Gavin Newsom: “This was too urgent, too important, to allow the process to unfold as it has for the last generation.”

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.

Donald Trump’s remarks were dangerous – if not treasonous – putting a target on two of our biggest cities and one of America’s largest naval hubs.

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