California Governor Gavin Newsom sparked an uproar on Saturday after his team posted a cryptic message to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

Continued: As TGP readers know, Newsom has made himself the leader of the resistance against the Trump Administration, particularly on the issue of illegal immigration. This feud has been heightened ever since Trump sent ICE agents to LA to round up illegals earlier this year.

Perhaps with this in mind, Newsom’s press team posted a tweet that many read as a threat on Noem’s life. It was certainly vague enough to be interpreted that way.

The post reads, “Kristi Noem is going to have a bad day today. “You’re welcome, America.”

As TGP readers know, several accounts on X posted somewhat similar statements shortly before Charlie Kirk was assassinated. For example, one account, “Fujoshincel,” posted on September 5 about “something BIG coming soon.”

They urged followers to check the news. Five days later, shortly after Kirk’s death was confirmed, they quoted the post and wrote, “Well that’s that,” and followed up by saying, “Another Chud Bites the Dust.”

The Trump Administration agreed that Team Newsom’s tweet looked like a threat. Assistant Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin slammed Newsom for hiding behind a keyboard to ‘threaten’ Noem when he’s too cowardly to trash-talk her to her face. "This reads like a threat,” McLaughlin wrote. “This is ugly, @GavinNewsom.”

“Your keyboard warrior team may hide behind their laptops and spew this kind of vitriol but you would never have the guts to say this to her face,” she added.

Acting US Attorney Bill Essayli said the alleged threat has now been referred to the Secret Service.

If this post was not intended as a threat to Noem’s life, then what was the purpose behind it? ///

NewSCUM doesnt tweet anything, he uses ChatGPT to come up with his lil X posts and then some college goon who he hired posts it. The only thing NewSCUM knows how to do for himself is set cities on fire so he can “Reimagine it” in his vision

Great platform to run for Prez...I will not protect you.

That reads like texts from a trantifa furry couple and what the assassin’s friends wrote separately. I see no difference

Ever since Newsome was elected mayor of SF, CA, in 2003, there’s only one thing he has had in mind - to be the President of the United States.

2028 seems to be the targeted year. Unless the Dem party collapses by then or Newsome somehow self-immolates, I don’t see anyone on the horizon who can beat Newsome.

Maybe like VP politician and RINO GHW Bush after Reagan in 1988, VP politician Vance may win in 2028 on Trump’s coattails.

But like Bush, Vance is primarily a politician and GOP politicians is what the Left eats for breakfast.

Most likely like Bush, politician and visionless Vance’s 4-year presidency will be mediocre at best and possibly disastrous.

Enter Newsom in 2032 and exit America.

That is why we need businessman Vivek in there, the ONLY national figure who has consistently called for serious, substantial, and permanent downsizing of the mostly unconstitutional federal gov’t - EXACTLY what is needed to extend and expend MAGA towards restoring America’s Free Constitutional Republic.

Just pick him up for questioning.

She has already had very serious threats against her and her family. It was so bad that she got extra secret service and had to move out of her house.

[Texas Eagle]

Better check Newscum’s gaming chat room posts.

[kaila]

I highly doubt Newsome will win, as the country knows what a mess he made in California. However, if Josh Shapiro gets in the race, that will be a threat.

What you said.

[Jim W N]

At this point, I predict Vance will be elected in 2028 on Trump’s coattails, blow it like GHW Bush did, and Newsome will easily win 2032, like Clinton easily beat Bush in 1992.

God help us.

[Wally_Kalbacken]

I think the correct analog for Newsome is Jeb Bush. Seen as inevitable, then gone in a flash. Newsome will prove the same.

[citizen]

Vance is definitely not like the career bureaucrat and DC centrist Bush 41. As we saw much to America’s detriment the Texas Bushes were first class RINOs.

I think you are selling Vance way short. I do not see Vance as ever being a card carrying member of the elitist politician set.

Vivek? We shall have to see...

[KittyKares]

What a horrid governor we have in California. Makes me wonder what he knows or is involved with?

[pangaea6]

They need to start bringing these politicians in for questioning in front of the cameras. This is very poor taste after what happened and they are excusing it by saying our people are fascists and hurt others feelings. They are going after dept heads and want trump.

[citizen]

Keep in mind, unless Trump falters mentally or physically in coming years - and he well could - he will still be a force backing Vance.

[ken in texas]

- ... as the country knows what a mess he made in California -

The people like us that are paying attention know about the mess. Those getting news from FaceBook and X will continue on as is.

[VanShuyten]

Sounds like his “team” will miss all the games tomorrow, since they don’t have TV in interrogation rooms.

[Iron Munro]

Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, should personally arrest Newsom for making threats against a federal officer.

[Jim W N]

Can you honesty tell me what you thought of Pence in the summer/fall of 2017?
