Gavin Newsom Vows To Double California’s Violent Crime If Trump Doesn’t Stop Cleaning Up D.C.

SACRAMENTO, CA — In his ongoing public sparring with the administration over its agenda, Governor Gavin Newsom vowed to double California's violent crime rate if President Donald Trump refused to stop cleaning up Washington, D.C.

Acting as a constant and vocal opponent to Trump's policies, Newsom took things up a notch this week by promising to offset any progress Trump might make in his attempt to crack down on crime in the nation's capital by promoting even more violent crime in the Golden State.

"If Trump insists on lowering crime in D.C., then we're going to commit crimes even harder here in California," Newsom said in a video statement on social media. "We simply cannot allow him to get away with fundamentally changing the fabric of our nation by protecting innocent, law-abiding citizens from violent crime in our major cities. This ‘crackdown' on violent crime is a crackdown on America itself. Here in California, we're committed to spearheading the increase of murders, rapes, assaults, robberies, and all the other horrible crimes Trump seems to be dead-set on eliminating. Join me in standing up to Trump and his fascist agenda to make American cities safer."

Newsom reportedly set up a special task force to come up with a plan to increase violent crime in the state if Trump followed through on his promise to curb crime in Washington, D.C., including supplying criminals with the tools and resources they need to carry out their abominable acts. "I'm here to help," Newsom continued. "I've been a friend to criminals my whole career, and I'm proud to stand by them against President Trump's dangerous policies to promote safety."

At publishing time, Newsom was last seen carjacking an old lady's vehicle in downtown Sacramento.

No wonder California is such a mess with him leading it.

That was a relly dumb statement on Newsom’s part, but apparently it expresses his true feelings on the subject. Hope the voters will remember this. Maybe he wants California crime to exceed D.Cs crime rate. Not the right words for any serious politician to be using.

Shut down the Bee! You can’t print truth and call it humor, you have to be professional.

While yes, cnn can print humor and call it truth, but they haven’t even pretended to be professional in 50 years. They are grandfathered, er, grandparent B.
