Gavin Newsom Asked Why Fire Hydrants Are Dry…Says He Doesn't Know…Local People Have To Figure It Out

Posted • January 9, 2025: Did California Gov. Gavin Newsom understand that the optics when making this statement were atrocious? The state's political leadership is at fault for the fiasco in Los Angeles County, where wildfires are raging. Over 30,000 acres have been torched, 1,000 buildings destroyed, at least five lives lost, and none of these blazes are contained. A fire erupted on Hollywood Hills last night, placing the heart of Los Angeles in harm’s way. Trump Was Right Again… https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Gg0SsEhW4AAgg9d?format=jpg&name=medium -- President-elect Donald J. Trump has blamed California for not taking the necessary measures to prepare for wildfires. The state’s obsession with saving some minnow led to hydrants having no water. Mayor Karen Bass wasn’t even in the country when the blaze started. So let me get this straight: • Fire Dept sent supplies to Ukraine. • Cut their budget by $17.5M • Mayor was in Africa as the city burned. • Refused to fill reservoirs, to save minnows. • They’re short on firefighters after pushing DEI. This is what incompetence looks like.

So, how many Los Angeles firefighters lost their jobs over COVID shot mandates? https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ggzasv5XMAESOwi?format=jpg&name=large —— Mike Brock🇺🇸 @brockm: “I am watching the Hollywood Hills burn. Not far from my home. And I am overcome with rage and contempt that our President-elect is berating our mayor and governor rather than showing some solidarity with the citizens of this country he claims to love.” https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Gg0TzUSaMAECGQb?format=jpg&name=large —— —— Sean Davis @seanmdav : “Karen Bass is your mayor, Gavin Newsom is your governor, Adam Schiff and Alex Padilla are your senators, Kamala Harris is your vice president, and Joe Biden is your president, and this is somehow Donald Trump’s fault? Get help.”

Newsom held his tongue when commenting on Trump’s remarks about his state’s total and abject failure in dealing with this crisis, adding that he stood by Joe Biden, which was an honor and whatever platitudes there are for a man who Democrats claim to love so much that they kicked him off the 2024 ticket. Newsom saying all of this as homes burned to the ground in the background perfectly captures the Democrat incompetence that’s plaguing the response to this natural disaster. Of course, it was CNN's Anderson Cooper who asked the question. Newscum trash talks President Trump to Anderson Cooper. The same guy who calls for a gun grab as kids die in school shootings says Trump is “politicizing” wildfires. California governor Gavin Newsom is asked why the fire hydrants have no water. Says he doesn’t know, local people will have to figure it out. California “leadership” is a disgrace.

What an embarrassing dereliction of duty. He has the authority to at least push for reliable information and give people answers. Is he not interested in why this is a problem? Would he like to help correct it? This is the exact opposite of leadership. Also, Ms. Bass's cutting nearly $20 million from the fire department months before these blazes was not wise, especially when presented with a memo indicating that such cuts could be devastating regarding disaster response.
