Mel Gibson Criticizes California Governor Over Wildfires

California Governor Gavin Newsom has faced significant backlash amid devastating wildfires that have resulted in at least 11 deaths and substantial property damage. Actor Mel Gibson, whose own home was destroyed, criticized Newsom on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, accusing him of failing to prioritize wildfire prevention over homelessness funding. Gibson highlighted that while $24 billion was spent on homelessness, no funds went towards fire prevention, stating, 'He didn't do anything.' Newsom has called for an investigation into water supply failures that have hampered firefighting efforts. The wildfires continue to wreak havoc, with over 10,000 homes and businesses destroyed. Celebrities, including Gibson, have expressed frustration with the state's leadership and preparedness for such disasters.
