California Governor Gavin Newsom on Tuesday tore into Donald Trump on social media, accusing the president of “making things up” and telling a “straight up lie” about the state’s effort to rebuild after devastating wildfires in Los Angeles at the beginning of the year.
The back-and-forth began when Trump claimed in a post on Truth Social that Gavin “Newscum” was nearing approval on a plan to build low-income housing in Pacific Palisades, a high-end neighborhood that saw some of the worst damage in the fires.
