President-elect Donald Trump is blaming Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) for the mass destruction caused by fires tearing through Los Angeles — an escalation in the pair’s water wars. “One of the best and most beautiful parts of the United States of America is burning down to the ground.

The blazes burning across the Los Angeles region are not only devastating property and lives, but also fueling political argument over how to fight the fires, with President-elect Trump blaming state officials for a dearth of available water supplies.

The finger-pointing at diversity and inclusion efforts is part of a broader push to blame liberal policies for the perception of chaos and lawlessness in blue states.
