California Governor, Gavin Newsom, defended his attacks against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
In a video posted to Twitter on Friday, Newsom claimed that he was fighting back against to what he referred to as bullying from DeSantis. The California Democrat referred to co*ments the Florida Republican made about Doctor Anthony Fauci.
Newsom went on to decry red states, like Florida and Texas, that are enforcing pro-life laws. In the video, he also added that California remains a pro-abortion state.
“I don’t like it. I don’t like DeSantis… the way he talked about Fauci,” Newsom said. “You can disagree with people. They’re bullies. My mom used to wash my mouth out with soap if I talk like that. I don’t like what’s happening. Threatening people if they co*e to California for Reproductive Rights in States like Texas placing bounties, it’s a serious moment in American history. So why I’m doing those ads? It’s because I can’t take it. I gotta sleep at night.”
This statement co*es after Newsom threw his support behind DeSantis’s gubernatorial opponent Charlie Crist. He pledged $100,000 to Crist’s Florida campaign.
Despite the endorsement from Democrat darling Newsom, polls show Crist trailing DeSantis ahead of the November gubernatorial election.
