California Gov. Newsom is running full-page ads in Texas newspapers trolling Republican Gov. Abbott to highlight a new California gun law modeled on the states restrictive abortion law.
Both the Texas abortion restriction and the new California gun measure are seen by critics as encouraging"vigilantism." The American Civil Liberties Union opposed Newsom's bill by warning it could “escalate an ‘arms race’ ... by setting up bounty-hunting schemes on politically sensitive issues.”
He also said the California measure was written in a way that “forces the Supreme Court to reconcile their decision" on Texas' law, when it decided not to block enforcement of the law in December.All this national action has led many to wonder if Newsom is indeed eyeing national office. “In no way, shape or form this has anything to do with that. Period. Full stop. Add six or seven exclamation points,” he told NBC News.
His supporters have been thrilled with his out-of-state activities, and he said “the ads pay for themselves” with the extra contributions they generate, while noting that was never the intention of running them.
