There's One Major Problem w/ Gavin Newsom's Controversial Plan & He's Too Dumb to Know

What was said

"Anyone from California that receives any of those funds, we want to tax 100% of those proceeds. And that's an action the state of California can take. It's an action we look forward to taking."

California Governor Gavin Newsom announced plans to impose a 100% state tax on any Californian who receives compensation from the federal DOJ's $1.7 billion Anti-Weaponization Fund, which is designed to compensate citizens unfairly targeted by government. Legal experts cited in the show noted this likely violates the Equal Protection Clause, Due Process, and Bill of Attainder protections in the U.S. Constitution.
