The 250th anniversary celebration of the U.S. Marine Corps at San Diego County’s Camp Pendleton on Saturday sparked a heated social media exchange between California Gov. Gavin Newsom<\/a> and the White House.<\/p>\n

The event \u2014 titled “America\u2019s Marines 250<\/a>: From Sea to Shore: A Review of Amphibious Strength” \u2014 featured a range of festivities at the Marine Corps base, including a large-scale live-fire demonstration that was attended by Vice President JD Vance.<\/p>\n

Newsom blasted the display of military power as “dangerous” and “an absurd show of force,” announcing on Saturday that a section of Interstate 5 near the base would be temporarily closed during the celebration.<\/p>\n

“Because of the Trump Admin\u2019s plans<\/a>, drivers should expect delays on Interstate 5 and other state routes throughout Southern California before, during and after the event,” Newsom posted to X.<\/p>\n

The Democrat doubled down later in the day, accusing the White House of denying earlier in the week that any freeway closures would be needed, despite the use of live munitions.<\/p>\n

However, the White House quickly fired back, accusing Newsom of distorting the facts.<\/p>\n

“Newscum is lying,” the White House\u2019s Rapid Response account posted to X. “He closed the highway \u2014 not only did nobody at the White House<\/a> or the Marines ask him to do so, the Marines repeatedly said there are no public safety concerns with today\u2019s exercises. Newscum lies and tries to make it about himself? Day ending in \u2018y.'”<\/p>\n

The White House account also reposted an X post from Trump advisor Alex Bruesewitz, who wrote, “Gavin Newscum is shutting down a major CA highway just because JD Vance<\/a> is in the state. Inconveniencing tens of thousands of Americans. What a petty little man.”<\/p>\n

Newsom then rebuttled, “The [California Highway Patrol] and highway safety experts are saying what any person with common sense knows: It is not safe for people to drive on a major freeway at high speeds directly under LIVE MUNITIONS.”<\/p>\n

He added, “White House not communicating, endangering the public, and then trying to blame the Governor for doing the right thing \u2014 keeping people out of harm\u2019s way \u2014 yet another day living in Trump\u2019s authoritarian America.”<\/p>\n

The exchange followed days of tension between Newsom and the Trump administration over the Camp Pendleton event.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Earlier in the week, the California governor called the anniversary celebration a “vanity parade.”<\/p>\n

“Donald Trump and JD Vance think that shutting down the I-5 to shoot out missiles from ships is how you respect the military,” Newsom posted to X Wednesday, while reposting an X post from left-leaning outlet MeidasTouch that claimed the White House planned to close parts of the I-5 during the event. “PUT ASIDE YOUR VANITY PARADE AND PAY OUR TROOPS INSTEAD.”<\/p>\n

However, William Martin, special assistant to the president and communications director to the vice president, quickly pushed back against Newsom.<\/p>\n

“This is complete fake news,” Martin declared in a post on X, which was reposted by the @VP X account. “The Marine Corps said they are NOT shutting down the I-5 highway and that the event at Camp Pendleton is a training exercise. Also, President Trump IS paying the troops despite Chuck Schumer\u2019s efforts to hold their salaries hostage.”<\/p>\n

A Marine Corps press release Wednesday about the festivities said that “no public highways or transportation routes will be closed.”<\/p>\n

Extensive safety measures were implemented at the celebration \u2014 expected to draw more than 15,000 attendees \u2014 including detailed risk assessments, emergency crews on site, and fully scripted air, surface and ground movements, FOX 11 Los Angeles<\/a> reported earlier in the week, citing event organizers.<\/p>\n

Newsom and the White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.<\/p>\n
