Trump Criticizes Harris and Newsom, Misstates Their Roles in California Policies
During a press conference, Trump inaccurately attributed California's crime policies to Harris and Newsom, overlooking key details about Proposition 47.
- Trump claimed Harris and Newsom 'destroyed' San Francisco and California with their policies.
- He mistakenly suggested Harris was responsible for Proposition 47, a 2014 law reclassifying certain thefts as misdemeanors.
- Proposition 47 aimed to reduce prison overcrowding and was passed during Jerry Brown's governorship.
- Harris did not take a public stance on Proposition 47 as Attorney General.
- Trump's remarks included an inadvertent compliment about the state of San Francisco 15 years ago, when Harris and Newsom were in local office.
