Orange County vs. Gavin Newsom

It all started when the weather took a turn for the better. Surfers and beachgoers flocked to Orange County shores, only to find them cordoned off, at the behest of Governor Gavin Newsom.

But, in the world of Republican politics, you ignore Orange County at your own peril.
