Caruso is the MFer the media tried unsuccessfully to cheerlead into the LA mayors office and whose lies about Bass and Newsom have been dominating coverage of the fires
While LA firefighters were running out of water…
Rick Caruso, the real estate developer and former L.A. mayoral candidate, hired private firefighters to save his upscale shopping center in Pacific Palisades on Tuesday night.
