Newsom asked about his trump trolling tweets. Good answer

Q: What’s going on with those posts that are clearly trolling Trump?

Gov. Newsom: I’m following his example. If you've got issues with what I’m putting out, you sure as hell should have concerns with what he’s putting out

Is the goal just to blurt out any question regardless of substance? Questions should always be substantive. Who the hell knows what the answers will be. And that’s the point.
