'Virtue signaling': KIRO hosts debate former Gov. Jay Inslee linking Spokane fires to climate change

Former Washington Governor Jay Inslee made a post on social media Sunday linking the fires raging in Spokane to climate change and urging people to fight for their neighbors.

KIRO host Spike O'Neill said Inslee was spot on in linking the Spokane fires to climate change, while KIRO fill-in host Greg Tomlin warned the fire was started by an arsonist and that crying wolf on climate change is dangerous.
