Gavin Newsom Burns His Own Firefighters, Doug Emhoff Searches for a New Secretary, and WaPo Carries Water for a Sanctioned Terror Financier

Even before the Los Angeles wildfires broke out, 6 in 10 Californians said the state was heading in the wrong direction. Add in the blazes that have since exposed Gavin Newsom's incompetent governing, and it's clear that Newsom's flacks have their work cut out for them.
We can almost sympathize, then, with the Newsom administration’s pathetic response to a deeply sourced report from our Andrew Kerr and Susannah Luthi that detailed Newsom's decision to disband a volunteer firefighting unit known as Team Blaze.
The move left the California National Guard without a complete firefighting force in L.A. for 10 days. We're not the only outlet on the story. And yet Newsom's press team responded not by disputing the facts but by calling Kerr—an award-winning reporter—a "pizzagate peddler." They also called the firefighting unit "inadequately trained."
