WATCH: Gavin Newsom Blamed Trapped Palisades Residents for Not Evacuating
Breitbart ^ | 02/04/2025 | Joel B. Pollak

Posted on 02/04/2025 6:47:16 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

California Gov. Gavin Newsom blamed trapped residents of the Pacific Palisades for failing to evacuate from the advancing fire on January 7 — apparently not realizing that they were stuck due to government incompetence.

The Los Angeles Times has produced a video documenting the chaotic response to the Palisades Fire, including the haphazard evacuation, which was the result of poor planning and communication by local emergency services.

At 14:14 in the video, corresponding to five hours and twelve minutes after the start of the fire, the narrator notes: “Governor Gavin Newsom is unhappy with what he’s seen on a tour inside the evacuation zone. He holds residents themselves responsible.”

Newsom is shown saying, with considerably irritation: “The fact that people were still not evacuated, still did not heed the warning, were just coming down the canyon, is a reminder of how serious this moment is, and how important it is you listen to these evacuation orders. We’ve all been to memorials. I’ve never been to a memorial for a building.”

So, Gruesome Newsom is a victim also of unfair blame? That dog won’t hunt.

Those wacky Californians. They burn down their state and then the PD allows their freeloader,illegal aliens start setting fires and burning flags all over the place. Californians are bigger freaks than their faggy Mexican illegal aliens.

Didn’t Bush do the same when Katrina victims stayed and didn’t heed warnings and drowned? Or as the parish president said, “She drownded”

I don’t think so Gavin.

Well, clearly if people need to be evacuated from a fire, it’s their fault; they got themselves in the wrong place. He’s just re-iterating the position of the LAFD.

Next up...They should’ve had one of those barrels that collects rain water so they could put out their own fire.

Blame Deflection is all that Nero Newsom and Burnout Bass have ever known.

Wiggling out of responsibility is the signature of their lives.

Rain barrels aren’t enough, but swimming pools are. Look at all the full pools next to burnt out houses. That is the fault of the evacuation, poor planning, and people not taking responsibility.
Every street parallel to the fire line was a fire break. Houses in wildfires are mostly destroyed by embers not the fire’s flames themselves. All the ablebodied men were trained to flee.

In wildfire susceptible areas, thermally activated shutoff valves should protect against the loss of water pressure and the escape of natural gas.

"Believe me, you cannot create a desert, hand a person a cup of water, and call that compassion. You cannot pour billions of dollars into make-work jobs while destroying the economy that supports them and call that opportunity. And you cannot build up years of dependence on government and dare call that hope."

- Ronald Reagan

Gavin’s got to go! Recall#2 must start now to boot him from power even if it causes confusion! Trump should revoke the California State Constitution, depose Gavin, appoint Tucker Carlson as Governor-General until free honest elections can be held and a new government formed—like the southern states after the Civil War.

There’s a valuable lesson from 9/11 and the Kalifornia fires, YOU are always responsible for you and your families safety. How many people died in tower two because they trusted the authorities?
