Another celebrity is joining the growing list of those calling out California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s alleged “mismanagement” of priorities as the Los Angeles area continues to burn and its residents mourn.
O’Leary Ventures President Kevin O’Leary was not available for comment Friday in “Varney & Co.” when he compared the governor to recently resigned Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
“It’s tragic what happened here. Serious mismanagement,” he said. “Gavin Newsom is a terrible coach. He’s the Justin Trudeau of California. He’s awful.”
“People should want to make a change and hire someone else,” O’Leary added. “But I think it’s the other way around. I think they’re very tired of the rhetoric and the politics and the taxes and the mismanagement.”

“We started talking about this with San Francisco, which is a war zone. And now LA, before that, was full of crime, people going in and out of stores, just stealing stuff. You’ve documented it by always,” he said. . “It’s time for a change.”
