Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary wants California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass removed from office — and he’s not afraid to play hardball to do it.
O’Leary appeared on Fox News’ “Varney & Co.” on Tuesday to discuss the pair’s roles in the California wildfires that are decimating Los Angeles.
“I think every taxpayer in America, including those in California, would like to tie this aid to removing Newsom and Bass. Now. Gone,” O’Leary said.
“Part of the deal would be, and I know Trump likes new ideas, here’s one: not a dime until those two are whacked from their jobs immediately,” he said. “They are so incompetent, and all of the decisions they’ve made led to this, and they’re still making mistakes. They’re horrific managers. Whack them.”
Currently, there are four fires burning the Los Angeles area, leaving homes destroyed and lives lost in their wake.
As the destruction continues, O’Leary opines that a return to a normal Los Angeles is a long time coming.
“I even think the Olympics are in jeopardy [due to] the infrastructure. I think these homes, people have to realize, were built with pine timber back in the 50s and 60s, some of them as inexpensive as $15,000 now worth $4 million. They were dry. They basically melted,” O’Leary said.
