Gavin Newsom was left fumbling for a response after he was chased down by a distraught Los Angeles woman who was demanding answers about the wildfires ravaging the city.
The California Governor apologized and claimed to be trying to reach the president on the phone when he was accosted by the emotional woman.
However, he was unable to provide a concrete response about what was being done in terms of the recovery effort.
'Governor that was my daughter's school,' the woman cried as she ran over to Newsom's vehicle.
'I'm literally talking to the president right now to specifically answer the question of what we can do for you and your daughter,' Newsom replied.
But when the woman asked if she could be a party to the call, the Governor was forced to admit he had yet to get hold of the president.

WOW. This woman literally ran up to Gavin Newsom on the street and demanded answers on his disastrous wildfires response — and she was NOT taking no for an answer. Good for her. pic.twitter.com/GNjUATtKXt

'It's not going through, I have to get cell service,' he added and the woman insisted she wants to be there when he gets it.
'I'm devastated for you, I am so sorry, especially for your daughter,' Newsom said.
