California Governor Gavin Newsom has been accused of using the Democratic fundraising site ActBlue to solicit donations in a post about the deadly Los Angeles wildfires.
Newsom posted a link to X califirefacts.coma website his campaign committee launched in response to users who claimed he was spreading false information.
The site, which also solicits donations to the Cal Fire Foundation, which supports firefighters, their families and fire victims, is linked to the Democratic fundraising group ActBlue.
By making a donation, donors can also sign up to receive texts from Newsom's Democracy Campaign SuperPac.
Users were also quick to point out that ActBlue takes a portion of every donation as a processing fee. However, ActBlue announced it would waive fees related to wildfires in Los Angeles County.
Other Democrats, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), have similarly joined the ActBlue fundraiser to raise money for wildfire victims.
