No water, no electricity, 0% containment, fired. Next.

Gavin Newsom You are Personally Responsible, you should call out the National Guard to help, and then Resign.

[MarkCurtis-uo]

He politicized it, because you're a politician, Newsome. On top of that, your politics have ruined the state.

[pattyfayejas]

He's talking like the hydrant has its own well, and when it's empty, there's nothing they can do.
Why isn't he saying anything about the millions of dollars that was cut out of the firefighters' budget.
Why doesn't he say anything about the water that's being diverted to the ocean in North California

He wants to deflect it unto Trump, but governor Newsom you were the one in charge of our State of California and you failed miserably . Governor Newson you need to and should resigned.

[sammylucas]

Unbelievably pathetic, he is the reason for this and has the balls to say that. He shouldn't resign, he should be put in prison.

[ceej]

IT SHOULD BE POLITICIZED!! IT IS YOUR JOB AS A POLITICIAN TO PROTECT THOSE PEOPLE!!

[uniwhite]

And you did it ALL . What a great Governor 🤔

[chandlergrubb]

When you see water as politics that's sad

[codylee]

Gavin you try to manipulate people with your phony emotional strings yes people are hurt. Trump and people with sense see this but you made this much worse

[scottkayrouz]

California could have clean water coming out of their ears and so cheap. Trump exposed that during his first presidency. I hope he make California his new special hobby!

[MauriceGiles-ob]

It was your policies Newsom that created this tragedy. Are.we.on the blame Trump bandwagon again.

[Ldkdnncuaqw]

Horrible governor. Destroyed California.

[allenprice]

Newsom needs to be held accountable or there is no accountability

[gabt]

Governor is totally responsible for it. Trump just calling out the obvious.

[SharonOlson-ry]

Tell president leon to use his billions. The tragedy is you got voted in office

[jostrander]

DeSantis isn't so bad compared to this guy.

[andywidholm]

Probably in your best interest to resign and let someone with compassion and a real plan have the next go

[julesarmani]

Do we want this to happen again or not? What would his condolences do for anyone? The man is trying to rally to finally fix the problem.
