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.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Trump should sign an executive order authorizing regular citizens to turn in illegals. The EO should provide the numbers for the FBI and ICE and have a bountry of $500 for each one caught and deported as a result of DROP-A-DIME DEPORT-ILLEGALS.
Funny how he didn’t get all teary eyed for the illegal immigrants that outright murder young women…
Nothing is more childish than a male politician hiding behind the skirt of his daughter.
If Gavin had any possibility of running against Vance-or-whomever in 2028, it is billowing up in peaceful protest smoke. Pelosi and Obama will have to pick someone else to herd through the “people’s choice” primary process.
Somebody please muss his hair. He will not be able to do anything after that.
His teen daughter cries because she has an embarrassment for a father spewing this nonsense on national TV.
Don't believe it...Let's say girls love to play daddy.
But he publicly called for his own arrest. And he’s all there?
Do they really think any of this is playing well to all but their brain dead followers?
The democrats ENTIRE message is: “you are causing chaos because you didn’t give us what we want so we have to burn everything, loot and riot. “
Madness and insanity from the Party who thinks a boy is a girl and insisted for four years that Biden was “at the top of his game.”
“Our democracy” means “their democracy” and in their democracy, you shut up and obey.
What a fag!
He is absolutely pathetic, California deserves him.
She might have enough IQ to be a grandbaby incubator, but I think that's as far as it goes.
Predicable, lefties doubling down on stupid.
Do they really think any of this is playing well to all but their brain dead followers?
Sad fact, it is.
Projection what beautiful projection Governor.
Gavin is on his way to setting the record job approval numbers currently held by the Mayor of Chicago......6% approval (lol)
I’m not seeing that in the polling. It isn’t playing well at all
Trump is the stern father interrupting the party going on in the kids’ rec rooms.
Of course the kids bust out crying. Daddy is taking the keys to the T-Bird away, and there is no “fun, fun, fun!” any more.
