Donald Trump’s remark that Iran could “take out” Los Angeles and San Diego has sparked fierce backlash from California politicians – and a strongly worded rebuttal from the White House.
California Governor Gavin Newsom condemned the comment – made by Trump at a campaign rally in Nebraska – as “deranged and dangerous,” while LA Mayor Karen Bass described them as threats and an attempt to “encourage attacks on American lives”.
According to the White House, however, Trump was saying that American cities would have been threatened by Iran had he not launched a war there earlier this year.
Not sure about San Diego but LA? Go for it!
