After California Gov. Gavin Newsom posted an Instagram Story of himself coming to the scene of the Palisades Fire, many criticized him for using the tragedy as a “photo op” while blaming him for the tragedy.

“Gavin Newsom has arrived for the photo op of him watching his state burn to the ground,” controversial account Libs of TikTok wrote alongside the video.

Popular conservative X account Breaking 911 mocked Newsom for showing up to the fire.

“JUST IN: California Gov. Gavin Newsom has showed up to the scene of the Palisades fire to put his hands in his back pockets,” it said.

“Gov Newsom poses for cameras with hands in pockets as fire engulfs homes,” another account wrote.

I know many people wanted to know what the Mayor of Los Angeles was doing in Ghana during the fire.

I found her—doing a rain dance!:

Now if they tied him to a stake downwind of the fire it would make a great photo op

How much more do Californians have to be shown that voting Democrat is a total disaster?

All those wealthy white liberals in Pacific Palisades who thought that the things they voted would never personally affect them better think again.

Yet, we know the environmentalist kooks will blame global warming for these fires. They’re already doing it now.

Too bad he wasn’t close enough to have a couple of floating embers land in his hair... with all that product, he’d light up like a Christmas tree.

He had to - his uber-wealthy fund-raisers live there or in the immediate area (Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Hollywood Hills).

He doesn’t want to lose those $10,000/plate dinners they put on for his campaign war chest.

Grusome Newsom is a bigger D-Head than Pedo Joe. Gas went up 25 cents a gallon today at Sam’s. I guess it’s Comandante Joe Pedo’s final salute to Jimmah Cartah as their National Tours come to an end.

If it was me I would have grabbed a hose. DeSantis ought to fly out and do so.
