Gavin Newsom on His Emissions Debate with Trump: ‘We Have the Moral Authority’

EXCERPT:

NEWSOM: “I want to work with the president. I want to work with him on emergency declarations, debris removal, on Disaster recovery, I want to work with him on resiliency, broadly defined I want to work with him on getting rid of flavored e-cigarettes. I want to work with him on a myriad of issues, getting prescription drugs down and his alleged commitment to infrastructure. But in the absence of that, we are going to push back when he tries to go after our DREAMers and go after, you know, access to reproductive rights, and go after our diverse communities. And you know, we are going to have the backs of people of the state and our values. And I don’t think the attorney general wakes up looking for a lawsuit but vast majority of these are reacting to assault on this state. And so it’s -- it;s an unfortunate relationship. But the good news, we got a great legal mind here and a legal team and we are winning. And that’s the frustration he’s having. We are winning, he’s losing. And we are winning because we have the law, science and facts on our side, and we have not only the formal authority, we have the moral authority, and that is something missing in this White House."
