President Donald Trump said his border czar, Tom Homan, should arrest Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom as the riots in Los Angeles continue.
Newsom dared Homan to arrest him after NBC News aired a clip of the border czar warning that any government official can face federal charges if they obstruct immigration enforcement as wide-scale riots break out across Los Angeles. Trump responded to Newsom’s dare, saying he would do it if he was the border czar.
“Gavin Newsom is daring Tom Homan to come and arrest him. Should he do it?” Fox News’ Peter Doocy asked Trump on Monday.
“I would do it, if I were Tom,” Trump responded with a smirk.
“Gavin likes the publicity, but I think it would be a great thing. He’s done a terrible job. Look, I like Gavin Newsom. He’s a nice guy, but he’s grossly incompetent,” the president continued. “Everybody knows all you have to do is look at the little railroad he’s building. It’s about 100 times over budget.”
