Senator John Kennedy thanked Governor Gavin Newsom for sending California state police to major cities, calling the move intelligent and surprising. Kennedy linked the deployment to the Trump administration's threat to send federal law enforcement, saying he would accept Newsom's action even if prompted by that pressure. Kennedy criticized Newsom's record, alleging rising crime under his governorship and accusing him of belonging to the socialist wing of his party and of prioritizing criticism of police over addressing criminals. Kennedy said the deployment is the right step and credited Newsom for the decision.
I want to make a rare note of gratitude to Governor Newsom, said Kennedy. He has surprised all of us and done something intelligent. You don't have to be a senior at Cal Tech to know that's in response to the [Donald] Trump administration's threat to send federal law enforcement officials, but look, I'll take it, he continued. If that's what it takes to get Governor Newsom to stop being a princess, I'll take that too.
Every year that [Newsom] has been governor, crime and violence has gotten worse in California. Why? Because Governor Newsom is a member of the socialist wing of his party. Because Governor Newsom has refused to get up off his ice-cold, lazy butt and do something about it. Because Governor Newsom thinks that talking about crime he's only doing it under pressure is racist, because he thinks that cops are a bigger problem than criminals.
