Mel Gibson: Gavin Newsom Spent $100 Million On Hair Gel To Combat Wildfires

LOS ANGELES, CA — Actor Mel Gibson accused California Governor Gavin Newsom of diverting $100 million from the state's fire prevention budget to purchase high-end hair gel.

Gibson's claim, made during a live segment on Fox News, suggests that Newsom believed the hair product could be used to mitigate wildfire risks, an assertion that has since stirred significant controversy and public outcry.

During the interview, Gibson demonstrated the fire-resistant properties of the hair gel by attempting to ignite his own hair, which remained unscathed. This was meant to underscore his point about misplaced priorities in state spending, especially given California's vulnerability to wildfires.

Newsom quickly refuted Gibson's allegations, calling them baseless and irresponsible. “This is what a wildfire of misinformation looks like.”

The incident has led to a broader conversation about transparency, accountability, and the allocation of public funds in California. Firefighters' unions and environmental advocates have expressed concerns over the state's readiness to combat the upcoming wildfire season.

At publishing time, every Californian was seen applying the hair gel all over their home to prevent it from burning down.
