CA Governor Newsome: 'Sanctuary to all who seek it'
American Thinker ^ | 01/08/2019 | Rick Moran

California's new Governor, Gavin Newsome, gave notice in his inauguration speech yesterday that a bright new day was dawning for the state under his "progressive, principled leadership."

Even for a liberal, Newsome's laundry list of promises leaves one gasping for air.

FROM KCAL:

“People’s lives, freedom, security, the water we drink, the air we breathe — they all hang in the balance,” Newsom, 51, told a crowd of hundreds packed into a tent outside the state Capitol.

He says children should not be “ripped away from their parents” at the border, and they also shouldn’t be left hungry while Trump pledges to spend billions of dollars on “a wall that should never be built.”

While he avoided referencing Trump by name, Newsom referred to the administration as corrupt and incompetent and promised California will “write America’s future.”

Even as he needled Trump, Newsom offered an overture to voters in rural California, millions of whom voted for Trump and John Cox, Newsom’s Republican rival in November.

“I recognize that many in our rural communities believe that Sacramento doesn’t care about them — doesn’t even really see them,” he said. “I see you. I care about you. And I will represent you with pride.”

The new governor also promised "Sanctuary for all who seek it." One audience member with press credentials begged to differ:

Newsom (D), accompanied on stage at the State Capitol in Sacramento by his wife and children, was about to be sworn in as California's 40th governor when a man in the crowd began yelling, "I object!"

The crowd began booing the man as he voiced his opposition to California's sanctuary state law and the lawmakers who support it.

Gov Newsome is a brain damaged nitwit. I hope he is the final straw that gets the people of CA to have their own revolution to topple the idiocy in that state.

Not holding my breath though.

Broke: Complaining about Lib Dems offering sanctuary to IAs.

Woke: ICE using this as a honeypot to find IAs concentrated into one place, making them easier to nab.

——”Sanctuary for all who seek it.”-—

The Governor of California just seceeded from the Union

His state must be nationalized and be given the status of Territory

The govenor et al must be detained in a compound on say Keajalien or some other easily protected distant location.

Since California is no longer a state, the Congressional Representatives and Senators are out of a job.

Ditto all Federal judges

So if someone is seeking sanctuary from onerous gun regulations, or are we only ignoring some of the law?

Every state should modify its constitution to establish an state electoral college to prevent the loons in the population centers from destroying the state by electing flying twits like Newsome by mob rule.

I like your rationale. Without California, no Nancy Pelosi and no Democrat majority in the House. Let it be so.

“He says children should not be “ripped away from their parents” at the border”

Oooops...Ed Buck’s buddy misspoke! He meant to say that “children should not be ripped away from their traffickers at the border.”

The parents of children crossing the border illegally are guilty of child abuse and contributing to the delinquency of a minor

So, gruesome’s domicile is unlocked, stocked with ethnically correct food stuff, cash on the kitchen counter with all car keys readily available for use? Credit/atm cards and ‘pins’ laying about ready for use? No? Then STFU gruesome.
