Outgoing Vice President Kamala Harris is facing some serious criticism for some recent remarks that she made in relation to the California wildfires. 

The claim, according to Fox Business, came during Harris's recent press conference that took place on Thursday.

There, of course, is a reason why Harris did not make so many unscripted public statements when she was running for the U.S. presidency.

If you forget why, this incident will jog your memory.

Here is what Harris said:

The topic of Harris's press conference on Thursday was the ongoing wildfires. At one point, she tried to make a claim about insurance companies.

Here is what she said:

Many insurance companies have canceled insurance for a lot of the families who have been affected and will be affected, which is only going to delay or place an added burden on their ability to recover.

The vice president did not cite the source of her information.

Instead, she continued:

I think that is an important point that must be raised, and hopefully there can be some way to address that issue, because these families — so many of them — otherwise will not have the resources to recover in any meaningful way, and many of them have lost everything.

There is no doubt that people are losing everything, but, it turns out that other parts of Harris's statement are simply not factual.

"False, wrong, dangerous"

Among those to blast Harris for her claim is David Sampson, the president and CEO of the American Property Casualty Insurance Association (APCIA).

He told Fox Business:

It is false, wrong, and dangerous to even insinuate that insurers are abandoning their customers, and it's especially concerning coming from a former California statewide elected official who should know the law.

Indeed, let us not forget that Harris was actually the attorney general of California at one point, before she went on to become a U.S. Senator.

Sampson continued:

Insurers are committed to protecting the safety of those affected and providing expedited relief to their policyholders for the covered losses. So the implication that people who have insurance coverage effective on January 7th are being canceled — just to leave that impression with people and to create that fear — is irresponsible, in my view.

Harris, at the time of this writing, has not released any other statement on the matter. She has not responded to the backlash that she has received for making the statement - and it is probably unlikely that she will.
