They want to blame it on climate change rather than their poor management.

President Donald Trump took aim at California governor Gavin Newsom Sunday morning over wildfires raging across the southern and western parts of the state, chastising Newsom for letting environmentalists run the show, preventing the state from adquately clearing brush and dead vegetation.
Trump also threatened to cut off Federal funding to California for fire abatement and land management if Newsom doesn’t shape up.
The Washington Times reports that Trump took a break from tweeting about the Democrats’ plan to open public impeachment proceedings to declare Newsom a failure.
“The Governor of California, @GavinNewsom, has done a terrible job of forest management. I told him from the first day we met that he must ‘clean’ his forest floors regardless of what his bosses, the environmentalists, DEMAND of him. Must also do burns and cut fire stoppers…..” Trump tweeted.
