So he definitely piqued my interest [View all]

I heard Gavin Newsom say this live yesterday, and it left me with more questions than answers. Then I saw that Aaron Rupar helpfully transcribed his comments on bluesky so here they are in case you missed them:

Newsom: "He's been a stone cold liar about what he said we talked about. He never discussed the National Guard. Period. Full stop. I would love to share with you what he actually talked about. It would send shivers up your spine."

My memory is that Newsom was saying this in front of the press. Did they ask him what he meant or to elaborate? I will say also that my impression at the time was that Newsom was throwing this out as a warning. Kind of like, don't make me tell everyone what you said, donnie.

The whole thing is puzzling, and I don't think we've heard the end of it.
