This photo of a firefighter is becoming a symbol of the foreboding 2021 wildfire season

At the beginning of what's expected to be a record-breaking wildfire season in California, a photo of a firefighter who has battled flames in Big Sur's Willow Fire is becoming a symbol of the foreboding 2021 wildfire season.

Talk about moronic rage! He accused the guys -- who were not from Montana but had volunteered to join the teams fighting wildfires in Montana -- of being lazy good for nothings because the fires were still raging. No, seriously, he did!

And that, my friends, is why Jon Tester is the Democratic Senator from Montana today and has been since 2007.

I hope the gentleman in the picture gets home alright. I hope all the firefighters return safely to their homes.
