Newsom press office post about Noem prompts Secret Service threat assessment

Acting U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli referred an X statement from Gov. Gavin Newsom‘s (D-CA) press office to the Secret Service on Saturday, saying there is “zero tolerance” for threats against government officials.

The statement from Newsom’s press office on Saturday morning said that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem would “have a bad day today,” adding, “You’re welcome, America.” The post was published 10 days after Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was assassinated, in what was the latest example of political violence in the United States.
