California Governor Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, posted a statement on social media Wednesday voicing his disappointment that Kamala Harris lost the presidential election, and then threw out a veiled threat to President-elect Donald Trump.
Newsom wrote:
“Kamala Harris set out to fight to defend our fundamental freedoms and build a country that works for everyone. She stood up for working families, decency, and opportunity.
“Though this is not the outcome we wanted, our fight for freedom and opportunity endures.
“California will seek to work with the incoming president — but let there be no mistake, we intend to stand with states across our nation to defend our Constitution and uphold the rule of law.
“Federalism is the cornerstone of our democracy. It’s the United STATES of America.”
.@KamalaHarris set out to fight to defend our fundamental freedoms and build a country that works for everyone. She stood up for working families, decency, and opportunity.
Though this is not the outcome we wanted, our fight for freedom and opportunity endures.
California…

Conservatives are pounding on Newsom over his statement:
Decency? Walk down the streets of SF. You call that decent?

Translation: We are going to do everything we can to stand in the way of president Trump and prevent him from accomplishing anything for the American people.

Hey Gav, you’ve never been more irrelevant and despised than you are now.
Californians are sick and tired of the destruction you have caused our great state on so many levels. People flee, businesses flee, and the state is imploding.
Do us all a favor: RESIGN. NOW.

Brother you literally censor free speech in your own state and are more welcoming to illegals than you are US Citizens. You care more about appearing good than actually being good. YOU are the threat to democracy. https://t.co/Fa8xSEv6oG

Why does everyone want to leave your state?

Yawn. We tried your ways. California sucks. You’re done.

I truly hope @realDonaldTrump creates a task force to investigate the obvious corruption and lawlessness going on in California. We used to be the greatest state in the country but we have been left behind. @GavinNewsom @RobBonta @ilike_mike @CASpeakerRivas @CA_Dem @elonmusk https://t.co/8Ex3ltBnwb

Isn’t this the guy who banned travel to other states that had laws he didn’t like? “Federalism IS the core of our republic… but you don’t get to support it when it suits you and trash it when it doesn’t you lizard. https://t.co/27hHTlFPgj
