When trump wanted to take everything away from California for COVID protection.
He also met him earlier in the year, and made a fool of him.

Where is TACOlite coming from? Newsom HATES maga and trump.

repositioning as a so-called "moderate"...but he has been consistent in his opposition to this. He's 100% saying and doing all the right things here. Hell, he voluntarily offered his own arrest in order to stop this shit. That speaks volumes about his character.

He’s been trying so hard to make himself attractive to voters, even the right. Maybe especially them. But if he shows Democrats he actually will lead, act effectively and oppose the administration, he could have us all. We’re thirsty for effective leadership.
