Gov. Newsom: This Is an Extraordinary Moment for Our Party

EXCERPT:

NEWSOM: “Next year is the 250th anniversary of the best of Roman Republic, the best of Greek democracy. This fundamental notion of a system of checks and balances, a popular sovereignty, the rule of law, Mr. President, the rule of law, not the rule of Don. And I hope it's dawning on people, the sobriety of this moment, what's at stake. Tonight, as I said, is an extraordinary moment for our party. But again, it's an extraordinary moment affirming those principles. Our Founding Fathers did not live and die to see the kind of vandalism to this republic and our democracy that Donald Trump is trying to perpetuate.”
