"Rather than fighting Trump, Newsom probably should have listened to him. The president-elect repeatedly advised the Democrat governor to clear out forest floors in an attempt to limit wildfires."
"California State Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas (D) was left a sputtering mess responding to a reporter demanding to know why Democrats are holding a special legislative session to combat Donald Trump while wildfires are ravaging Los Angeles.
"Ashley Zavala, capitol correspondent for KCRA-TV, confronted Rivas on why, despite the devastation, he is going through with a special legislative effort designed to find ways to undercut the incoming president.
" 'Is now the right time to have a special legislative session on allocating money to fight Trump in a way that you could already do without a special legislative session?" Zavala wondered.
“ 'Um, so I'm, ya know, I'm here t-to address this, this, uh, you know, these, these, these, these… wildfires. This is a historic wildfire," a flummoxed Rivas replied. "This is a historic event, these wildfires, as I mention, are gonna be quite possibly some of the worst wildfires and disasters in the state and national history.' " . . .
As wildfires rage in Los Angeles, Speaker of California's Assembly Robert Rivas would not answer my questions, if now is the right time to have a special session to legally fight Donald Trump.
