California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) went after congressional Republicans in an interview that aired Thursday, calling them “pathetically weak” for yielding to former President Trump on the border.
“Mitch McConnell, I thought that was shameful, what was reported out,” Newsom told MSNBC’s Alex Wagner, referring to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). “That he’s just completely rolling over and capitulating.
“Don’t even get me started with the weakness of the current Speaker of the House,” Newsom added, referring to Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.). “I mean, they don’t want a deal, period. Full stop.”
“I think it is a disgrace, what the Republican Party is doing, what Donald Trump is doing,” Newsom said in the MSNBC interview, highlighted by Mediaite. “And this is hidden in plain sight. He sent out a tweet or some Truth whatever saying, ‘Kill it.’ And these guys are so weak. How … so pathetically weak, this Republican Party.”
Dems already have better 2028 candidates such as Newsome than the GOP, who can’t seem to find even one viable candidate anywhere.
His recent bout of vetoing progressive legislation has certainly endeared him to party leadership.
Friendship with Newsome ended. Now Whitmer is my best friend.
