Gavin Newsom: “He was never serious about a deal. He wanted this shutdown.”

Let’s be clear: The President is advocating for an attack on 10+ million U.S. residents in two of America’s largest cities. This is not normal. None of this is.

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.”

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.

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