SACRAMENTO Leaders of the California Democratic Party on Tuesday called the effort to recall Gov. Gavin Newsom an attempted “coup” and suggested without providing evidence that organizers were linked to the attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Rusty Hicks, the state party chair, and several other prominent Democrats repeatedly made those claims during a news conference they held to discuss “connections” between the recall and last week’s deadly riot by pro-President Trump forces in Washington.
