Excerpt:
“We have zero tolerance for direct or implicit threats against government officials. I’ve referred this matter to [The US Secret Service] and requested a full threat assessment.”
Acting US Attorney for the Central District of California, Bill Essayli, said Saturday he has referred a social media post from Governor Gavin Newsom’s press office to the Secret Service that he said could have been a potential threat against Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
Earlier Saturday morning, Newsom’s press office posted on X, “Kristi Noem is going to have a bad day today. You’re welcome, America.” The initial post did not clarify what it was referencing.
DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin condemned the remark on X, writing, “This reads like a threat. This is ugly [Gavin Newsom]. Your keyboard warrior team may hide behind their laptops and spew this kind of vitriol but you would never have the guts to say this to her face.”
