Earlier this month, Governor Gavin Newsom found himself at the center of a fiery confrontation amid California’s raging wildfires. He was caught in a precarious scenario with an outraged resident demanding immediate answers regarding his handling of the disaster. The scene unfolded as a Los Angeles mother, whose daughter’s school suffered loss due to the wildfires, approached Newsom. The woman, hailing from Pacific Palisades, passionately begged for his attention, shouting, “Governor! You got a second? Governor! Governor! I live here, Governor! That was my daughter’s school, Governor!” Her urgent plea highlighted the immediate desperation felt by Californians affected by the wildfires.
The confrontation reached its peak when Governor Newsom, preparing to leave via his motorcade, attempted to pacify the woman by insisting he was on the phone with President Joe Biden. “I’m literally talking with the president right now to specifically answer the question of what we could do for you and your daughter,” Newsom claimed. Yet, this assertion proved deceptive. The woman, not easily swayed, challenged his sincerity. She boldly asked, “Can I hear it? Can I hear your call? Because I don’t believe it.”
Unfazed, Newsom continued his ruse, explaining, “I’m sorry, there’s literally, I’ve tried five times. That’s why I’m walking around to make the call.” Despite his insistence, the constituent remained skeptical. She pressed further, “Why isn’t the president taking your call?” This pressure undoubtedly put Newsom in an uncomfortable position. He attempted to justify his apparent failure to connect, suggesting, “Because it’s not going through, so I have to get cell service. There’s no cell service.”
The woman remained persistent. “Let’s get it, let’s get it, I want to be here when you call the president,” she declared. In a bid to distance himself from the situation, Newsom offered, “I appreciate it, I’m doing that right now and it’s to immediately get reimbursements, individual assistance and to help you out. I’m devastated for you, I’m so sorry, especially for your daughter. I have four kids.”
Her determination did not waver, however. She insisted on actionable responses, “Governor, please tell me! What are you gonna do with the president right now? Why was there no water in the hydrants, Governor? Fill the hydrants! I would fill them up personally you know that. I would fill up the hydrants myself. But would you do that?” She received only vague assurances in return. “I would do whatever I can,” Newsom replied. Her frustration boiled over: “But you’re not! But I see — do you know there’s water dripping over there, Governor? There’s water coming out of there, you can use it!”
In the ensuing exchange, Newsom reiterated his commitment, “I appreciate that, I’m gonna make the call to address everything I can right now, including making sure people are safe,” while simultaneously retreating into his motorcade. Later, Rachel Darvish, the archetypal resilient Californian, exposed the reality of the situation. During an interview with Piers Morgan, Darvish disclosed that the governor was not speaking to Biden during the encounter. Instead, Newsom was connected to his wife, showcasing a startling lack of transparency amidst a burning crisis.
"He's a W*NKER!
"He was not on the phone to the President… it was his WIFE."

The liberal media, with its typical bias, made scant mention of this revelatory act by Newsom. Such behavior underscores the prioritization of political optics over genuine crisis management within Democratic leadership. The contrast in leadership styles is telling. Consider the assertive and transparent approach historically championed by leaders like Donald Trump, who emphasize direct action and clear communication during national emergencies. This incident reflects poorly on Newsom and raises doubts about his crisis management capabilities.
