Nationally syndicated radio host Larry Elder threatened to sue California over the state’s decision to leave him off the list of candidates running in the recall election targeting Gov. Gavin Newsom.
The controversy reportedly centers on Elder’s tax returns which he claims to have submitted.
“We’re in court in less than an hour over this B.S. Before we submitted the over 200 pages of 5 yrs of tax returns, my accountant made sure we complied with the law, as did two election law lawyers,” Elder tweeted on Monday.
Elder, 69, was forced to take a leave of absence from his radio show when he announced his intentions to run in the recall election. His syndicator, Salem Radio Network, announced Carl Jackson would take his place during the process.
“This new law was passed by the supermajority Democrat legislature to force Trump to turn over his tax returns to get on the 2020 ballot,” Elder asserted on Twitter. “California Supreme Court struck it down unanimously for presidential, but let it stand for gubernatorial elections.”
If Newsom is recalled, then whoever on the list of potential replacements gets the most votes is the new governor of the nation’s most populous state.
“The state is practically ungovernable with Democrats enjoying supermajorities in the Senate and the Assembly, plus a left-wing clueless governor totally beholden to the teachers union that opposes choice in school,” Elder said.
