Gavin Newsom decided to take his PR campaign to national television on Sunday, and the results were a major disaster with notable word salads, wild gestures, and more.
As The Daily Mail reported, NBC News Correspondent Jacob Soboroff traveled to Altadena, a census-designated place in the San Gabriel Valley in California which has been tormented by the Eaton Fire, to meet with the disgraced governor.
Throughout the interview, The Mail noted Newsom appeared defensive as he often clapped and made several other glaring gestures that caught the attention of viewers as he attempted to spin his way out of his disastrous leadership. He looked more like an agitated Bernie Sanders than the calm, measured leader California needs.
During one sequence, he showed he had no clue why the reservoirs in the Pacific Palisades were left completely empty. One of them, The Santa Ynez Reservoir, has a capacity of 117 million gallons and could have played a critical role in stopping the fires as The Gateway Pundit reported.
“Was it pipes? Was it electricity? It was a combination of pipes, electricities, and pumps,” Newsom asked as he rocked and threw up his hands.
“Was that drawdown impossible because you lost seven-plus thousand structures right here anyway and every single structure we lost had a pipe that was leaking, and we would’ve lost that water pressure anyway?”
Seeing Newsom’s mannerisms caused many Americans to wonder what was wrong with him.
