California Governor Gavin Newsom continued his all out-messaging war against President Donald Trump after he decided to send federal troops to California to help quell the riots in Los Angeles.
Newsom painted himself and his family as a victim of Trump’s aggressive posture toward California, revealing that the president made his teenage daughter cry.
‘I have a 15-year-old who quite literally came home from school crying because she was told on her last day of school — God as my witness — because she was told her daddy was getting arrested,’ Newsom revealed on The Daily podcast hosted by the New York Times.
Newsom grew emotional as he spoke about the incident, his already hoarse voice cracking.
He was referring to a comment that Trump made to reporters after he was asked if the governor should be arrested by his immigration czar Tom Homan.
'I would do it if I were Tom. I think it's great. Gavin likes the publicity but I think it would be a great thing,' Trump said, when he returned to the White House from Camp David on Monday.
Newsom followed up by defying the president, daring him to follow through on his promise.
'I told the President, get it over with. Arrest me,' he said in an interview.

They served our state on a poopoo platter to the Dem machine!
He has a snake tongue…creepy dude.
