Actress Justine Bateman called for California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) to be removed “before something worse happens here.”
In a statement on X, Bateman urged Californians to “see the lack of sincerity, the dismissiveness, the dedication to pretentiousness, and the dereliction of care for the citizens of California.” She noted that Newsom “has always demonstrated this. In every video.”
“You cannot trust this kind of person with any role, and especially not one upon which our wellbeing depends. Gavin Newsom needs to be removed, before something worse happens here,” Bateman said.
“If you can’t cover the basics, get out of our city,” Bateman told Fox News’ Jesse Watters, referring to California leaders. “You are useless to us, you are a liability, and you destroyed people’s lives because you didn’t do your job. You didn’t do what you were hired for, you didn’t do what we paid you for, and you should resign.”
Actor Zachary Levi also spoke with Jesse Watters earlier this month, calling for Democrat leaders, specifically Newsom, 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.”
“They must be held responsible,” he 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?”
