On Tuesday, Newsmax anchor Rob Finnerty proposed that President-elect Donald Trump consider relocating the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics to a Republican state such as Florida or Texas due to the devastating wildfires in California.
In an interview with Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH), Finnerty inquired:
“I’m wondering if you think that the Trump administration should seriously look at moving the Olympics to a red city where you know things are gonna be run properly, like a city in Florida, maybe Miami, or maybe Dallas in Texas, or maybe a city in your home state of Ohio? I’m not convinced that California can manage the Olympics, the World Cup, and the Super Bowl all within a year of each other.” he said.
“Yeah, especially when they’re spending time, quote, ‘Trump-proofing’ their state, looking for ways to set up barriers and obstacles to what the American people elected us to do, particularly I think when it comes to this whole immigration and repatriation issue.” Jordan said in response.
“So we’ll see. I’ll leave that up to President Trump and his team once they get up and running here in less than six days now. So we’ll see, but I do think the American people rightly see how poorly that state is being run, how poorly these tragic fires have been handled by both the governor and of course the mayor there in Los Angeles.” he added.
California Governor Gavin Newsom has come under a significant amount of criticism in the wake of the devastating fires that have destroyed vast swathes of Lost Angeles in the past week, with thousands of structures having been destroyed in the process.
