President Donald Trump has threatened to send the National Guard into blue cities like New York, Chicago, and L.A. to combat what Trump says is out-of-control crime. But California Governor turned full-time Trump troll Gavin Newsom says if the president is serious about cracking down on murder, he should focus on Louisiana instead.
There’s only one problem, though, according to Newsom: Louisiana, and Shreveport specifically, is House Speaker and MAGA ally Mike Johnson‘s district. “Just look at the murder rate,” that’s nearly four times higher in Louisiana than in California, Newsom said in a video shared online, flanked by law enforcement officers and banked by the American flag and the flag of California. Newsom has previously said Shreveport, where Johnson was born, has a per capita murder rate six times that of San Francisco.
