Newsom defends fire response with fact-check site linking to Dem Party fundraising platform

A website intended to combat ‘misinformation’ about the fires encourages users to donate to those affected through Democratic fundraising giant ActBlue

By Emma Colton, Fox News, January 12, 2025 :

Gov. Gavin Newsom defended his handling of the raging fires in the Los Angeles area with a new website intended to combat “misinformation” that also links to Democratic Party fundraising giant ActBlue, Fox News Digital found.

Fires have been raging in the Los Angeles area since Tuesday, destroying thousands of acres and homes and leaving more than a dozen people dead in its wake. Newsom, amid criticisms of his handling of the fires, unveiled a new website this weekend to combat “misinformation” on California fire prevention and emergency efforts, linking to a website that raises donations through ActBlue.

“A lot of misinformation out there. Just launched a new site to ensure the public has access to fact-based data around the Southern CA wildfires,” Newsom posted to X on Saturday.

“The TRUTH:- CA did NOT cut our firefighting budget. We have nearly doubled the size of our firefighting army and built the world’s largest aerial firefighting fleet.

“- CA has INCREASED forest management ten-fold since we took office.

“- California will NOT allow for looting. Get the facts: http://californiafirefacts.com,” the post concluded.

Californiafirefacts.com lists a handful of “lies” promoted on social media and by the media and Newsom’s “facts” responding to the claims, before touting a donation button at the bottom of the website, Fox News Digital found early Sunday morning.

“Contribute to the California Fire Foundation,” the website says, identifying the fundraising effort as part of ActBlue, which will deliver donations to firefighters and devastated communities.

“Please make a contribution to the California Fire Foundation. It is a tax-deductible donation and the money will go directly to supporting firefighters and the communities they serve, including direct financial support to impacted residents,” the fundraising section of the website adds.

When the donation button is clicked, the user is brought to an ActBlue URL where people can make donations from $25 to $1,000 – or a self-determined number. The donation page also boasts Newsom’s Campaign for Democracy political action committee, saying it will sign donors up for text updates from the PAC.

Newsom’s PAC was launched in 2023 and promoted as an effort to boost Democrats in “extremist” GOP-led states. ActBlue is a massive Democratic PAC focused on small dollar donations that has bolstered Democratic elections and efforts to the tune of more than $16 billion since its founding in 2004, according to its website.
