It’s official. Yesterday I joined President Trump at the White House, where he signed my legislation to reverse Newsom’s gas-car ban “once and for all.” Californians can now continue to drive the cars of their choice.
In "King"-like fashion, Newsom tried to outlaw the vast majority of vehicles driven by Californians without any vote whatsoever. When I forced a vote to finally happen, he suffered a bipartisan rebuke. As I said on Fox, sanity is returning to America – and even to California.
Meanwhile, Newsom’s unhinged behavior has reached new extremes. My message, in a House Floor Speech, is the Governor owes an apology to our dedicated National Guard members for absurdly trying to blame the violence in LA when his own reckless policies are to blame.
As one example, I joined Fox News to call for the immediate reversal of the Sanctuary State. It is California and LA’s sanctuary policies, after all, that prevent dangerous criminals from being apprehended in jails; instead, they are released into the community.
In addition, it’s come to light that a "nonprofit" behind the riots, known as CHIRLA, donated $500,000 to support Newsom's campaign. The group then received $34 million in state funding, which it used to track ICE agents and give rioters their precise locations in real time.
I am introducing legislation providing that an organization involved in unlawful riots is ineligible for public funding and loses its tax-exempt status. I’m also working on a bill to increase penalties for disrupting immigration and law enforcement operations and assaulting federal officers.
The whole world has now seen what a mess Newsom has made of our state. At the same time, we are ending his disastrous policies one by one. This is nothing less than a fight for our state and a country – and it is one we are winning.
