.”
As of Saturday afternoon, the massive Eaton Fire and the Palisades Fire continued burning in Southern California days after erupting amid a powerful windstorm. The Palisades Fire has forced new evacuations as it moves toward the 405, threatening homes in Brentwood and Mandeville Canyon, according to Eyewitness News.
Governor Gavin Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass, both Democrats, have been called on to resign, amid accusations that they have failed to protect residents, given that there was advanced warning of hazardous fire conditions.

Maybe Hunter Biden should pay his taxes…..
Democrats sound like any other criminal syndicate: That’s a nice house you had, pity you didn’t pay your protection money; this could have been avoided, you know.
Actually what the Pima County Democraps meant was “pay MORE taxes” because no democrat is ever going to do anything besides waste your money then demand more. Ever notice that when one of these lowlifes open their mouths they insert foot? That’s the power of stupidity.
Pima County filled up with these people from CA & the West Coast, along with the “paper belt” (DC-to-Boston); they research where to live in AZ, and find loney-land Tucson. It’s deeply tragic, because they’re behind the [literally] hundreds of nutty charities & enviro orgs, that have now made the place totally toxic to outside business investment, thus robbing the locals of good family-wage jobs. The local leadership is profoundly weak, and utterly incapable of turning things around.
100% TRUE Mr. Sellers
ROTFLMAOOL – democrats – the virtue party – ‘see what “I” do! ‘ because I’m kiool and “I” know better than ‘you’.. I’ll put up my kiool sign that announces how kiool “I” am.. have a neighbor of same ilk. Its fine ‘ it is their right ‘ that their are enough of them to hold office.. just can’t fix stupid. I was born here – don’t plan on leaving… but who knows when – Good Day Old Pueblo Via con Dios
I don’t think there’s anything left to the imagination about just how deep the democrats’ disdain is of the American public. That one tweet exemplifies their hatred, as if the lack of tax money was the reason for this disaster. California voters (I was one of them) voted for new dams for water storage. The taxes have been paid for it for 10 years, but instead, 4 dams have been torn down. The state stole the money and fraudulently spent it on beads, trinkets and illegals. In my opinion, what the state has done is a criminal offense.
Criminal mismanagement is the very reason Taxpayers want relief. It’s never unpatriotic to expect efficiency and thrift from politicians and the unelected bureaucrats who have a public trust. Hopefully we are entering an ERA OF ACCOUNTABILITY.
Boy, this post is a revelation – I had no idea the Dems were THIS nasty. Thanks ADI for the info.
As with other worthless organizations like the MSM, BLM, SPLC and the ACLU just to mention a few, you can’t hate the democrats enough for the damage they have done to this country and its citizens. They hate us because we are successful, pay our taxes and work to support our families unlike most of the democrat followers. The democrats now are a party of the far left loons and is getting smaller all the time. However they will never let go of the attempt to grab power and run our lives as they see fit. May they all face judgement one day for the BS they have done.
Typical of the POS Democrat party n PimaCounty and yet people are still stupid enough to vote for them
And the sad part is Howard, they will never change. Tucson and Pima County could be a shining example of educational brilliance and an innovator of new ideas to benefit mankind, but the Grijalva mafia and its minions only want power and will do anything to get it. Wonder when Raul is going to resign and give his seat of his daughter?
