Meghan Markle and Harry are no better than ambulance chasers. What a repulsive “photo op” they got. They “reverse the damage”. Now they are politicians. They don’t live here. they are tourists.

The “Family Ties” actress then slammed the couple for a “disgusting photo op” they were photographed in on Friday. walk around the disaster area near Pasadena, together with the mayor of that city, Victor Gordo.
Bateman added: “Now they are politicians. They don’t live here. they are tourists. Disaster tourists”.
To be fair, Harry and Meghan live in California, but in beautiful Montecito, Santa Barbara County, about 90 miles north of Los Angeles.
The two have reportedly opened their mansion to friends and family affected by the bushfires, delivering supplies and other necessities.
Meanwhile, Bateman also criticized Los Angeles officials during an interview last week on “Jesse Watters Primetime.” He told Watters that officials should be fired for fighting the deadly wildfires because they failed to plan ahead.
So far, the fires have killed 24 people, left 16 others missing, and destroyed thousands of homes.
