A California mother who went viral for confronting Gavin Newsom over his handling of the Los Angeles fires said she was stunned by his response to her criticism.
Rachel Darvish told Fox News she was furious with the California governor after she confronted him and witnessed his struggle to provide a coherent explanation.
Newsom claimed he had been trying to reach President Biden by phone but was unable to get cell service—a claim Darvish argued highlighted his broader mismanagement of the crisis.
“There was no cellphone reception in certain areas, but that’s a big problem in and of itself,” Darvish told host Jesse Watters. “Why doesn’t he have a satellite truck? The fact that he couldn’t get cell reception was really frustrating.”
Her concerns mirror those of many Los Angeles residents who have criticized the response to the wildfires, which have already claimed at least 10 lives and destroyed more than 10,000 homes and buildings, including consuming the ritzy Pacific Palisades neighborhood and the multimillion-dollar homes of many celebrities.
