Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) dialed up the rhetoric against President Donald Trump on Tuesday, accusing him of posing an “authoritarian” threat to the country.
During a friendly interview on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, Newsom argued that the president’s move to federalize the National Guard and send thousands of troops to patrol Los Angeles earlier this year illustrated that he holds more than “authoritarian tendencies.” Trump is building an “army” of people who are more loyal to obeying his commands than the U.S. Constitution, the governor suggested.
