SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA– California Gov. Gavin Newsom took to Twitter to respond to President Donald Trump’s “greatly embellished” claim that the Golden State has a major homeless crisis that needs to be addressed or else the feds will step in.
Newsom stated that after talking to his aunt, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, he realized that Trump has a history of making exaggerated claims about the popular West Coast state, such as having high taxes, high crime, high poverty, high homelessness, and high politicians.
“After speaking to my Aunt Nancy,” Newsom wrote on one of his many tweets, “she told me that Trump is making up the homeless problem because his orange skin triggers the part of his brain that controls telling the truth.”
The governor, who cites American Psycho as his favorite flick, went on to say that California doesn’t have any homeless citizens and everyone is doing just fine, going so far as to offer a reward to anyone who can find even one residentially-challenged person in the state.
While giving a televised interview in front of thousands of homeless people sleeping inside tents, Newsom fired back at Trump with shots of the beautiful city as proof that the president is a hyperbolic, exaggerating, overemphasizing, embellisher.
“Look at how gorgeous I am–I mean–our city,” Newsom told reporters as he used his handsome face to block the video camera from panning around the high-homeless area. “Like I said, you won’t see one indigent person anywhere. If anyone finds even one homeless person in this state then I’ll step down as the governor of California, or my name’s not Gavin Schiff-Pelosi.”
