Newsom's response to Trump's military invasion is a roadmap for Democrats
California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom has been meeting the moment as he responds to President Donald Trump activating the military against civilians in the Golden State, dismantling Trump's lies in real time to stop a false narrative from taking hold.
In a Tuesday night speech, Newsom drew attention to Trump's latest authoritarian actions: illegally calling in the National Guard and the Marines to squash protests against his unpopular Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids. Newsom warned Americans that it’s Los Angeles today, but could be their state or community next.
"This isn't just about protests here in Los Angeles. When Donald Trump sought blanket authority to commandeer the National Guard, he made that order apply to every state in this nation. This is about all of us. This is about you," Newsom said.
"California may be first, but it clearly will not end here. Other states are next. Democracy is next. Democracy is under assault before our eyes."
