Newsom On If "Buck Stops" With Him: "This Is Not About Finger Pointing"

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.�
