Ric Grenell Rips Gavin Newsom, Lays Out What Needs to Happen to Make California a Golden State Again
Special Envoy to the President Ric Grenell doesn’t suffer fools gladly. He was recently appointed to be President of the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts, and when sulking leftist “Hamilton” actors refused to perform because they don’t like the administration, Grenell ripped them, accusing them of attempting to “cosplay as victims of intolerance” who were simply performing a “political stunt.”
True.
As Ambassador to Germany in Trump’s first term, meanwhile, he wasn’t afraid to criticize the country for its defense spending, migration policies, and business ties with Iran. It takes guts to call out the country you're trying to work with.
Now, as our sister site Townhall reported, he’s telling his boss, President Donald Trump, that California and its exquisitely hair-gelled governor Gavin Newsom have so badly mismanaged the state on every level that the government should simply stop sending federal funds into the progressive sinkhole until they get their... act together.
Grenell was ruthless, but one thousand percent on target:
We live on the ocean but our Governor can’t figure out how to get more water - so he spends millions of tax dollars telling people to not water their lawns and to take faster showers.
We have 33 million acres of forest land but our Governor can’t figure out how to properly remove dead trees.
When you combine Gavin’s water and forest incompetence- you get deadly fires.

Grenell wasn’t done, however, and he savaged Newsom and California officials for their failure to take steps to prevent the next catastrophic wildfire:
The Sacramento Democrats still haven’t filled up the water reserves or cleaned up the brush. They are still killing desalination plants and commonsense forest management.
The fires will happen again. I’ve told DJT we shouldn’t spend federal money on California if the problems aren’t fixed first.
Then he came in with the haymaker, calling the failed governor a "fraud":
Meanwhile, Gavin is launching his 5th version of a podcast trying to re-brand himself to run for President. He isn’t interested in fixing the problems.
I pray the Democrats nominate him. He’s a total and complete fraud - and the swing states will see it instantly.
Grenell hits hard here… but he’s 100 percent on target on every one of his points.

Big Daddy Takes Newsom to the Woodshed
Gavin Newsom has overseen a disastrous decline in the Golden State, and he wants to take the “California Model” nationwide. Amazingly, some (including himself, apparently) think he’s a quality candidate for the highest office in the land.
Ric Grenell just gave you a whole bunch more reasons why that would be disastrous for America. Don't let it happen.
Editor's Note: Donald Trump and his team have been fighting against the left’s extreme agenda.
