Gavin Newsom confronted by LA fires survivor as he fumbles phone call to Biden​


California Governor Gavin Newsom was caught in the middle of a heated exchange with a Los Angeles fire victim, as he fumbled over whether he was on the phone with President Joe Biden.

The fires, fueled by powerful Santa Ana winds, have destroyed over 10,000 structures and forced more than 170,000 people to evacuate.

The incident unfolded after the woman, who said she had experienced major losses due to the fires, demanded answers from the governor as he visited the disaster zone.

"That was my daughter's school, Governor," she said, pointing to a burnt structure. She added: "Please tell me what you're going to do about this."

Newsom, holding his phone, responded: "I am literally talking to the president right now to specifically answer the question of what we can do for you and your daughter."

The woman, visibly upset, further pressed him. "Can I hear it? Can I hear your call? Because I don't believe it!"

Newsom, visibly caught in his lie, replied: "I can't-it doesn't-uh, I'm sorry, there's literally-I've tried five times. That's why I'm walking around to make the call."

When the woman asked why Biden was not taking his call, Newsom responded saying: "Because it's not going through. I have to get cell service. There's no cell service."

Determined, the woman urged him: "So let's get it. Let's get it. I want to be here when you call the president."

Newsom declined and reiterated that he was already trying to reach the president. The woman then shifted to another pressing concern.

"Why was there no water in the hydrants, Governor?" she asked. "I would fill up the hydrants myself-would you do that?"

 
It’s a shame Newsome caused this drought during rainy season and high winds. California hasn’t been known to have forest fires for its entire existence.

Listen to what you are saying...and ask why entire neighborhoods are burning down in LA counties 3 layers deep or more. You may realize what you sound like.
 
What else is Newsome supposed to do in this situation that he’s not? This dumb bitch “demands answers” because a school burned in one of the most wildfire prone regions in the world? You MAGAts sound even dumber than usual.
Willing to bet you'd feel different if your crib had been torched in these fires. "Well golly, what else is Newcum supposed to do in this situation he's not?"

I’m sure I’d be pissed off too. But objectively, what exactly is he supposed to be doing right now that he’s not?

Do they have unused fire fighting equipment? Any firefighters on the sidelines that should be in the action? Any stones left unturned when asking federal government or neighboring states for assistance?

If you can say the answer to any of those is yes, then I’d love to hear it.

He can start by not lying to fire victims.

Ok then. What would you do? Because I'm sure all of you MAGA's would totally not throw a shit fit if he went through and removed all vegetation and demolished all fire prone homes in the name of preventing massive fires. Just once I'd like to see conservatives actually try to deal with a problem rather than just find someone to point the finger at and blame while they watch disaster happen and do nothing.
 
Why would lies bother you magats? Isn't that what you love? To support the biggest liars known to mankind and then you spread their lies. I would call you hypocrites but that terminology is much too nice for magats.
Willing to bet you wanted to work for FEMA so you could stick it to DT supporters.

Stop providing addicts with drugs and have those funds going to solutions for the next ones.

Well that's pretty random. I didn't realize the only thing stopping them from controlling the weather was from some obscure drug program that I've never heard of and don't even know if it exists.

But you still haven't actually provided a solution. You just deflected to some other policy that you disagree with. What would you have done to prevent these fires?

Gotten access to more water and resources. As with another poster, you do your research and decide if he could’ve done more to help how we got here.

Access to water hasn’t been the issue. The problem is that they’re going through the water so quickly that supply can’t keep up with demand.

LOL. Sure, sure, sure. I guess the magic water fairy that lives in Disneyland's castle should have been called in for help, right? Maybe the Democrats should have used those weather controlling devices they used on Hurricane Helene to help out.

Maybe if he would have just used a sharpie to draw on a map where the fire should go that would have fixed everything.

Why did they not access the water supply reserved for the smelt?

We know Cali fires and droughts are common year in and year out.

Not totally disagreeing with you, why didn't they do something about it earlier?

Because it’s hard to plan for every single contingency?

What was in place was more than sufficient for your average residential or smaller wildfire. I’d imagine it’s really difficult to have everything everywhere prepped to deal with wildfires on this scale.

Not good enough, will they do something about it now? How long will they wait?

They have an entire system of canals and reservoirs designed to funnel water from Northern California to southern California. Until recently those reservoirs were dangerously low. But even when they are full it still takes time to get the water from where it is stored to where it is needed. There isn't a location in the country that has the ability to stop the kinds of fires that hit LA. You are griping about an act of God...or arson I guess, depending on how it started. There isn't anything reasonable that could have been done that already wasn't being done.

Where you should be looking to bitch is how the response to a disaster goes. So far, the current President-elect's moves have been to bitch and complain about shit that was impossible to prevent. But we all know how he responds to crisis situations so the shit show is just getting started. Rather than working the problem he's just going to do what he can do to make it worse. I guess we know which side of the "part of the problem or part of the solution" equation you fall into.

Since I don't live there and was not impacted, maybe we should gauge the people that have lost their homes and businesses. I'm sure they are on the same side you are on.

I’m sure they will do something as soon as they can.

I don’t get what your gripe is other than seemingly wanting someone to blame.

California has been investing more and more resources into firefighting, prevention, etc for years. But that all still takes time and manpower, and you have to prioritize and take the highest risk areas first, and go from there.

This is an unprecedented situation, happening at both time and place you wouldn’t normally expect to see this happen. The winds have made fighting this fire incredibly hard.

Do you have anything where you specifically think they dropped the ball, or just complaining that everything wasn’t ready for something they’ve not encountered before?
 
Enlighten us, Fire Marshall Bill.
Haha, start with all the environmental crap that prevents sound forestry policies. Or next we can discuss the water flow, or lack thereof, all to save a fish.

Those would be two good ones to start with. But not my house burning. If the California dems are good with this and want to keep it going, good luck!

I'm not on a side other than the side of competence, something that can't even begin to be measured yet beyond the things I've already mentioned. But you are trying to blame anyone with a D by their name before the crisis is even over. It's fricken ridiculous and just shows that it doesn't matter how well something is run, as long as you can rage against a Democrat you are happy and you will never hold the cult leader to an ounce of the same standard that you hold everyone else to. Because it isn't about results for you, it's about blame and rage. If it were about results no one would ever vote for a Republican.
