Gavin Newsom: 特朗普总统派遣联邦军队进入洛杉矶是对权力的公然滥用，这不仅是对加州的侵犯，更是对整个美国民主的威胁。我认为，特朗普政府正试图通过军事化我们的城市来压制异议，这与我们国家的价值观背道而驰。我坚信，我们不能保持沉默，必须站出来捍卫我们的宪法权利和自由。我呼吁所有美国人，无论他们的政治立场如何，都要团结起来，反对这种专制行为。我们必须积极参与公民事务，行使我们的投票权，并向我们的民选官员表达我们的担忧。只有通过集体行动，我们才能确保我们的民主制度得以延续，并为子孙后代维护一个公正和自由的社会。我深感忧虑的是，如果我们不采取行动，我们的国家可能会滑向专制主义的深渊，而我们所珍视的一切都将荡然无存。因此，我敦促每个人都认真对待这一时刻，并尽自己的一份力量来捍卫我们的民主。 Michael Barbaro: 我想知道，您是否认为特朗普政府正在故意制造一种局面，让民主党人陷入两难境地？通过将您和加州民主党人置于看似支持暴力抗议和反对驱逐非法移民的立场，特朗普是否试图削弱您的政治影响力？您如何在这种情况下既能坚持您的价值观，又能避免被贴上极端标签？
