While California Burns, Gavin Newsom Begs Biden To Silence ‘Disinformation’
The Federalist ^ | January 10, 2025 | Logan Washburn

Posted on 01/10/2025 11:09:35 PM PST by MinorityRepublican

Wildfires, fueled by strong winds, are destroying Los Angeles. Meanwhile, Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom is begging President Joe Biden to silence “hurricane-force winds of mis- and disinformation.”

“It breaks my heart as people are suffering and struggling that we’re up against those hurricane force, forces as well,” Newsom said on Friday in a video call with Biden. “I ask you, we’ve got to deal with this misinformation.”

Never mind the actual winds that swept wildfires from the perimeter of Los Angeles to destroy suburban neighborhoods. Still, Newsom expressed concern that “misinformation” could harm Californians.

“It infects real people that are out there,” Newsom told the president. “And they’re having conversations that are not the typical conversations you’d have at this time.”

Newsom apparently finds it unusual that people would discuss the possibility that government actions may have contributed to the spread of the wildfire when flames are engulfing their homes and livelihoods.

“You wonder where this stuff comes from, and it’s very damaging as well,” Newsom said. “But we’re here to get the job done.”

He’s getting the job done all right. Burning it straight to the ground and moving all those rich white honkies outta there. Replacing them with Venezuelan gangs. I hope his hair gel lights on fire.

Aw, that’s cute. Poor little Gav is the only person in room to have not figured out that the days are over for social media doing the censorship dirty work of Biden’s stooges. That ship has sailed.

Newsom and that lesbian mayor need to be tarred and feathered and then keelhauled until the end of time.

People shouldn’t talk about government. Government is always right, and the people always wrong. There should be laws to shut them up!

Comedian Whitney Cummings slams the LAFD ‘s ‘lesbian’ leadership: video

Whitney Cummings joined a chorus of critics slamming the Los Angeles Fire Department for placing diversity, equity and inclusion programs over the safety of residents as apocalyptic wildfires cause mass destruction in Southern California.

She accused the “lesbian” leadership of only hiring within their “dating pool.”

“Wait, all the people in charge of LA’s fire response are lesbians named Kirstin?” the stand-up comedian and actress said in a video posted to X Friday afternoon.

In the video, Cummings displayed a X post calling out LAFD Chief Kristin Crowley, Assistant Chief Kristina Kepner, and Equity Bureau Chief Kristine Larson.

“I do not recall voting on a prop that said we could recruit our fire team off Grindr. What?!”

The “2 Broke Girls” creator, who shared an emotional video of her evacuating her LA home on Friday, slammed the agency’s attempt to only recruit members of the LGBTQ+ community.

“Talking about recruiting more lesbians into the LAFD to be firefighters,” she said.

“I think lesbians can be firefighters...I’m not thinking about your genitals or your preferences when I need a hero...but why is it OK?”

She compared the recruitment efforts to a woman requesting more “hot guys” to be firefighters.

You mean like the fake evacuation texts? Yeah, it would be great to know who sent those out.

It’s secret code for “Save me Biden from my critics”.

I wonder how newsome compares to previous California governors for most amount of Californians killed by incompetent leadership. Between poverty, covid19, crime and now fire, he must be raking up quite a tally.

This is AP.

Omg.

Some bigwig at AP must have gotten their house burned down—you can feel the anger.

Mel Gibson’s msg. to Newsom, “buy less hair gel!”.

What Gibson said is not misinformation. See fox news interview.

Does Newsom realize that in 10 days, Bidon wont be in a position to initiate censorship?

What a lameass.

He was told only a few years ago by a President to get his ducks in a row to prevent fires. He ignored that good advice.

Misinformation bs.
