Mike Johnson Refuses To Say Whether Gavin Newsom Should Be Arrested, Claims He 'Ought To Be Tar And Feathered'

House Speaker Mike Johnson

House Speaker Mike Johnson refused to say whether he believes California Gov. Gavin Newsom should be arrested over his opposition to immigration-related enforcement operations in Los Angeles, but claimed that he should be at least "tar and feathered."

"Um, that's not my lane. I'm not gonna give you legal analysis on whether Gavin Newsom should be arrested. But he ought to be tar and feathered, I'll say that," Johnson told press on Tuesday. President Donald Trump said on Monday that he would pursue Newsom's arrest if he were border czar Tom Homan, but the official downplayed the possibility after also threatening to do so.
