California Gov. Gavin Newsom received intense blowback for calling the joint US-Israeli airstrikes in Iran an “illegal, dangerous war” while ripping President Trump’s decision to attack Tehran..
“The corrupt and repressive Iranian regime must never have nuclear weapons. The leadership of Iran must go,” Newsom wrote on X Saturday, after the US and Israel launched the coordinated strikes early that morning.
“But that does not justify the President of the United States engaging in an illegal, dangerous war that will risk the lives of our American service members and our friends without justification to the American people.
"President Trump is putting Americans at risk abroad because he is unpopular at home.”
The comments earned immediate criticism from those who questioned the potential 2028 presidential candidate‘s position.

They have to take the wrong side and make themselves look even Crazier
Maybe we need to cut Gruesome som slack since he’s dyslexic and can’t read the War Powers Act that allows the President 90 days to conclude his actions...nah!
As long we play Burger King we can have it our way. But there will come a time when International Law could benefit our Country, but the world will not care.
When the mighty fall it comes like a pack of wovles tearing the once strong down without mercy.
Once a nation gives the world the middle finger it is not long before it gets showed up their Arse. Arrogance and Pride proceed the fall.

Not illegal, just an undocumented war.
He is...maybe to Anti-Americans like Democrats, Globalists and Socialists...
BUT NOT TO AMERICANS!!!
Good insight. He looks around from side to side and then upward while spinning a rehearsed and memorized tall tale of being one of the masculine good ol' guys at a podcaster. He tries to get sympathy for not being able to read a speech (so he has to memorize them after his speechwriters test it out on focus groups with each word scrutinized).
Yyyeahhh. I think that 960 he scored was SAT inflation.
“Is the Attack a Violation of International Law?”
no, because there’s no such thing as an “international law”, and if there was, the USA has not signed any “international law” treaty ...
Newsom declared war on California years ago.
Our Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, got it right:

The Democrats sure are nice to this country’s enemies.
Almost like they are not on our side. Go figure.
Looking at this just from the political angle, Trump wins. This muddled response from Newsom is trying to have it both ways: yeah, the mullahs are bad and nukes are bad and have to go, but Trump shouldn't have done it... It's a critique that concedes the point.
Gavin is SUCH an accomplished leader and master of California state politics that we certainly must respect is foreign policy advice!!!😖😏
Newscum: "I'm dumb, like everybody says. I can't do stuff. I can't get no respect."
“the dude doesn’t even know how things work”
He doesn’t really have to know anything except, “If Trump is doing it, I’m against it.”
