Californians blast Trump remark that Iran could ‘take out’ Los Angeles, San Diego
The U.S. president's remarks drew a swift rebuke from California's Democratic leaders and some fellow Republicans.
California's Democratic leaders and some Republican counterparts swiftly condemned a remark by U.S. President Donald Trump at a rally in Nebraska, in which he suggested Iran could "take out" major U.S. cities like Los Angeles or San Diego. The statement came during Trump's discussion of the costs of war, as he sought to highlight the sacrifices made by Americans in wartime.
