As I scrolled through X this morning, I nearly spit out my coffee when I caught Gavin Newsom in a casual interview clip, lounging on stage and confidently declaring that Fox News is hiding the fact that Texas and Florida are actually the ones burdening everyday folks with sky-high taxes, while his state supposedly goes easy on the little guy.
No, really.
Admit it, if you saw it you had a similar reaction.
It's the kind of bold rewrite of reality that only a politician presiding over a mass exodus from his own paradise could deliver with a straight face.

Yes, it's totally Fox News refusing to report the truth.
Or not.
This is just a blatant, verifiable falsehood. Here's a Wallethub 2025 analysis of the overall tax burden by state:

California is 4th highest.
Texas is 40th.
Florida is 45th.https://t.co/Xb7L4eqGKW pic.twitter.com/thomUTA11S
Not to mention, why does this guy cross his legs like my Aunt Suzy?
That's not normal ... just sayin'.

Look at all the reality. And ol' Gav really thinks he can convince anyone that Texas and Florida have higher taxes? I get it, the man wants to run for president and DeSantis and Cruz could both be a threat but woof, bro. Not even Democrats buy this ...
