California Governor Gavin Newsom passed the buck when asked during an 
interview over the weekend if the “buck stops” with him in relation to the 
state’s poor response to the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles.

Newsom, who cut $100 million from California’s fire prevention budget, made 
the remarks during an interview that aired Sunday on NBC News’ “Meet The 
Press” when asked about the investigation that he ordered into why there were 
water supply issues.

He said that he wants the investigation to answer the question of “What the 
hell happened? What happened to the water system?”

He suggested that they could have run out of water due to the amount of water 
being used or that there would have been a problem with “pipes” or 
“electricity.”

“I want to know those facts,” he claimed. “I want them objectively 
determined, and let the chips fall where they may.”

Newsom then tried to deflect blame, saying: “This is not about finger 
pointing.”

When asked if he was launching the investigation to deflect blame off 
himself, Newsom responded: “I’m not, how could it be when we’re doing an 
independent investigation and we just want the adjudication of the facts?”

“As I say, it’s not about finger pointing,” he said. “It’s about answering 
the questions you and everybody wants answered.”

When asked point blame if “the buck stop with you,” Newsom did not answer the 
question and instead claimed that people were trying to “take cheap political 
shots” at him.

“Well, I mean, you’re governor of California. You might as well be the mayor 
of California,” he said. “We’re all in this together. We’re all better off 
when we’re all better off, and we’re all better off when we’re working 
together to take care of people and to make sure people are supported.”

“We’re empathetic,” he claimed. “And we’re here not just in the immediacy of 
the crisis, but we’re here after the crisis, as opposed to creating a crisis 
in the middle of this by trying to divide people and play political, take 
cheap political shots.”
