Gavin Newsom: “We have got to recognize the cards that have been dealt, and we have got to meet fire with fire!”

I am directing the State Threat Assessment Center to actively monitor the situation in the event that foreign actors interpret the President’s remarks as an invitation to target California.

We all agree that Californians deserve to have their retirement and life savings protected from new state taxes so those savings are there when they need them.

That means getting flood-fighting supplies into position, bolstering our water infrastructure, and helping communities across the Golden State prepare.

Gavin Newsom, the state’s governor, called the remarks “dangerous – if not treasonous – putting a target on two of our biggest cities and one of America’s largest naval hubs.”
