Delighted Republicans say Democrat 2028 hopeful Gavin Newsom's gaffe-prone wife is their new secret weapon as they plead with her to do more interviews

Alinsky said to make it fun for your people, and they’ll do it more.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Republicans are gleefully embracing an unlikely ally in their quest to derail Gavin Newsom's widely anticipated 2028 presidential ambitions - his own wife.

Jennifer Siebel Newsom has become a lightning rod for criticism after a string of interviews and public appearances that conservatives say perfectly capture what they view as the out-of-touch elitism surrounding the Democratic governor.

Siebel Newsom has had string of public appearances in which she criticized wealthy elites, scolded reporters, and delivered remarks that GOP critics say perfectly encapsulate what they view as the smug detachment of the Democratic political class.

GOP operatives, activists, and conservative commentators are now openly urging her to step in front of cameras more often, convinced that every unscripted remark is political gold.

Their delight reached new heights this week after Siebel Newsom delivered a withering critique of wealthy tech leaders who have gravitated toward Donald Trump and the Republican Party.

Her remarks that quickly spread across social media as critics pointed to her own life of immense privilege.

'It's incredibly disheartening and disturbing. It's very confusing,' she said when asked about what some observers have described as tech's political shift to the right.

'When you spend too much time in your bubble of wealth and perhaps in your limited perspective where you only interact at the same economic ilk until they're actually employed by you, I think that's a really dangerous place.'
