Gavin Newsom: “We’re challenging it.”

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.”

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.

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

The courts have made clear that the federal government has no role in how a state carries out its election process.
