But with the memory of the Palisades fire only just in the rear view mirror — and the state’s abject failure to cut away the layers of red tape preventing those who want to from rebuilding — a number of critics found Newsom’s “five-alarm fire” analogy to be a little too on the nose.
“Here’s a tip, Slick. You of all people would be wise not to use fire metaphors in your bulls*** rambling,” actor James Woods observed. “The last ‘five alarm fire’ in California destroyed 16,000 homes and killed 29 people. Thanks solely to you, the commie mayor you support, and your idiot policies. Pipe down.”
“The Code Red is what happened in the Palisades. Who ordered it?? We can handle the truth!” RedState’s Jennifer Van Laar said.
“Does Gavin Newsom know Gavin Newsom’s record in putting out five alarm fires?” Margot Cleveland wondered.
“After what happened in California imagine having so little shame and self-awareness to say Trump’s causing a ‘five-alarm fire,’” Doug Powers said.
