Gov. Gavin Newsom announced fortified security measures Thursday for the California State Capitol and other government buildings as law enforcement braces for potential unrest ahead of President-elect Joe Biden’s inaugural next Wednesday.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation warned this week that all 50 statehouses could see violence flare after rioters overtook Congress last week and as Biden’s imminent ascension inflames conservatives and anti-government activists. Underscoring the peril, speakers at a Thursday budget hearing made thinly-veiled threats of violence against state lawmakers.
“In light of events in our nation’s capital last week, California is taking important steps to protect public safety at the State Capitol, and across the state,” Newsom said in a statement. “Our State Operations Center is actively working with federal, state and local law enforcement partners in assessing threats and sharing intelligence and information to ensure those disgraceful actions are not repeated here.
One woman decried vaccinations before noting that Americans had purchased millions of guns in recent weeks and ominously asking, “What do you think they’re going do with them?” Another spoke of a “new world order” and told legislators they are “going to be the first to go.”They singled out Newsom and State Sen. Richard Pan , the author of bills tightening student vaccination requirements, promising political repercussions.
