The California governor described White House reporters as ‘sycophants’
California Governor Gavin Newsom criticized the media for what he described as overly deferential coverage of Donald Trump, characterizing reporters in Oval Office press briefings as “sycophants.”
The Democratic governor — widely seen as a potential contender for the 2028 presidential race — made the remarks during a Sunday interview with progressive commentator Jack Cocchiarella.
Cocchiarella pressed Newsom on what he framed as “hesitancy” within the White House press corps to scrutinize certain subjects: namely, the 80-year-old president’s health.
“You see these press conferences in the Oval Office,” the governor replied. “You maybe have one or two reasonable reporters. They ask a question; there’s no chance for a follow-up. And then it’s seven sycophants from news outlets.”
There you go with the fallacies again… What is this, Pokemon of fallacies? Trying to catch 'em all or something?
Well you’ve caught strawman.
You’re operating under the fallacy that every single racist and sexist in the US already and exclusively vote republican. That’s fuckin stupid.
Not fallacy; seems pretty on-point. Bigots coalesce around far-right extremism, and thus MAGA. That logically tracks.
Or what, you think blue-haired hippies preaching solidarity are dyed-in-the-wool bigots or something, lol?
By all means, I’m waiting for your evidence of where all these bigots are at that aren’t core maga – and also how this intersects with the facts that Biden was polling worse than Harris, and Michelle Obama has always polled higher than Trump ;)
Last chance, bud.
Prove it.
