After posting an Instagram photo of California Governor Gavin Newsom at the picture of the devastating Palisades Fire, which has caused thousands of people in Los Angeles County, he is receiving severe censure. Liberals and political critics have criticized accusations that the horror was used as a “photo op”
Critics attack on Newsom’s answer
The contentious” Composites of TikTok” accounts led the charge, composing,” Gavin Newsom has arrived for the photo op of him watching his position burn to the ground”. Popular traditional bill Breaking 911 joined in, posting, “JUST IN: California Gov. When Gavin Newsom arrived at the scene of the Walls blaze, he put his hands in his back hands.
Another highlighted long-standing concerns over California’s system projects. Ari Hoffman, a television host, brought up a ballot measure from a decade ago when he said:” California voters approved a ballot measure to have more ocean storage built & Gavin Newsom still hasn’t done it. In the process, the Pacific Ocean receives thousands of litres of rain and snow.
Trump blames Newsom for fire
Previous President Donald Trump, who has a record of criticizing Newsom’s light control, added fuel to the fire. In a Truth Social article, Trump wrote,” Governor Gavin Newscum refused to sign the water repair charter… Then the final price is being paid. He wanted to protect an essentially worthless bass called a smelt… No waters for fire extinguishers, no firefighting flights. A real catastrophe”!
Trump’s statement comes as at least four fire trend across Los Angeles County, including the Pacific Palisades and Sylmar districts, threatening luxurious houses and forcing 30, 000 citizens to leave.
Newsom declares a state of emergency
Governor Newsom, who declared a state of emergency Tuesday, addressed the rapidly growing Walls Fire in a assertion:” This is a very dangerous storm that’s creating severe fire danger – and we’re not out of the trees. Our sincere thanks to our skilled first responders and firefighters.
However, his critics remained unmoved. Trump’s post further echoed past remarks, including a 2018 threat to withhold federal funding unless California improved its forest management. At the time, Trump declared,” There is no reason for these massive, deadly and costly forest fires in California except that forest management is so poor”.
The climate debate
Newsom and Democrats continue to attribute California’s wildfires to climate change, with Newsom previously dismissing Trump’s attacks, saying in 2019,” You don’t believe in climate change. You are excused from this conversation”.
