California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s wildfire management claims are in dispute following a report that claims he misled the public about his accomplishments.

“Governor Newsom’s deceitfulness and half steps don’t cut it. He is a self-serving hypocrite who needs to get his priorities straight,” Sen. Jim Nielsen (R-Red Bluff) said in a press release in response to the NPR and CapRadio report.
