Newsom's rhetoric comes back to haunt him

 DC Daily Journal:

In a nation already torn apart by radical leftists who can’t stand a single dissenting voice, the brutal m*rder of Charlie Kirk has exposed the ugly truth about Democrat leaders like Gavin Newsom. Just weeks before this young patriot was gunned down on stage at Utah Valley University, Newsom was caught on a podcast unleashing a tirade that no American should ever hear from a sitting governor.

Charlie Kirk, the fearless founder of Turning Point USA and a tireless fighter for American values, was shot dead on September 10, during what was supposed to be a routine speaking event. The sniper’s bullet struck him down in front of shocked students, a cold-blooded hit that authorities are calling a targeted political assassination.

Flash back to August 20, on The Siren podcast, where Newsom decided to play tough guy against Republicans pushing back on Texas’s redistricting fight. He sneered at patriots standing firm for fair maps and Trump’s America, accusing them of weakness. “Look at these Republicans, cowering to this guy,” Newsom stated, lashing out at their loyalty to President Trump. It was the kind of cheap shot we’ve come to expect from a man who’s wrecked California with sky-high taxes, homeless camps on every corner, and policies that chase away jobs and families.

But Newsom didn’t stop at insults. He cranked up the heat, dismissing any call for civility as he doubled down on his rage. “So, I’m sorry. I know some people’s sensibilities. I respect and appreciate that. But right now, with all due respect, we’re walking down a d*mn different path,” he fumed.

Then came the line that’s now haunting Newsom like a bad dream. “We’re fighting fire with fire. And we’re gonna punch these sons of b*tches in the mouth.”

The clip exploded online after Kirk’s death, shared by outraged conservatives. Breitbart’s Joel Pollak nailed it, posting that the rant “was bad at the time and it is worse today.”

Newsom and his Democrat cohorts are one of the reasons Calfiornia is losing population, with many people leaving the state for Arizona and Texas.  Newsom and California Democrats have already been accused of rigging the state's election in a way that minimizes the number of Republican districts.  While Texas was once a Democrat majority state, the policies of the Democrats led to a Republican resurgence that has made Texas a red state now.
