BREAKING: Michael Gates, the Huntington Beach City Attorney who defeated Gavin Newsom’s Voter ID ban, just got hired by President Trump to serve at the Justice Department.
“Hi everybody. Just wanted to announce that I have accepted a position with the Department of Justice, working in the Attorney General’s Office, Civil Rights Division, as the Deputy Assistant Attorney General. We are going to be working under the Trump administration to make America great again. So it’s going to be an absolute honor and an absolute privilege to serve this country in this way at this time. It’s just an opportunity of a lifetime.
Huntington Beach is going to be in good hands. They’re going to continue the fights against Newsom and the state of California. They’re going to continue to set an example to bring common-sense governance back to California. And so, from Huntington Beach to D.C., we’re going to keep fighting to restore this nation, restore the rule of law, and law and order. And I can’t wait to get to work. Thank you very much for your support for what we’re doing here in Huntington Beach. Continue that support, please. And then also know, keep your prayers up, pray for us in D.C.” – Michael Gates
