Sen. Blakespear Condemns Trump’s Comments about Destruction of San Diego and Los Angeles

SACRAMENTO – Sen. Catherine S. Blakespear, D-Encinitas, on Tuesday issued the following statement regarding comments made by President Trump at a campaign rally on Monday.

“I’m appalled and disgusted that President Trump would suggest that the destruction of San Diego or Los Angeles would be ‘a very small price to pay’ in a war with Iran. This is unacceptable from our commander in chief, whose duty is to protect the national security of the entire nation and all Americans, not just the cities he likes.”

Sen. Blakespear represents Senate District 38, which covers northern San Diego County and southern Orange County. To learn more about the district and Sen. Blakespear, visit her Senate website.
