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.

CYA, All the way...

[bimboeruption]

Newsom is California’s answer to Trudeau.

[Nextrush]

Those burned out neighborhoods are really from World War II in Japan and Germany right...

[lapsus calami]

 

 

Was this all misinformation and disinformation too about 6 six years ago, back in 2019?

The fire is STILL ongoing and this hair-gel brain’s first priority is to stop his career from burning.

[RckyRaCoCo]

Can dish it out but they can't take it...must be a rule for radicals or something.

Lucky they have 90% of the media on their side to always facilitate their CYA.

[Qwapisking]

MISINFORMATION! Straight up.

[ifinnegan]

What does this do for helping things in real life, real time?

Nothing.

His priorities are out of whack.

[freebird5850]

But the fact that the reservoirs were dry remains...

All you have to do to learn about how bad Newsome handled these fires is look at the three leaders of the fire department. All three have no firefighting experience. They all have degrees in DEI. It's amazing to me. Three overweight lesbians who have no experience fighting fires are put in charge of a huge fire department. The three of them can wipe their wide asses with those degrees. They are worthless for fighting fires. The chief makes almost $500K per year and the deputy chiefs make close to the same amount. That's $1.5 million a year to diversity and $0 for fighting fires. I would love to see the chief and her two deputies strap on an air tank and walk up a hill to fight a small brush fire. I don't think they would have made much progress. They would probably need oxygen and water before making it to the flames.

“ The fire is STILL ongoing and this hair-gel brain’s first priority is to stop his career from burning.”

Exactly.

Despicable.

[AndyJackson]

ITS ALL TRUMPS FAULT.

[Sacajaweau]

So the pictures are phony?? Because you can say anything you want...it won’t change “What Is”.

[xp38]

Remain calm! All is well!

[Ge0ffrey]

And NBC is going to help.

[silent majority rising]

I would believe him more if he just shaved his head.

[Brilliant]

So he’s not denying that he cut $100 million then?
