President Donald Trump has publicly voiced his support for the arrest of a sitting state governor.
Speaking to reporters at the White House Monday, the president responded to a question from Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy regarding the ongoing back-and-forth between California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Trump’s “border czar” Tom Homan.
“Gavin Newsom is daring Tom Homan to come and arrest him,” Doocy asked Trump in the video captured by CNN cameras. “Should he do it?”
Trump endorsed the idea, responding, “I would do it if I were Tom.”
“I think it’s great. Gavin likes the publicity, but I think it would be a great thing,” Trump said. He continued by calling Newsom a “nice guy,” but “grossly incompetent.”

Later Monday afternoon, during a press conference in Washington D.C., when pressed by reporters about what crime Newsom has committed to warrant a potential arrest, Trump said, “I think his primary crime is running for governor, because he’s done such a bad job.”
