Gavin Newsom: “Well, as governor of California, let me do what apparently Manhattan Beach is unwilling to do and I want to apologize to…”

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.

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

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

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.”
