It’s merely harassment of the Governor—a Democrat. I can not, in good conscience, demand that the Governor of California do something that he lacks the power to do. Newsom can not prevent federal goons from protecting federal property. He can’t keep them out, so I am not going to ask him to do so.

What makes you think he can't do this? CaliforniaPeggy Jul 2020 #2

The feds have the right to protect federal property. Laelth Jul 2020 #3

OK. I get you. Except they weren't protecting it. That was their excuse. n/t CaliforniaPeggy Jul 2020 #4

No. They weren't. It was an excuse. Laelth Jul 2020 #5
