Newsom claps back at pathetic right-wing trolls

California Gov. Gavin Newsom continues to excel at playing right-wing whack-a-mole. On Monday, he quickly slapped down both Donald Trump Jr. and GOP Rep. Jason Smith of Missouri after they threw xenophobic jabs his way.

Trump Jr. appeared on right-wing pablum regurgitator Benny Johnson’s web show Monday, where the two discussed the back and forth between Newsom and GOP officials—including border czar Tom Homan, who threatened to arrest Newsom—regarding President Donald Trump’s illegal deployment of the National Guard in Los Angeles.
