Newsom Says Origin of Recall Effort Has Ties to Right-Wing Militia Groups, QAnon Conspiracy Theories, Three Percenters, Proud Boys (VIDEO)
Embattled California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) said “right-wing” groups like QAnon supporters and Proud Boys are behind efforts to boot him from office on Tuesday during an appearance on “The View.”
Republicans launched a robust effort to recall Gavin Newsom and gathered more than $2 million of the $1.5 million signatures needed by the March 17 deadline.
According to reports, more than 30% of the people who signed the petition to recall Newsom are Democrats and Independents, but Newsom blamed QAnon.
Newsom told Joy Behar that the “top ten proponents” of the recall effort against him are members of various “right-wing” extremist groups who “supported the insurrection and quite literally, enthusiastically support QAnon conspiracy theories.”
“That’s the origin here,” he said.
