Gavin Newsom: California Will Neutralize Texas if They Go Ahead with Redistricting

TRANSCRIPT:

NEWSOM: "Hey, President Trump, it’s time to stand down. It’s time to make another phone call to Greg Abbott. This time, instead of calling him and telling him you're 'entitled' to five congressional seats, it’s time to tell him to stand down. It’s time to recognize that democracy is at risk. It’s time to, dare I say, do the right thing. Actually see how that feels for you, doing the right thing. If you don’t, California, will neutralize anything you do in the state of Texas. California will continue to punch above its weight. We believe in democracy. We believe in the enduring values of our Founding Fathers, 249 years. We're not going to sit back passively. We're not going to sit back and watch you light democracy on fire. We will fight fire with fire."
