Gov. Gavin Newsom on Saturday launched a page on his campaign website he says is to combat "misinformation and disinformation" being spread online and by political leaders regarding the ongoing wildfires in Southern California.
He says the site will "continue to update and provide valuable, fact-based information to the public around policies, budget allocations, personnel on the ground and more.."
The webpage is notably located on Newsom's campaign website funded by Newsom for California, and not on an official government site.
“There is an astonishing amount of mis- and dis-information being spread online -- much of it by so-called leaders and partisan media outlets who seek to divide this country for their own political gain. It breaks my heart that families in Los Angeles don’t just have to worry about the fires but also this malicious disinformation as well,” Newsom said in a written statement.
Initial postings on the page took aim at several claims made by Trump about the state's water management, as well as a Fox News report that claims Newsom cut $100 million from the state's fire budget months before the latest wildfires broke out.
"A ridiculous lie. We have doubled the size of our firefighting army, built the world’s largest aerial firefighting fleet, and increased the forest management ten-fold since taking office," Newsom posted on X in response to the report.
"Time to serve these folks the facts," he added.

Will Newsome hire Zuckerberg’s unemployed “faxt-chekurz?”

They’ve already said that. The man’s not e e in office yet and they’re blaming him.
Scuzbags.
It’s my fault and I am going to fix it. You’re fired.
Trump’s fault /s
Lol when commies are caught doing something horrendous they have to come up with web sites to cover their behinds
He knows his presidential chances are in deep trouble. This is part of a desperate attempt to deflect blame elsewhere.
After reading the corrections on all the “lies”, one has to ask: With all those great resources he touts, why then did it happen?
Newsom’s office said there...is no water shortage in California.”
Except in the fire hydrants. This man is a baboon.
“Lucky they have 90% of the media on their side...”
True, but does that really work with a person who has lost their home and every single thing they own?
Newsome gels while LA burns?
You can’t get around it, Newsom - YOU FAILED. The only honorable thing to do is resign.
🚨 The LA Water Chief who is paid $750,000 a year: “What attracted me most to the role was social equity. It’s important for me that everything we do is with an equity lens and social justice and writing the wrongs that we’ve done in the past.” pic.twitter.com/FmlLFsHuba— Autism Capital 🧩 (@AutismCapital) January 11, 2025
The audacity to say she is SO HAPPY that everything is seen through an equity lens raking in a $750,000 salary a year of tax payer money what an utter POS she is!!
Doesn’t matter how great a job you think you did when in reality it was totally ineffective.
Bonus: One aw shit wipes out 10 attaboys.
Time will tell. Prayers for the awakening. For media lies to stop. And for election integrity… (Republicans do better than expected but the ballot harvesting and other shenanigans are extremely common.)
And Trudeau is Canada’s answer to Newsome. Same type, different hairdos.
