Gov. Gavin Newsom challenged Vice President J.D. Vance to a debate after Vance called Sen. Alex Padilla "Jose" during a press conference in Los Angeles Friday.

Vance, who was in the city to meet with federal officials after weeks of protests of immigration raids and detentions, repeatedly slammed Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass during the press conference for their stances on immigration and pushback against the administration of President

"I was hoping Jose Padilla would be here to ask a question. But unfortunately I guess he decided to not show up because there wasn't the theater," Vance said. "It's pure political theater."

"Since you're so eager to talk about me, how about saying it to my face? Let's debate. Time and place?" Newsom wrote.

4. It infuriates me that the judges sided with trump re the national guard

Where does that leave Newsom?

There are people on Nextdoor calling for him to be recalled AGAIN.

7. I think they were bound to because of a law

I don't think a President should have the power to take over a National Guard either, but legally they can to prevent civil wars from a rogue governor. LBJ did it too.

5. Gov. Newsom would destroy VD Jance in a debate.

6. He would probably make him cry.

8. Vance is such a republican dick in the order of trump.
