Gov. Gavin Newsom slams Trump's disinformation about California wildfires
NBC News | Comcast ^ | January 12, 2025 | By Alexandra Marquez (D-NBC)

Posted on 01/12/2025 10:40:30 AM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

California Gov. Gavin Newsom blasted President-elect Donald Trump’s response to the California wildfires in an interview on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” recorded Saturday, saying, “Mis- and disinformation I don’t think advantages or aids any of us.”

Newsom appeared to be referring to Trump’s posts on Truth Social blasting Newsom, President Joe Biden and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass since the fires broke out Tuesday.

In one post, the president-elect baselessly claimed Newsom had blocked a measure that would have allowed water to flow from Northern California to Southern California.

“Responding to Donald Trump’s insults, we would spend another month,” Newsom told NBC News’ Jacob Soboroff. “I’m very familiar with them. Every elected official that he disagrees with is very familiar with them.”

He added that Trump was “somehow connecting the delta smelt to this fire, which is inexcusable because it’s inaccurate. Also, incomprehensible to anyone that understands water policy in the state.”

Newsom cited Trump’s past efforts to withhold federal disaster aid from states with leaders he was feuding with.

“He’s done it in Utah. He’s done it in Michigan, did it in Puerto Rico. He did it to California back before I was even governor, in 2018,” Newsom said.

“So he’s been at this for years and years and years. It transcends the states, including, by the way, Georgia he threatened similarly. So that’s his style. And we take it seriously to the extent that in the past it’s taken a little bit more time [to get federal aid],” the governor added.

Newsom was heard to say: “Trump can’t use disinformation until our disinformation is in place first.”

He certainly is a talkative son of a gun now that he has his strategy figured out. He’s on the offensive, lol, since his actions are indefensible.

SMH.

And, predictably, NBC joins the chorus of “Trump’s fault”. They’re not fooling anyone, they know they’re not fooling anyone, and they’re at it anyway. Tough to break bad habits.

Unless we can get another 4 years of Trump it will be Ron DeSantis or JD Vance either way Newsom is surrendering before he even comes to bat. What a nitwit I hope his house also burns down along with Kamala’s and Nancy Pelosi’s house burn down....

GOOD. Maybe the spineless GOPe will realize they need to play by the rules the democrats have established. Everything is political and as they say, “never let a crisis go to waste.” Hammer those useless clowns in California and make as much political hay as possible. Are the democrats without sin when it comes to politicizing disasters? Like COVID? The attacks on 9-11-2001? Hurricane Katrina? All the other hurricanes? Everything that can be used to politically DESTROY the democrats must be used. Send them to the political graveyard forever. They are evil destructive civilization destroying marxists who bring nothing but death and destruction to everything good and holy.

Very simple truth/fact: California is located next to the largest body of water in the world, but ran out of water before a fire happened.

Just a rewording of the Milton Friedman quote about sand the desert.
