Vice President Mike Pence recently sent a letter to the leader of the California State Assembly in an attempt to ease the tensions between the White House and the Democrat-controlled statehouse in Sacramento. The sarcastic reply from Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon was probably not what he expected in return. “Thanks to your policies, voters in California added five Democrats to the Assembly in the last election,” Rendon wrote. In his letter, Rendon goes on to question how Pence thinks the Trump administration is respecting California’s rights by waging “constant legal battles” and leveling threats against the state. The state itself has sued the Trump administration 47 times in the past two years, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
