Well, well, well.
Guess which scummy governor just had to eat crow.
After being pressured by Sean Duffy and the DOT, a defiant California and Gavin Newsom have had to back off their "we have the best drivers" snarky tweets.
Long story short, California was handing out CDLs to immigrants where the expiration date of the license was LATER than the expiration of their visa.
This is what happened with the Indian trucker who killed three people in Florida.
Here's the Associated Press:
The announcement follows harsh criticism from the Trump administration about California and other states granting licenses to people in the country illegally ...
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said Wednesday that California's action to revoke these licenses is an admission that the state acted improperly even though it previously defended its licensing standards. California launched its review of commercial driver's licenses it issued after Duffy raised concerns.
Translation: Newsom caved because he didn't want to lose the $160 million Duffy was threatening.
(Not because they actually cared about giving licenses to illegal aliens.)
Duffy revoked $40 million in federal funding because he said California isn't enforcing English language requirements for truckers, and he reiterated Wednesday that he will take another $160 million from the state over these improperly issued licenses if they don't invalidate every illegal license and address all the concerns. But revoking these licenses is part of the state's effort to comply.
Money talks, and a win is a win.
