Gavin Newsom: “I know they say don't mess with Texas. Well, don't mess with the great Golden State.”

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.”

A totally unprecedented request that should scare the hell out of every American.

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.

“completely unacceptable and inappropriate.”
