California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom loves him some Fox News, even though he thinks it is “quite literally bullshit and misinformation.”

Newsom’s comments came in a backroom conversation with Semafor in Simi Valley, California, just before the second GOP debate in late September. “[Republican presidential candidates] are getting all the airtime; they’re polluting the airwaves with a lot of bullshit. And we have got to have a counteroffensive. So my No. 1 strategy tonight is to communicate that and say to Democrats, ‘let’s go to war.’ This is serious. Trump can win,” Newsom told Semafor.

Even though he thinks it’s all “bullshit and misinformation,” that hasn’t stopped him from cozying up to Fox News anchor Sean Hannity. The pair text so often that Hannity agreed to moderate a seemingly pointless debate between Newsom and GOP 2024 presidential hopeful Ron DeSantis in November.

But overall, Newsom’s commentary just spews ignorance, and shows Newsom for who he really is. If he actually listened to anything outside of his own ecosystem, he’d realize America is not happy with Democratic politics. And most of us fear our states turning into the absolute hellhole he’s allowed California to descend into.

Then again, he doesn’t seem to care about what America really wants.

He is not a man for the people. He’s a man for his own power. And it seems to me like he’s going after total power over us all by cleverly climbing his way higher up the Democratic ladder until he probably reaches the White House.

To this point, Newsom also tells his fellow Democrats not to appear on Fox News. He says it’s becaues these networks contribute to the decline of mental health in the country. I think he doesn’t want his colleagues appearing on conservative networks because they’re not his colleagues at all — they’re his competitors.
