Trump blamed the fires on California Governor Gavin Newsom’s water policies, while Musk said the blazes spread because of the fire department’s focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion programs.
As fires rage across Los Angeles and tens of thousands flee their homes, the usual suspects have decided to blame the blazes on their political enemies. In a series of posts on Truth Social, President-elect Donald Trump claimed firefighters’ inability to get the fires under control was due to California Governor Gavin Newsom’s water policies, including an effort to “protect an essentially worthless fish called a smelt, by giving it less water .
“The Governor is focused on protecting people, not playing politics, and making sure firefighters have all the resources they need.” Mark Gold, a board member of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, told the outlet that statewide water management policies, including efforts to protect the delta smelt, had nothing to do with the lack of water in the hydrants.
