GOP county chairman: California wildfires are 'God’s Punishment' for the 'Liberal' state

An Ohio county chairman for the Republican Party provoked outrage after posting a Facebook message declaring that the fires devastating parts of California are “God’s Punishment” for the “Liberal” state. David Johnson, chairman of the Columbiana County GOP, posted images of the inferno Sunday with the message: “God’s Punishment to Liberal California.” Another message superimposed over a photo read: “Hell on Earth, brought to you by the Liberals in California!”
