California woman confronts Gavin Newsom over lack of water to fight wildfires

As Newsom was walking towards his SUV, a woman who said she lived in the neighborhood confronted him, asking what he’s going to do to help. "That was my daughter’s school," she said.

Newsom pointed to his phone, claiming that he was "literally talking with the president right now," gesturing towards his phone, "to specifically answer the question of what we can do for you and your daughter."

The woman asked to listen in on the call, saying, "Can I hear your call, cause I don’t believe it." Newsom said he’s tried "five times" to call, which was why he was "walking around, to try and make the call."

"Why is the president not taking your call?" the woman asked. Newsom said it was because the call wasn’t going through.

The woman later questioned why there was no water in the fire hydrants and whether things "are going to be different next time." Newsom said, "It has to be."

"What are you going to do to fill up the hydrants? I would fill them up personally, you know that," she said, adding, "but would you do that?" The woman pleaded with Newsom for any answers on what help he's going to give, but Newsom got into his SUV to leave.

Newsom has come under fire by President-elect Donald Trump, who has blamed the California leader for the wildfires that have burned tens of thousands of acres since Tuesday. Newsom has claimed that Trump is politicizing the disaster by criticizing California's climate change policies.
