Newsom Says Origin of Recall Effort Has Ties to Right-Wing Militia Groups, QAnon Conspiracy Theories, Three Percenters, Proud Boys
By Cristina Laila
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.
