Actor Zachary Levi spoke with Jesse Watters of Fox News, calling for Democrat leaders, specifically Governor Gavin Newsom (D), to be held accountable for the California fires.
“This is just incredible mismanagement, incredibly poor leadership. I would go so far as to say that it’s criminally negligent,” Levi said. “Gavin Newsom has been either the governor for five years or lieutenant governor prior to that for eight, nine years. Some of the worst fires we’ve ever had in California under that watch. He clearly knows that the biggest problem that we suffer in California are these fires and by the way the mudslides that follow. And for them to do essentially not just nothing, but worse than nothing, when firefighter budgets are being cut, when they are specifically, intentionally not doing the work that could be done to avoid these problems, or to be able to effectively serve them when they are happening.”
“We are losing, I think it’s something like millions of acres of feet of water runoff rain and snow every year in California,” Levi continued, adding that the water “could be captured in cisterns, we could have an ecosystem of hoses and safety measures that could keep all these homes and people in these homes safe.”
“And for some reason, they choose to do none of that,” he said. “At some point, it goes beyond just ‘whoopsie.’ At some point, it goes beyond negligence. There’s something that’s almost criminally intentional about this.”
“They must be held responsible,” Levi added. “This is not good leadership. This is the man who, in the middle of the pandemic when people were being locked up for going and gathering together, he was at the French Landry having dinner with his friends. What does that say about the character of this man who is doing nothing to help the people of California?”
