After Donald Trump blamed him for the L.A. County wildfires, Gov. Gavin Newsom invited the incoming president to come meet with victims and survey the damage.
Gov. Gavin Newsom sent a letter to President-elect Donald Trump on Friday inviting the incoming leader to California to meet with fire victims, survey the devastation in Los Angeles County and join him in thanking first responders. The invitation, which the governor's office said was emailed to Trump's team, marks a change in tone in the political battle between Newsom and Trump.
' Trump has been a vocal critic of Newsom since the fires began and blamed the governor and 'his Los Angeles crew” for the disaster, though the Republican's claim that a lack of water in Southern California led to a shortage for firefighters have been widely debunked. In a briefing earlier in the day with President Biden, Newsom spoke out against the misinformation and lies.
