Typical Democrat. His policies directly resulted in the lack of water to fight wildfires, and when the inevitable disaster happens he blames someone else.
I hope Democrats run this guy in 2028 so we can see another Republican landslide.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom passed the blame on to ālocal folksā when grilled over fire hydrants running out of water during the raging Pacific Palisades fire ā and said he couldnāt even respond to President-elect Donald Trumpās accusations that he mismanaged the stateās water supply.
Newsom, in an interview with CNNās Anderson Cooper, said local officials need to figure out why the hydrants in Los Angeles ran dry and left firefighters helpless as countless homes burned down in the ritzy neighborhood overnight into Wednesday.
āLook, the local folks are trying to figure that out,ā he told Cooper, who asked about the hydrant situation.
āI mean when you have a system ā but itās not dissimilar from what weāve seen in other extraordinarily large-scale fires, whether it be pipe, electricity, or whether it just be the complete overwhelm of the system,ā Newsom rambled on.
āI mean those hydrants are typical for two or three fires ā maybe one fire and you have something of this scale, but again thatās gonna be determined by the local.ā
All three of the 1 million-gallon water tanks that supply hydrants in Pacific Palisades were empty by 3 a.m. Wednesday, according to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power.
Fueled by the Santa Ana winds, the Palisades Fire and two other massive blazes have devoured full neighborhoods, leveling thousands of homes, businesses and schools in their paths.
Both Newsom and local government officials, like Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, have been blasted for alleged mismanagement that may have worsened the devastation.
