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.'

>> And I was alive when Kennedy was potus.
Kennedy was close to a “man in the WH”. At least he fought in THE war, and preferred women. ;-) JFK would be considered a deplorable MAGA conservative today.
Johnson was “100% all man”, if by “man” you mean “total utter insufferable prick”. And not man enough to stay the course to fix the Vietnam train wreck he brought to life.
The rest? Carter, Clintoon, Fagbama, Douche Biden... all “men” with hi-octane estrogen running through their veins...
:-)
With GOD’s help, President Trump is an awesome learning and adapting machine.
Not passive... active!
No AI there! It’s REAL intelligence.
Maybe a mob will Mussolini him.
…Maybe at least Trudeau him?
Terrorism as the cause is irrelevant, because *setting* the fires isn’t the worst part of it. Lack of ability to *respond* with a competent, adequate staff of firefighters armed with, actual SUPPLIES OF WATER — is the problem.
Well said.
How long Santa Ana winds was blowing before scattered fire started?
How did fire ignited if it was too darn damp and too darn chilly?
Cess pool.
Burn it to the ground.
Except for water, equipment, and more firefighters. Otherwise, everything is practically perfect!
Told Ya
or...
Saw it coming
Twist the knife in them President Trump. Let them face the fire finally (no pun intended). They lying evil scumbag degenerate democrats attack attack attack no matter the issue. Did democrats like Newscum politicize kung flu? Yes they did. So eat it democrats. Everything is politics now because of the disgusting democrats. Hopefully enough Californians wake up and vote the democrats out of office forever.
If or when my local community suffers a major disaster I hope my expectations will not include a rhetorical binkie delivered in person by the President. I don’t care which political party.
Was cocky-Newsom’s hair messed up or just his eyes were teary ?
“I was proud to be with Joe Biden. ...He didn’t play politics, didn’t try to divide any of us.’”

Newscumb said that months after the GARBAGE rhetoric...
Some people are “garbage” said the “best” prez.
Newsom sees his career going up in smoke.
Those are his donors' homes that are burning down to the ground. They are not going to forget this.
Ever.

Nuisance, Gavin Nuisance.
During the pandemic this tyrant censored free speech, made free assembly illegal, infringed on people’s ability to go to church, any poor kid he train wrecked their lives. As he smugly eats at the French laundry. Now the fires and California inability to handle them due to his incompetent. This ass hole should be hung by the people. He truly is s menace to society
Well, prancing around in a $700 suit miming what you THINK a governor is, won’t cut the mustard, pal.
As a believer in lobal warming, Newsome cries because he knows the truth: the fires would not be happening if we had more windmills and solar panels.
