The Los Angeles fires are raging on and now Brentwood is in danger.
People’s anger at California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass is growing. As we reported, Newsom was confronted by a desperate mom who wanted to know what he was going to do, telling him her daughter’s school had just burnt down. Newsom’s response? He was on the phone with Joe Biden. But then when she asked to join the call, Newsom claimed he wasn’t able to reach Biden because of reception. He did end up having one of his aides give her a contact number for help. She was not convinced.
“Why was there no water in the hydrants, Governor?!”

Now that woman, Rachel Darvish, is speaking out more on the interaction. As Townhall reported, she spoke with Fox’s Bill Melugin and nailed Newsom with what she had to say. You can see the fire on the screen in the background advancing on Brentwood. It’s crazy they still can’t get a handle on it after days.

Darvish said he made her feel “irrelevant,” but more importantly, he was irrelevant because he wasn’t on the phone with Biden as he claimed. She said he showed her his phone, so she was able to see that the first call was not to the White House and that at that moment there was no call on the line.
“It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure it out,” she said. “So thank you, Gov. Newsom, for that amount of respect that you had for me in that moment. I don’t appreciate it.” She then went on to call out the continual “bungling upon bungling” of Newsom and Bass, the failure of the fire hydrants, the lack of water, and how trucks couldn’t reach areas.
She also spoke to Jesse Watters on Fox News.
Rachel Darvish is the woman who confronted Gavin Newsom about his failures with the fires.
She correctly says that, “It’s time for something new. It doesn’t have to be an R, it doesn’t have to be a D. Why can’t it be someone who knows what they’re doing?”

“It’s time for something new. It doesn’t have to be an R, it doesn’t have to be a D. Why can’t it be someone who knows what they’re doing? That knows how to plan?” Darvish asked. “Ask a mom,” she suggested. “That’s all we do.” She agreed with Watters that any mom would probably do better than Newsom.
Amen. It’s a simple thought. Unfortunately, with Democratic leadership, someone who knows what they’re doing seems to be in short supply. And Gavin Newsom seemed more concerned about snuffing out “misinformation” — translation: stopping anyone who might criticize him — than truly dealing effectively with the fires.
