President Trump left the Capitol tonight but before he did, he stopped and gave a statement to the press about the wildfires in Los Angeles.

In the statement he criticized Governor Gavin Newsom for not allowing water to come downstate because of a fish:

“Well it’s very sad. I’ve been trying to get Gavin Newsom to allow water to come. You’d have tremendous water up there. They send it out to the Pacific because they’re trying to protect a tiny little fish – which is in other areas by the way – called a ‘smelt.’ And for the sake of a smelt, they have no water. They have no water in the fire hydrants today in Los Angeles. It’s a terrible thing.

And we’re gonna get that done. It’ll finally be done. I got it done from the federal side and he didn’t want to sign it. But it’s not going to happen again like that.

There’s no reason. Can you imagine? You have farmers that don’t have any water in California. They have plenty of water. They don’t have a drought. They send it out to the Pacific and it’s crazy.”

He said much more and you can watch it below:
