Right-wing media can’t handle Gavin Newsom calling out Trump’s thuggery

California Gov. Gavin Newsom gave a nationally televised address on Tuesday night, directly rebuking President Donald Trump for abusing the power of his office and assaulting democracy by sending in members of the National Guard and Marine Corps to Los Angeles to aid anti-immigrant raids by federal agents.

“Democracy is under assault right before our eyes—the moment we’ve feared has arrived,” Newsom said.

His speech reflected the views of millions of Americans, and right-wing media outlets absolutely lost their minds over it.

Leading the charge was Fox News, the most influential conservative media outlet. Newsom’s speech occurred during Sean Hannity’s prime-time show, “Hannity.” Apparently miffed about the interruption, Hannity chose to counterprogram Newsom’s speech in real time.

As the governor spoke, Fox News scrolled a list purporting to show the “criminal history of illegals in the state of California.” Fox News, like Trump, has for years promoted the false narrative that migrants are a major source of crime.
