Trump’s suggestion that Iran could ‘take out’ LA or San Diego draws Republican rebuke

What happened: After Trump said at a Nebraska rally that Iran could "take out" Los Angeles and San Diego, California governor Gavin Newsom directed the state emergency center to monitor threats. Republican House candidate Jim Desmond pushed back. Key numbers: Rally held Monday night in Grand Island, Nebraska. Desmond runs in California's 48th congressional district against Marni Von Wilpert. Why it matters: Desmond's rebuke is notable from a Republican in a closely watched race that could help the party keep its narrow House majority. The White House says Trump was taken out of context.
