Governor Gavin Newsom’s “talk about anything that’s a slam on Republicans and not about California” tour continues, and the gaslighting made its way to MSNBC over the weekend.
What made it an extra challenging interview for Newsom is that he was subjected to questioning from… former Biden press secretary Jen Psaki. There’s nothing as hard-hitting as cable news host interviewing somebody she pretty much agrees with about everything.
Here’s one portion of the interview during which Newsom explains why DeSantis is “afraid of the people.” Try not to laugh:
.@GavinNewsom on Gov. Ron DeSantis signing a permitless concealed carry bill into law at a nonpublic event in his office: He’s “scared to death.”@jrpsaki: “Who’s he scared of?”

Didn’t DeSantis very recently get overwhelmingly re-elected so he could do things like that? But there are reasons Newsom doesn’t want to focus on his own state while ramping up a possible run for president.
Lmao. As you sit their and blow smoke up each other’s ass. Gavin can’t even take care of his own state. He needs to stop worrying about other ones

This guy as usual is all BS.

And here are some important points:
Hate to defend DeSantis here but If he was scared of the people he would’ve taken their guns.

The Hairdo thinks DeSantis legalized people being able to exercise their Second Amendment right because he's afraid of them? I think the people screaming, demanding people be disarmed are the ones who are afraid of the people. https://t.co/eWFzmMmExO

DeSantis wants to expand gun rights… just like a dictator! Unreal.
I've never seen a Governor of a state worry about the affairs of another state. This is unprecedented, but it's also straight out of the Communist playbook. It's the old repeat a lie enough it becomes the truth tactic. https://t.co/ZnFezgdS8t

Also Newsom knows that most in the “media” will just nod their heads in agreement instead of calling out his BS.
