Journalist Bari Weiss, known for her departure from the New York Times over ideological differences, recently appeared on FOX News to discuss the California fires. Weiss described these events as a failure of government on fundamental responsibilities.
Weiss stated, "Los Angeles is being governed and the state of California is being governed by people who have lost sight of the basics of governing." She emphasized that residents pay taxes expecting basic services like fire prevention, which she argues are not being met.
The discussion highlighted public frustration with state leadership, including Governor Gavin Newsom and other Democratic leaders. Weiss pointed out issues such as delayed police response times in neighborhoods and questioned budget allocations prioritizing social issues over essential services.
Weiss commented on the broader context of governance in California: "What I know is that the broader context in which this fire is happening is a context of total incompetency and leaders who are putting their niche, luxury issues, ideological issues over and above the most fundamental things."
The conversation reflects ongoing debates about government priorities and effectiveness in addressing public safety concerns.
