See what happens when you ask Ai to spit some truth? who should I believe … ChatGPT (sorry, @grok ) or your webpage? I’ll let others be the judge. 🤷♀️
The California Fire Facts webpage launched by Gavin Newsom’s team is misleading because it fails to address the documented $100 million cut from wildfire prevention programs in the 2024 budget.
Let’s fact-check the claims:
1.“CA did NOT cut our firefighting budget.”
•False. The $100 million reduction from wildfire prevention programs in 2024 is well-documented in public records, including reports by CalMatters and The New York Post. These funds were explicitly earmarked for forest management and wildfire prevention but were diverted during the state’s budget revisions. (Source).
2.“We’ve increased forest management tenfold since taking office.”
•Misleading. Newsom’s administration has faced significant criticism for failing to meet its forest management goals. In 2020, the state falsely claimed to have treated 90,000 acres of forest but only treated 11,399 acres, according to an investigation by CapRadio and NPR. (Source).
3.“California will NOT allow for looting.”
•Irrelevant. This claim doesn’t address the larger issue of mismanagement and preventative failure that led to the fires in the first place. Looting is a distraction from the core issue of accountability for wildfire preparedness.
The webpage avoids addressing Newsom’s specific policy failures, focusing instead on generic claims about current firefighting efforts. It’s an obvious deflection attempt that collapses under scrutiny.
Listen Gavin, if you’re going to create a webpage to fight the misinformation that’s out there about you. Make sure that it’s ironclad. Unfortunately, for you, your entire career has been a joke.
@ShemekaMichelle Sometimes we just outgrow people and have to let them go. Doesn't have to be malicious, sometimes people just arent a good fit anymore.
@realDonaldTrump If they raised $1 Billion dollars, and ended up $20 million in debt a few weeks later after a FAILED campaign, they are clearly not qualified to fix the economy.
