Newsom slams McCarthy for failing to address California flood emergency
The Hill ^ | 05/18/2023 | SHARON UDASIN

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) is pointing a finger at Republican lawmakers for their failure to respond to a flood emergency that is inundating their districts of the Golden State.

In a stern letter sent to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and Rep. David Valadao (R-Calif.), Newsom reminded the legislators that local leaders have been warning with “great urgency” that their “constituents are ‘in a path of destruction’ from floodwaters.”

Kevin has what do to with this exactly? Maybe I am missing something?

Isn’t usually the president that rushes aid into stricken areas?

Uh if Cali can think they can pay $3M to black people per person for reparations they can afford their own recovery from disasters.

It is really very simple.

Gavin is upset that the Federal Government is not spending billions, that his state government is avoiding due to mismanagement of funds, to correct flooding problems caused by his party’s mismanagement of flood and water resources.

His failures. His party’s failures. All are supposed to be mitigated by taxpayers of other states.

Hey, Newsom you idiot: it’s your problem for tearing down all the dams and spillways, so call Joey Bidet&Co at the WH, and get some help. The US House has nothing to do with your self-made problems.

The proper response:

Dear Gov Newsome,
PUT THE PIPE DOWN and try to stay sober for a change, everyone knows that man made Global Warming has prevented it from ever raining in California, see Jerry Brown

Newscum is confused over who's the president and how neglected Red State have been after disasters by Democrats.

As long as Joe’s basement is not taking in water, a little flooding is the kind of thing that builds character. Besides, Gavin can just borrow from the reparations funds to fix local flooding issues in California. Maybe he should build a place to store all of that water before the next drought comes along and he wants federal money to take of that for him..

His Congressional District includes parts of the areas affected. Newsome is trying to make voters in the district feel as if McCarthy isn’t bringing home enough federal bacon to bail out state problems.

The areas in question have been subject to massive snow melt since the dawn of time. Who messed up and located prisons and other infrastructure in the flood path?

Biden has a phone and a pen. He can do whatever he wants. Has Newsome declared a state of emergency yet?

When sane people ran Cali... They built reservoirs and run-off channels to help manage the water situation in the more arid and flood prone parts of the State.

Since the Socialist Left took over, they’ve tried to let things “return to nature” and are now in an endless cycle of drought or flood.

F*ck them. If they weren’t trying to go full Commie, they’d have enough money to fix this...

Hey Gavin!

Kevin is waiting for you to explain your water storage plan to thank God for this gift, amidst California's drought.

Yes. All over the state. The feds have also declared state of emergencies all over the state. I don’t have to pay my taxes until Oct! With no penalties to boot!
