Newsom Pretends to go Hard on Crime

Governor Gavin Newsom is copying President Trump again, but perhaps it’s a good thing?

I’m Tomi Lahren, find out next.

Podcaster and part time governor Gavin Newsom is ramping up law enforcement across California, and sure, it’s a good move. But let’s not pretend he came up with it on his own. The timing just happens to follow Trump’s crime crackdown in D.C. and his call for law and order nationwide.

That said, more cops on the streets isn’t a bad thing. The real question is whether their arrests will lead to actual consequences.

If Newsom’s serious about fighting California’s culture of lawlessness, why did he oppose Prop 36? It passed with 68% of the vote and aimed to increase penalties for drug and theft crimes while allowing judges to mandate treatment. Yet he’s refused to fully fund it, claiming it’s too expensive, after running up the deficit on illegal immigrant healthcare.

So no, I’m not falling for this Trump-lite “suppression team” act. It’s just political theater–like everything else with Gavin Newsom.
