The Governor of California, Gavin Newsom (D) sat down with CNN’s “AC360” to discuss the state of California during this pandemic. Surprisingly, Governor Newsom had nothing but high praise and compliments for President Trump’s handling of the COVID-19 outbreak. Newsom told CNN that the president has fulfilled every single direct request that the state of California has asked of the president and his administration.

During the brief interview Newsom told CNN’s Anderson Cooper, “Every single direct request that he was capable of meeting, he has met. We have the USNS Mercy in California because of his direct intervention and support. 2,000 of these federal medical stations because of his direct support. And so, I can only speak for myself, but I have to be complimentary, otherwise, I would be simply lying to you, misleading you. And that is a wonderful thing to be able to say, and I hope that continues.”

We thank you for your honesty in this time of crisis Governor Newsom, that is exactly what this country needs.
