Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) is peddling falsehoods in an attempt to mar Vice President JD Vance’s visit to Camp Pendleton on Saturday, including falsely claiming an amphibious capabilities demonstration would result in the closure of the I-5 highway and that America’s troops would not be paid.

The event will be followed by a celebration on Del Mar Beach in honor of the Marine Corps’ forthcoming 250th birthday, which is November tenth.

Newsom and his press office seized on an anonymously-sourced article from far-left outlet MeidasTouch, which claimed that “the White House will shut down portions of the I-5 for Vice President JD Vance’s Marine Corps spectacle during No Kings Protests, triggering chaos, gridlock, and outrage amid the government shutdown.”
