California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) announced on Thursday that he joined former President Trump’s Truth Social platform, saying in a tweet that he would be using it to call out and debunk “Republican lies.”
“I just joined Trump’s Truth Social. Going to be on there calling out Republican lies. This could get…interesting,” he wrote on Twitter.
“My first post — breaking down America’s red state murder problem,” he said, adding a link to his Truth Social post.
In a video supplementing his announcement, he said that red states made up the majority of those with the highest murder rates.
Newsom is likely referring to a stat offered by center-left think tank Third Way, which said in a report in March amid rising U.S. crime rates that “8 of the 10 states with the highest murder rates in 2020 voted for the Republican presidential nominee in every election this century.”
The addition of California governor, who has floated as a possible presidential candidate, is potentially a boon to Trump’s struggling social network given that it could prompt other high-profile Democrats to join.
Trump started Truth Social after he was kicked off several social media platforms following the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot and has since then began issuing statements through there, in addition to his Save America PAC.
Several weeks after it launched, it was mired in a long waitlist for users seeking to join and not a lot of activity.
Trump issued a statement through Truth Social pushing back against the House select committee investigating the Capitol riot for their first public June hearing.
