<< Speaking truth to power in relation to ICE protests in LA. demanding Trump to 'stand down'. >>
WHY IT MATTERS
Newsom has not been shy in holding the Federal government responsible for the escalations in L.A.
We need leaders to model courage.
To an extent, we all believe what we want to believe. However, is there actual evidence to support the narrative that we choose to believe. Love or hate him - or somewhere in between - Gavin Newsom here says nothing that any right minded person could reasonably disagree with. He:
Acknowledges that those who are behaving anarchically are unacceptable
Highlights the illegalities of the Trump administrations actions
Articulates very clearly a desire to work constructively with Trump
Speaks directly - highlighting Trump’a lies.
Represents his constituents
None of us deserve leadership who have such little respect for us that they believe it is acceptable to constantly lie to us.
