Gavin Newsom's Four Hour, Curse-Filled, Gaslighting Interview Previews His Presidential Campaign
2025-07-17
[PJMEDIA] Newsom certainly has taken to heart the bizarre Democrat strategy of cursing to seem relatable. He did it in nearly every sentence of this interview.

He called Donald Trump
...So far he's been unkillable, and they've tried....
a liar and "son of a b***h" about water for fires, cleaning forests, and the notorious phone call they had, that Newsom said didn't take place.

Newsom called Joe Rogan, who asked Ryan to query Newsom about his horrible COVID response — responsible for convincing Rogan to go to Texas — a ''motherf*****r'' who now has the benefit of 20/20 hindsight to criticize him now. He's a ''g*****n genius now." He continued, "But at the time, none of us knew what we were up against...''

Of course, Rogan was speaking up about Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,'s crackdown on meeting people, closing gyms, shuttering churches, alternative medications, shutting down beaches, and other autocratic government edicts DURING COVID. Newsom blamed Trump and local governments for his state's bad decisions during COVID. He was, however, the governor and did little to lead.

I'm reminded of my colleague Chris Queen's homage to Pastor John MacArthur's home-going. That dude was sued, bullied, raided, threatened, and ordered to stop meeting for church in person. The county threatened to cut off the church's utilities if he didn't shut it down. He stayed open. That happened in Gavin Governor Hair Gel Newsom
...mayor of San Franciscoas it transformed itself into Poopville, currently governor of Californiaas it transforms itself into Cinderland...
's California.

Gavin Newsom laughed at him. He lifted no finger to help keep churches open. Pot shops were open, but churches were not. If you don't know that's wrong based on First Principles, then you don't deserve higher office. Trump's instincts were better than any experts. He was wrong to capitulate to them, it's true.

Newsom said he'd convened a blue ribbon panel of experts to find out what they did wrong. He says the report was started six months ago and is due any day now. Eyeroll.

There was much more in the interview, but there's only so much retconning a girl can take in one sitting. I'll write more in this week's West Coast, Messed Coast%u2122 report.
