Gavin Newsom’s shocking reaction to woman who chased him down to demanding wildfire answers
Gavin Newsom was left searching for answers after being chased by a distraught Los Angeles woman demanding answers over the wildfires ravaging the city.
California’s governor apologized and claimed he was trying to reach the president on the phone when he was accosted by the emotional woman.
However, he could not provide a concrete answer on what was being done in terms of recovery efforts.
“Governor, that was my daughter’s school,” the woman shouted as she ran to Newsom’s car.
“I’m literally talking to the president right now to specifically answer the question of what we can do for you and your daughter,” Newsom responded.
But when the woman asked if she could be present for the call, the governor admitted that he had not yet reached the president.
Gavin Newsom was left searching for answers after he was chased by a distraught Los Angeles woman demanding answers about the wildfires ravaging the city.
“I tried to call five times,” Newsom said, prompting the woman to ask why the president wasn’t answering his call.
“It’s off, I have to make a cell phone call,” he added, and the woman insisted she wanted to be there when he got it.
“I’m devastated for you, I’m so sorry, especially for your daughter,” Newsom said. ‘I have four children, I lose a school…’.
“Everyone who went to school there lost two houses because they lived in one house or the other,” the woman interjected before asking, “Why was there no water in the governor of the fire hydrants?”
As the exchange continued, Newsom promised things would be different “next time,” without specifying any details.
“I would fill the hydrants myself, would you do that?” asked the increasingly uneasy Newsom’s wife, who insisted he do what was necessary.
“But that’s not true!” the resident then exploded, before telling him there was ‘water dripping’ nearby that could be used.
Newsom then began climbing into the vehicle as the woman continued to beg for his contact information.
