Newsom admits he can’t protect Californians from pro-terrorist protesters

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) is a failure in many ways, and he added a new embarrassment to his record by saying that the state could not keep people safe from pro-terrorist protesters at a Christmas tree lighting.
Newsom canceled the 92nd annual Sacramento Christmas tree lighting and relegated the live performances to being streamed online because “pro-Palestinian” (read: pro-Hamas) protesters were planning a protest. Rather than acting like a real governor and guaranteeing that violent protesters would be arrested and prosecuted and that all people would be protected, Newsom decided to cancel the ceremony instead.

“As we continue to see protests across the country impacting the safety of events of all scales — and for the safety and security of all participating members and guests including children and families — the ceremony this year will be virtual,” Newsom said. This comes after protesters at New York City’s ceremony chanted genocidal slogans, tried to break down police barriers, and reportedly assaulted people, resulting in seven arrests.

Newsom indirectly admits two things by canceling Sacramento’s lighting ceremony. The first is that these pro-terrorist protesters who are a part of the Democratic activist coalition are violent, which is probably why Newsom doesn’t want more videos of them chanting for genocide “from the river to the sea,” harassing people, or heckling police officers. The other is that California is every bit as lawless as everyone claims because neither Newsom nor Sacramento officials feel like they could protect people’s safety when those pro-terrorist thugs arrive.
The fact that Newsom doesn’t have the spine to guarantee the safety of people trying to enjoy a Christmas tradition is yet another indictment of his leadership. While not quite “negotiating with terrorists,” this decision is Newsom surrendering to antisemitic terrorist sympathizers in order to avoid either having to arrest them or having them become further shrouded in bad publicity due to their protests. It is a politically slimy and cowardly move, and it is the kind of move that Newsom has made himself known for in the past five years.
