President-Elect Donald Trump spoke in Washington, D.C. Wednesday about the leadership failure of Governor Gavin Newsom and California state Democrats which has lead to widespread destruction around the Los Angeles area. He blames Newsom for prioritizing the existence of an endangered fish over being prepared to battle wildfires.
Let’s have a listen. (WATCH)

Trump has been warning California that it needs to end stifling regulations which hinder it from building up the necessary water supply needed to battle wildfires.
Trump has been sounding the alarm for years about the potential problem in California and he was right.

He told them preemptively 4 months ago. Biden and Newsoms policies are to blame. pic.twitter.com/ro4E1VvtVs

Prioritizing a fish over human lives and homes is a complete failure of leadership. California needs water in hydrants, not in the Pacific.

Trump is right it's a tragedy that California lets water go to the ocean while it burns.

There are some things that can’t be controlled, but California has not been doing the many things within its power to prepare for those situations.
Droughts are an act of God.

CA water shortages are on Newsom and the other woke unelected politicians in CA
It’s so sad that prioritizing DEI and environmental nonsense is costing American lives.

This gross weaponized incompetence and mismanagement by CA. Left Governors, Mayors, has led to & is costing lives, homes, businesses, schools and our country billions of dollars over a green & global warming agenda. At this point it is criminally negligent.

And you know that all you’re going to hear from the media is “Trump attacks Newsom amid California wildfires.” They never want to address or criticize the policies that allowed this to be as bad as it is. Why is that I wonder?

California burning is the perfect end to Biden’s presidency.

As expected, ‘journalists’ and their fellow Democrats are choosing to cast Newsom as the victim while he stands along the smoldering devastation caused by his own policies and incompetence. How dare Trump place blame exactly where it belongs! The dying legacy media is figuratively carrying Newsom’s water, too bad they can’t use it to put out the real fires he’s caused.
