Newsom at Munich Security Conference: ‘I Am Showing Up’ on Climate, ‘Trump Is Doubling Down on Stupid’

EXCERPT:

NEWSOM: "I'm showing up.
(Applause)
Look, it's — Donald Trump is doubling down on stupid. California has been a leader in climate policy going back to Ronald Reagan. 1967, Governor Ronald Reagan established the first tailpipe emissions in the United States of America, created the California Air Resources Board. Three years later, president by the name of Richard Nixon, another Republican, codified California's leadership under the Clean Air Act. Never in the history of the United States of America has there been a more destructive president than the current occupant in the White House in Washington D.C.. He’s trying to recreate the 19th century. He’s a wholly owned subsidiary of big oil, gas and coal. He is quite literally reopening coal plants in the United States of America. He’s received close to half a billion dollars in campaign contributions. He asked for one billion, look it up, in return for basically eliminating all regulations in the United States of America. De facto, he just did that yesterday with federal regulations and the endangerment finding.”
