Senator Tuberville (R-Ala.), a former Auburn coach, called for the California Governor’s arrest in the wake of the protests and civil unrest in Los Angeles. In a recent interview with Florida’s Voice, the Senator said, “Lock [Newsom] up,” before adding that Los Angeles “looks like a third world country — anarchists are in charge, law enforcement is being attacked and the rule of law is nonexistent.” President Trump had also called for Newsom’s arrest on the grounds that he had allegedly done a bad job as the Governor of California. Fielding questions from the media in the State Dining Room at the White House, Trump stated, “What crime has [Governor Newsom] committed? I think his primary crime is running for governor because he’s done such a bad job. What he’s done to that state is like what Biden did to this country. And that’s pretty bad.”
