Newsom slammed for ‘hypocritical’ resistance to California cities rejecting his policies
A California lawmaker attacked Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) for pursuing what he described as “hypocritical” plans to fight the incoming Trump administration.
Republican state Assemblyman Bill Essayli is far from offering grateful platitudes to the Democratic governor ahead of Thanksgiving. Speaking about Newsom’s recently announced plans to “Trump proof” California and prevent a GOP agenda from touching the Golden State, Essayli said the governor’s move rang insincerely.
"It's frankly hypocritical that Newsom wants to say: ‘As a state, we want to exempt ourselves from Trump’s policies,' but Newsom would never tolerate the same from local jurisdictions exempting themselves from his policies,” the lawmaker told Fox News Digital.
Essayli represents California's 63rd District in Riverside County, one of California’s most populous counties, which is also a majority Hispanic. Essayli won his first election in 2022 with a victory that flipped the district red.
