Newsom Press Office Referred to Secret Service Over Post About Kristi Noem

A social media post from California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s press office has reportedly been referred to the Secret Service, according to Acting U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli. 

Essayli posted that the federal government has “zero tolerance for direct or implicit threats against government officials.” He reported it to the Secret Sevice, he said in a social media post. 

Gov. Newsom’s press account posted: Kristi Noem is going to have a bad day today. You’re welcome, America.”

Noem is the Secretary of the US Department of Homeland Security. 

Newsom posted that eight days after conservative debater Charlie Kirk was assassinated in Utah on the first stop of his American Comeback Tour by a deranged 22-year-old who was caught and will face the death penalty if convicted. 

Newsom condemned that political violence, but then continued targeting politicians on social media. 

On September 10, Newsom posted: 

“The attack on Charlie Kirk is disgusting, vile, and reprehensible. In the United States of America, we must reject political violence in EVERY form.”

Then, 10 days later, Newsom’s press office posted an eerily message aimed at another conservative political figure who’s speaking at an event in Michigan today. 

A top comment on the social media post noted that apparent change of heart for the Democratic governor who wants to run for president. 

Others called out Newsom for the post. 

Writer Eric Daugherty posted: 

Entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy condemned the vague post. He called on Newsom to “Do better.” 

The government’s response to the social media post follows heightened political violence over the past few years. 

While campaigning for president, Donald Trump was shot in the ear at a rally in Pennsylvania. 

In June, a masked gunman shot and killed Minnesota House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark Hortman. That shooter also shot  Minnesota State Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette Hoffman, and the attempted shooting of their daughter Hope Hoffman. Those three survived.
