Newsom, Elder sharpen their attacks after poll shows support for recall effort waning

Appearing in San Francisco’s Chinatown, Newsom attacked Elder for vowing to immediately rescind the state’s public school mask mandates and vaccine requirements for state and healthcare workers, a change the governor said would reverse California’s success in mitigating the spread of COVID-19.

“That’s a life and death decision,” Newsom said of the Sept. 14 recall vote at a news conference with Asian American leaders supporting his campaign.

Meanwhile Elder made an appearance at the the Hall of Justice in downtown Los Angeles on Thursday, where he was flanked by those who have lost loved ones to violent crime, and accused Newsom of failing to keep California safe through his policies and his support of progressive prosecutors such as L.A. County Dist. Atty. George Gascón.

Calling Gascón soft on crime, Elder blamed him for a spike in violence in the state s largest city and criticized his refusal to make use of sentencing enhancements in most cases.

Without Gascón, these crimes would be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Gascón & is a product of our governor, Gavin Newsom, Elder said.
