Speaker Mickey: Newsom Should be 'Tarred and Feathered'

Speaker Mike Johnson on Tuesday once again aligned himself with President Donald Trump, saying the president is "absolutely right" to send the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles as protests over against Immigration and Customs Enforcement continue -- and sided with the president's criticism of California Gov. Gavin Newsom, adding that the California governor should be "tarred and feathered."

"President Trump has put his (tiny) hand on the table and said 'Not on my watch,' and we applaud that so we're standing with him," Johnson said during a news conference.

"Look, that's not my lane. I'm not going to give you legal analysis on whether Gavin Newsom should be arrested, but he ought to be tarred and feathered," the speaker said."

Newsom fired back in a post on X:

"Good to know we're skipping the arrest and going straight for the 1700's style forms of punishment. A fitting threat given the @GOP want to bring our country back to the 18th Century."

Wonder if he would like to try to do that to Newsome himself? I bet not.

idk about that, but he certainly should have to give up his wealth until the State is whole again.
