Governor Gavin Newsom criticized President-elect Trump's attempt to politicize the life-threatening crisis of the ongoing wildfires in Southern California, calling the accusations "pure fiction." Newsom emphasized the urgent human struggles, stating, "People are literally fleeing. People have lost their lives. Kids lost their schools, families completely torn asunder, churches burned down. This guy wanted to politicize it." His remarks underscored the devastating impacts of the fires and the inappropriateness of partisan blame during such a crisis.
In response to Trump's accusation regarding a water restoration declaration, Newsom's office firmly rejected the claims, asserting that the narrative spun by the president-elect was baseless. Newsom expressed frustration at the politicization of such a severe disaster, stressing the urgency of the situation for Californians affected by the wildfires. He made clear that his focus remains on supporting those whose lives have been upended rather than engaging in political turmoil.
