BETTER DEAD THAN RUDE: Newsom Continues to Flail, Sends Out Cringe Email Slamming People Who ‘Laugh About Gay Firefighters.’
Newsom earlier Saturday claimed on social media: “I’m not interested in politicizing a natural disaster.” In this email, however, he proceeded to do exactly that:
Now, if you’ll allow me, let me add a few words about Donald Trump, as his allies lie about water policy and laugh about gay firefighters – while people are literally fleeing as homes, churches and schools burn down. It sickens me to my core.
You have probably heard the saying, “A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes” – well, that is especially true right now. We will combat these politically motivated lies. But our focus today isn’t on meme wars, it’s on firefighting. And showing up for Californians who have lost everything.
What exactly did Trump lie about? Notice there are no specifics. Are you saying there were no problems with the water supply, Governor? Tell that to the firefighters in the Palisades, who sometimes had to resort to desperate measures to attack the flames.
Nobody’s “laughing about gay firefighters,” but we are pointing out their self-admitted weaknesses, to borrow from another L.A. institution’s motto, when it comes to protecting and serving L.A.’s citizens:
A woman who can't haul me out — 6'3", 215 lbs — probably can't carry out an obese lesbian either, so we're both in the wrong place, sister. https://t.co/gJc47CQGXH
