Nick Adams, founder and president of the Foundation for Liberty & American Greatness, suggested that the effort to replace Newsom had been an embarrassment to conservatives.

“We didn’t just lose in California, we got embarrassed,” Adams said. “What a waste of time and resources. Leave California!”

Adams wasn’t the only conservative to suggest people leave the state of California.

Brigitte Gabriel, founder and chairman of ACT for America, tweeted: “Dear Republicans in California, Your vote will make a difference in Florida, Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Texas. Make the move!”
