The loathsome Newsom

A filthy LIE: Gavin Newsom pounded for false claim illegal truck driver was granted work permit by Trump




Snarky repeats of the same timeline by California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D) troll account weren’t enough to buck the blame over a fatal Florida crash.

Tragedy in the Sunshine State left three people dead and an illegal alien facing vehicular homicide charges following an attempted unlawful U-turn on the Florida Turnpike. As the once-Golden State was faulted for issuing the commercial driver’s license, attempts by the Governor Newsom Press Office account to steer clear of accountability were met with fact checks from the Department of Homeland Security.

A particularly scathing rebuke was delivered by DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin after the GovPressOffice account faulted President Donald Trump’s administration for issuing a work permit.

“False. Harjinder Singh is in the United States illegally and his work authorization was rejected under the Trump Administration on September 14, 2020. It was later approved under the Biden Administration June 9, 2021,” wrote the DHS spokeswoman in response to the account arguing, “Hey, genius: the federal government (TRUMP ADMIN) already confirmed that this guy meets federal and state immigration requirements — YOU issued him a work permit (EAD). As usual, the Trump Administration is either lying or clueless….”

McLaughlin concluded her point by adding, “The state of California issues Commercial Drivers Licenses. There is no national CDL. Sincerely, Genius.”

Newsom’s troll account shared the same timeline in response to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, referring to her as “Commander Cosplay,” and emphasizing that he only became governor in January 2019 without a reminder that his current position followed eight years as lieutenant governor under then-Gov Gov. Jerry Brown (D).
