Gavin Newsom became emotional when asked about Donald Trump placing the blame on the California governor for the disastrous, killer wildfires that have ravaged the state.
Trump said that the governor, who he referred to as 'Gavin Newscum,' a favorite of the Republican's pet names, was at fault for the disaster.
The president-elect lambasted Newsom in a Truth Social post Wednesday for focusing on environmental priorities like 'worthless fish' over those of Golden State residents.
Speaking to Anderson Cooper amid the fires in Los Angeles Wednesday, Newsom was visibly hurt by the criticism.
'People are literally fleeing. People have lost their lives. Kids lost their schools, families completely torn asunder, churches burned down, he said.'
Newsom avoided going further in on Trump: 'I have a lot of thoughts and I know what I want to say... I won't.'
He then raged at Trump for trying to 'politicize' the disaster, while contrasting him with Joe Biden.
'I stood next to a President of the United States of America today, and I was proud to be with Joe Biden. And he had the backs of every single person in this community. He didn't play politics, didn't try to divide any of us.'
It followed Newsom's press office slamming Trump for claiming he could demand water flow into California at any time and isn't doing so on purpose.
'There is no such document as the water restoration declaration – that is pure fiction,' a spokesperson for Newsom wrote.
'The Governor is focused on protecting people, not playing politics, and making sure firefighters have all the resources they need.'

Yes, he’s amazing. And the media always makes fun of him, makes him out to be crazy when he makes these predictions. I think people - at least most people - finally woke up to he fact that Trump getting involved in politics has brought nothing but trouble for him, that they finally realized that my God, he really is doing this to save the country. I think when he got shot, that was the turning point. And he did save the country - twice, from Hillary and then Junkie Jezebel
