Protect the Protestors in Paramount, CA
To: Gov. Newsom
From: A verified voter in San Diego, CA
June 7
I used to believe in you, but your behavior over the last six months has been, at best, disappointing. I’m disillusioned and frankly quite furious with your behavior. Bringing a nazi on to your podcast was gross, but you should be on top of the current protest in Paramount. It’s happening RIGHT NOW. Where are you? Are you going to side with the protestors, with the families and parents who had to flee their children’s graduations from elementary school? Don’t you dare side with law enforcement on this one. They have been nothing but escalatory. They’re starting fires, for heaven’s sake! If literally nothing else—if the fears and trauma of children don’t matter to you, if the egregious actions against protestors don’t matter to you, if NOTHING ELSE MATTERS TO YOU—imagine the fallout of law enforcement setting a wildfire in L.A. county. The lawsuits, the PR disaster, the people losing their homes and lives. Do not side with law enforcement against the protestors in Paramount. Get down there out of your ivory tower and help people.
