California Gov. Gavin Newsom criticized Donald Trump’s supporters for attacking Taylor Swift, who has been encouraging people to vote.
Swift endorsed Joe Biden in 2020 and has been advocating for voter registration.
Newsom highlighted that Republicans find this threatening because they don’t want people to vote, as it makes it harder for them to win.
“What is her sin? She wants more people to vote,” he said.
“She wants to help people register to vote and remind them the importance of expressing their democratic rights and responsibilities.”
“That says everything you need to know about the Republican Party. They don’t want people to vote; they want to make it harder because they can’t win if you vote,” he said.
He praised Swift’s resilience and dismissed the attacks from Trump’s allies.
“How sad and pathetic the Republican Party have become that Taylor Swift literally is a threat to them for one reason: She wants folks to turn out and vote.”
“I’m not telling Taylor Swift anything. I’m in awe of her resiliency,” he said.
“I’m not worried about her capacity to weather these rather weak storm systems coming in from Jesse Watters and a few others.”
