🚨 HOLY CRAP! Trump Interior Sec. Doug Burgum MIC DROPS Gavin Newsom after Gavin blames Trump for his nearly $7 gas prices

"That is SOMETHING coming from California! Under Newsom, California used to have 40 refineries. Now they have 8, 2 MORE are CLOSING!"

"They're going to be down to 6 with Chevron and Valero closing!"

"California is the most energy dependent state in America. 63% of their oil gets imported."

"Now they're going to be importing refined product into San Francisco Bay and into Long Beach every day, just to keep their fleet."

"They have the largest number of internal combustion cars in America, in California, more than any other state even has vehicles. And of course, they've been trying to eliminate those, which then puts us dependent on China."

"I mean, their energy policies are as CRAZY as Europe. And part of the reason why their prices are so high is they've restricted supply and killed their own economy!"

Well, sure he would.

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.

Alinsky’s rules run big in California. Old, stale, predictable, yet still in the media and press as fresh as roses.

Any opponent he has for POTUS will have a field day with all of Newson’s lies and misrepresentations - as even more businesses and billionaires flee the state:

“An estimated $1 trillion in billionaire wealth has already left or is in the process of leaving California...according to reports from Fortune.”

“Yamaha Announces it’s Leaving California for Georgia After 50 Years as Californians Debate Implementing ‘Wealth Tax’”

We already know the media will be on the side of the Democrat.

"... they've restricted supply and killed their own economy!"

That is the goal of traitorous Demonicrats like Newscum - kill the economy and destroy the United States.

“He’s too stupid to know he’s set his own ass on fire.”

Almost literally, since it’s his policies that deprived the Palisades of needed water for fire fighting and ahve made it nearly impossible formthe burnedoiurnresodents to get building permits to rebuild.

Sacramento has another looming disaster, from January...

Nevada Moves to Break Reliance on California Fuel Supplies With about 86 percent of its transportation fuel imported from California and refinery closures looming, state leaders launched a Fuel Resiliency Committee to address supply vulnerabilities.

California will shortly be impoverished and begging the feds for ‘emergency’ funds when they finally run out of other people’s money.

Oh but it's been wonderful for energy company major stockholders.

Almost literally, since it’s his policies that deprived the Palisades of needed water for fire fighting and made it nearly impossible for the burned out residents to get building permits to rebuild. After all, interim housing assistance only lasts so long under must homeowners insurance policies.

California is little Mexico.

The Mexican invasion for the last 50 years has utterly destroyed that state. Arizona and is next and then Nevada.

Texas is their ultimate goal since turning Texas into a rat state will ensure all the USA will become governed by the Mexican leaches, parasites and drug cartels.

Newscums plan is that CA is too big to fail, the federal gov will be forced to come to CA’s aid, a bailout, when conditions get really bad.

And, due to piss poor planning on Nevada’s part, northern Nevada is paying the price for depending on the undependable state of cali. Reno prices are nearing $5.00/gal again. And it sure as crap isn’t because of the kerfuffle in Iran.

Yes, and we in AZ and NV are innocent victims of California folly.
Unfortunately, we get our gas from Ca and end up paying for that folly without voting for it!

“””””They’re going to be down to 6 with Chevron and Valero closing!””””


No indication as to which Chevron refinery is closing.

El Segundo and Richmond are both big refineries.

On the bright side Californians will be more healthy as they will now have to walk to work, school, or the grocery store.
