Comedian Rips ‘Nancy’s Nephew’ Gavin Newsom For Focusing On Politics Instead Of Wildfires

[Conservative Angle]

​

There has been plenty of blame to go around since wildfires began destroying much of Los Angeles and the surrounding areas.

Democratic leaders at the local, state, and federal level have been harshly criticized for failing to prepare for the natural disaster even as they prioritized spending on a bevy of far-left social programs and government handouts.

For actor and comedian Michael Rapaport, however, one elected official stood out as particularly worthy of derision.

According to Fox News:

“You’re talking about Trump this, Trump that. He’s not even president,” the 54-year-old said in a video he posted to Instagram as the Southern California fires, which have burned thousands of homes, entered their second week.

Rapaport has also been critical of Trump in the past, but said that Vice President Kamala Harris lost his vote in the 2024 election because of Israel.

“Get the f— out of here!” he said of Newsom. “‘We’ll do better next time. We need to learn from our mistakes,’” he mocked.

“You’re not running for sixth grade class president, he added,” jokingly calling him “Nancy’s nephew,” referring to former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. “Them days are over.”

“What a good old boy you turned out to be, you little bulls— artist,” he added.

A number of other celebrities have also weighed in with their disapproval of Newsom and other California officials:

I’ve received a few DMs this week from Hollywood celebrities who are privately fed up with Gavin Newsom, Karen Bass and the failed leadership in California.

I wish more would come out publicly instead of endorsing destructive liberal policies every few years just cause it’s…

The New York Post covered some of the other celebrities who have called out Newsom and others amid the expanding wildfires:

Big Hollywood names have started to turn on Los Angeles’ Democratic leadership, including Mayor Karen Bass, over the botched response to the wildfires raging across the ritzy, celeb-filled Pacific Palisades and surrounding areas.

Actress Sarah Michelle Gellar led the charge, criticizing the Democratic leadership on Instagram for failing to direct the tens of thousands of Southern California residents trying to flee as the fires burned uncontained Wednesday.

“City of LA you want everyone to evacuate yet you have complete gridlock and not one traffic cop on the roads helping,” Gellar wrote, tagging Bass and the city of Los Angeles.

The Palisades Fire has been ravaging the celebrity-dotted neighborhood since Tuesday and has burned a horrifying 17,234 acres (27 square miles) over the past 36 hours.

Actor James Woods, who lost his home in the Palisades Fire, vented on X that the wildfires weren’t caused by “climate change” but by “liberal idiots like Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass.”

“One doesn’t understand the first thing about fire management and the other can’t fill the water reservoirs,” he added.

In a separate post, Woods wrote, “I took this last night from our beautiful little home in the Palisades. Now all the fire alarms are going off at once remotely. It tests your soul, losing everything at once, I must say.”

Actress Sara Foster also took to X to lament how Los Angeles residents pay exorbitant taxes but the state was still completely unprepared to take on such massive wildfires.

“Our fire hydrants were empty. Our vegetation was overgrown, brush not cleared. Our reservoirs were emptied by our governor because tribal leaders wanted to save fish. Our fire department budget was cut by our mayor. But thank god drug addicts are getting their drug kits,” she wrote.

Here’s some additional coverage of the growing disdain toward Newsom among Californians:
