Only in California. Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom now has monitors to monitor the monitors after the Department of Justice announced it will be \u201coverseeing\u201d his orchestrated special election on November 4th to add 5 more Democratic seats to the U.S. House.<\/p>\n
California Attorney General Rob Bonta is already crying foul, accusing President Donald Trump of sending monitors to the state to \u201csow seeds of doubt\u201d about the integrity of the upcoming special election on Prop 50. The measure would let voters decide whether to temporarily scrap the state\u2019s so-called independent redistricting commission \u2014 the same one Democrats have used to lock in their political dominance for years.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re not going to be allowed to interfere in ways that the law prohibits,\u201d Bonta, a Democrat, told reporters during a virtual news conference. \u201cWe cannot be naive. The Republican Party asked for the U.S. DOJ to come in.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe [Trump] is laying the groundwork. He is socializing an idea that is very dangerous,\u201d Bonta added. \u201cAll indications, all arrows show that this is a tee-up for something more dangerous in the 2026 midterms \u2014 and maybe beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n
In response to the announcement about California\u2019s new \u201cmonitors,\u201d Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon took to X and said what most sane people were already thinking \u2014 it had to be a joke.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought this was a joke, so I didn\u2019t comment\u2026. But apparently irony is dead \u2026,\u201d Dhillon\u2019s post read.<\/p>\n
