Gov. On Tuesday evening, Gavin Newsom was made to a television address that President Trump’s decision to send military forces to immigration protests in Los Angeles gave a nation to the abyss of authoritarianism.
The California governor urged the Americans to stand up to Mr. Trump and call him a “dangerous moment” for the democracy and long -term legal norms of the country.
“California may be the first, but apparently it will not end here,” Mr. Newsom said, talking to cameras from Los Angeles studio. “Other states are another. Democracy is another.”
“Democracy is attacked just before our eyes – when we feared, he arrived,” he added.
Mr. Newsom spoke about the fifth day of protests in Los Angeles against the federal immigration raids that sent fear and anger through many communities in southern California. He said that Mr. Trump “ignited the flammable situation” by taking over the California National Guard and calling 4,000 soldiers and 700 marines.
In 2028, the governor is considered to be a possible democratic presidential candidate and his Tuesday night speech called “Democracy at the Crossroads”, was to the national scope. It was broadcast on some national networks and social media accounts with sound problems in the opening minutes.
The current political distance allowed Mr. Newsom to have a wider platform and for several days in interviews and on social media he with President Trump and Republicans immersed.
“Authoritarian regimes begin with a focus on people who are the least able to defend themselves,” Mr. Newsom said in his speech. “But they won’t stop there. Trump and its loyalists are doing the division because they allow them to take more power and perform even more control.”
The address was an unusual step for Mr. Newsom, who has dyslexia and does not like reading from the teleprompter to give formal manifestations. However, every possible communication channel uses to increase the alarms of the extraordinary measures that Mr. Trump has taken on mobilization of the army for home use.
Not since the Civil Rights Movement at the age of 60.
“I ask everyone to take the time to think about this dangerous moment,” said, “the president, who wants to be bound by any law or constitution, committed a unified attack on American traditions.”
