At today's House Republican leadership press briefing, Speaker Johnson slammed Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA).
Transcript
00:00Speaker Johnson, the president said possibly in jest that if he were Tom Homan, he would arrest Gavin Newsom.
00:07Do you believe that Newsom should face consequences in a legal way?
00:12Look, that's not my lane. I'm not going to give you legal analysis on whether Gavin Newsom should be arrested,
00:17but he ought to be tarred and feathered, I'll say that.
00:19I mean, look, he's standing in the way of the administration and the carrying out of federal law, right?
00:26He is applauding the bad guys and standing in the way of the good guys.
00:31He is a participant, an accomplice in our federal law enforcement agents being not just disrespected but assaulted.
00:40This is a serious problem, and the governor is now filing a lawsuit against the president.
00:45What a joke. Do your job, man. That's what I tell Gavin Newsom.
00:48Do your job. Stop working on your rebranding and be a governor.
00:52Stand up for the rule of law. He's not doing that.
00:54So I don't know what the ultimate measure will be there, but I know that in the interim time,
00:58the president of the United States is showing real leadership, and we're not going to allow L.A. to burn.
01:03We've seen this movie before, right?
01:05This thing gets out of hand real quickly, especially in a big city like that,
01:08and if local and state officials are unwilling or unable to do their job,
01:12the president of the United States will do his, and we support that fully.
01:15Yes.
