California Governor Gavin Newsom has finally spoken out in-depth regarding his and other state officials’ handling of the wildfires which are destroying the southern part of the state and it should disgust everyone.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that a massive 3,000-acre wildfire raged out of control and engulfed homes in Pacific Palisades, California, on Tuesday afternoon. Shocking and heartbreaking footage has emerged showing people abandoning their cars and running for their lives.
Residents have lost their homes, entire livelihoods, and even their lives over the past several days as fires have spread all across Southern California and show no signs of abating. Meanwhile, firefighters are having issues with water pressure, thanks to politicians.
The fires would not have been so severe had California politicians led by Newsom utilized common-sense solutions such as clearing out the dead brush in the woods and filling the state’s depleted reservoirs with water.
As Fox News reported, Newsom appeared on the liberal podcast “Pod Save America” yesterday to respond to the rightful criticisms regarding his and other Democrat leaders’ failed leadership.
Right off the bat, Newsom sought to make himself look like a ‘hero.’
“So, I’m the governor of California and wanna know the answer. I’ve got that question, I can’t tell you, by how many people, ‘What happened?’ – on my own team, ‘What happened?’,” Newsom claimed to “Pod Save America” co-host Jon Favreau. “I’ll be candid with you, I wasn’t getting straight answers.”
According to Fox News, Favreau surprisingly pushed back against Newsom. He revealed that a friend of his lost his home in The Palisades and suggested that Newsom was trying to pass the buck.
Undeterred, Newsom continued his narcissistic screed.
“We had my team start talking to local leaders, saying, ‘What’s going on?’” Newsom fired back. “I was getting different answers.”
“And so, for me, when you start getting different answers, then I’m not getting the actual story,” he added.
The New York Post reported that Newsom next boasted about his government’s response to the crisis. He bragged about how many helicopters, prepositioned engines, personnel, and dozers they obtained over the weekend.
Newsom then smeared Trump, who has been extremely critical of the disgraced governor’s ‘leadership’ during the crisis, by once again falsely accusing him of politicizing the tragedy and spreading ‘misinformation.’
“It’s words. It’s a salad. It’s the form and substance of fog. It’s made up,” Newsom whined. “It’s delusional and it’s a consistent mantra from Trump going back years and years and years, and it’s reinforced over and over and over within the right wing.”
Team Trump was quick to respond to Newsom’s awful remarks and did not mince words in an explosive response.
Trump transition team spokesperson Steven Cheung told Fox News that “Instead of appearing on liberal podcasts, maybe Newscum should be doing his f***ing job and actually help people who continue to suffer under his terrible leadership.”
Unfortunately, Newsom’s actions and words prove he will never learn. As a result, California voters will continue to pay the price.
