California Gov. Gavin Newsom today forcefully rejected President Trump’s threat to quell unrest by deploying troops to American cities. “It won't happen. It’s not going to happen. We would reject it. We would push back against that,” Newsom said
Gov. Gavin Newsom on Wednesday forcefully rejected President Donald Trump’s threat to quell unrest by deploying troops to American cities.
Newsom’s comments marked a return to a more critical tone toward Trump, which the California governor has largely set aside in recent months to maintain a working relationship with the White House during the coronavirus pandemic. But Trump’s vow to try and pacify American cities with armed troops evidently crossed a line. In brushing them off, Newsom suggested that Trump’s political prospects were crumbling — the type of political taunt that Newsom has largely eschewed of late.
