Sometimes, you may forget how utterly shameless Gavivin Newsom is and then he says something like this and it all comes rushing back.
The governor recently bragged, with a straight face, that California is a model for the globe on fire management and that people from all over the world look at what California is doing and try to imitate it.
During the wildfires at the end of 2024, there wasn’t even any water in the reservoirs to fight the flames. And yet, he’s bragging. It’s just amazing.
Townhall reports:
You have to admit that what Gavin Newsom lacks in brains and sound policy he makes up for in sheer hubris. That’s the only reason that Newsom could say with a straight face that his state is a global model for fire management. Perhaps that’s true in a sense; Canada was burning so much that people as far south as Virginia were seeing, smelling, and feeling the impacts.
That’s because Canada, like California, refuses to do basic fire management like clearing brush and old growth. This is nothing to brag about, of course.
But brag Newsom did.
“I can say this with absolute conviction. We don’t imitate; we’re a model for others,” Newsom said. “We have people coming from all over the United States and around the globe to look at what California is doing in orbit, in the air, and on the ground.”

Does Newsom want to brag about California’s rebuilding effort too? How many homes have been rebuilt, three? Four?

Ah, yes, a “model” for the globe. Just ask these Pacific Palisades residents? pic.twitter.com/AkXaeUXy0p

Hey, it’s only been a year and half since the fires, right? Cut the guy some slack.
