Fire Time

Come what may, campaigning goes on:

So far Newsom has reacted to the California wildfires in his usual patented manner by… 1. Getting into petty squabbles with critics 2. Calling for an “independent investigation” into who is running the state 3. Pretending to be on the phone with Biden when approached by a woman seeking help 4. Launching a campaign website to give people the “facts” about the fires. This doesn’t mean a website tracking fires or providing useful recovery information, but a website to fight ‘disinformation’ or what he called “hurricane-force winds of disinformation” on a Zoom call with Biden. Rather than focus on fighting the fires, Gov. Newsom launched a ‘disinformation website’ that appears to double as a campaign website. On top of that the donate link used by Newsom’s website (and a number of other Dem politicians including Sen. Elizabeth Warren) goes through ActBlue which harvests a 3.95% processing fee and the information of the donors.

They're burning it up, so to speak...
