In a bizarre and unhinged press conference Thursday evening, California Governor Gavin Newsom resorted to theatrics and baseless accusations against President Donald Trump, claiming their private phone conversation would “send shivers up your spine.” Yet, as usual, Newsom provided no evidence—only wild, inflammatory rhetoric designed to distract from his own failures. This is the same governor who imposed draconian COVID lockdowns while dining maskless at the ultra-exclusive French Laundry, proving his hypocrisy knows no bounds.
Newsom, still seething over President Trump’s lawful decision to federalize the California National Guard to restore order in Los Angeles, was temporarily bailed out by Clinton-appointed Judge Charles Breyer, who issued a restraining order against the President. But the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals swiftly intervened, blocking Breyer’s partisan ruling and allowing Trump to proceed with deploying the Guard—a major victory for law and order.
EXCLUSIVE: We've obtained photos of Governor Gavin Newsom at the Napa dinner party he's in hot water over. The photos call into question just how outdoors the dinner was. A witness who took photos tells us his group was so loud, the sliding doors had to be closed. 10pm on @FOXLA pic.twitter.com/gtOVEwa864

The liberal media, of course, framed this as a constitutional crisis rather than what it truly is: a desperate attempt by a failing governor to cling to power while his state burns. Newsom, who locked down California with 57 executive orders—many of which were later ruled unconstitutional—now has the audacity to accuse Trump of authoritarianism. The irony is staggering.
During his press conference, Newsom wagged his finger and claimed, “He never discussed the National Guard. Period. Full stop. I would love to share with you what we actually talked about. It would send shivers up your f– spine.” Yet, when pressed, he refused to provide any details, instead resorting to vague fearmongering. Meanwhile, President Trump has been transparent, telling reporters he urged Newsom to “get his ass in gear” and stop the riots.
This is classic liberal playbook: accuse your opponent of what you’re guilty of. Newsom, who bypassed the legislature to enforce his own tyrannical mandates, now lectures about democracy? Please. The American people see through this charade.
The Ninth Circuit’s decision is a vindication of President Trump’s commitment to restoring safety in cities ravaged by leftist incompetence. While Democrats like Newsom enable chaos, Trump takes action.
