That’s my governor right there.

If you weren’t able or willing to stomach watching Faux News to see Gavin Newsom give both Hannity and DeSantis a spanking. You missed something.

But Twitter noticed.

x The GOP wants a national abortion ban.



Just look at Florida: abortion after six weeks will be punishable by up to 5 years in prison — for women and their doctors.



That’s not freedom. pic.twitter.com/xeBxkpUX7I — Gavin Newsom (@GavinNewsom) December 1, 2023

Oh, brother, did they.

x Newsom is a top notch brand ambassador. He’s the living embodiment of Hit ‘Em Where It Hurts. https://t.co/vyWCf4oST7 — Rachel Bitecofer 📈🇺🇲🇺🇦🇮🇱 (@RachelBitecofer) December 1, 2023

Newsom talks about Bidenomics and 14 Million jobs created, 3.9% Unemployment, the lowest Unemployment for Blacks, Hispanics and Women in history and the lowest rate of poverty in history.

x Going to end the day with a clip of Governor Gavin Newsom crushing fascist weak scumbag Ron DeSantis’ fragile ego. Good night. 💙👊pic.twitter.com/VU7UwdkqDW — Ricky Davila (@TheRickyDavila) December 1, 2023

Newsom stands to bring the true Biden/Harris record to the people, pointing out the DeSantis wants to create a “pre-1960s America” and “Light Democracy on Fire.”

x Being told you followed science and facts shouldn’t be something you get offended by, but here we are. https://t.co/GhOf8BC34L — MeidasTouch (@MeidasTouch) December 1, 2023

He points out that originally DeSantis “Followed facts and followed Science” by shutting down for Covid and promoting masks, but then switched against the good policy leading to “Tens of thousands of deaths.”

x The picture @GovRonDeSantis painted of Florida last night was not true. He could not even win an election in Florida now. @GavinNewsom was correct to qoute me and call him "weak, pathetic and small." https://t.co/Da2SgYMJ1z — Fred Guttenberg (@fred_guttenberg) December 1, 2023

Newsom pointed out that cities in Florida have a 66% higher murder rate than cities like San Francisco.

x I haven’t seen slaughter this ferocious since the Lakota, Cheyenne and Arapaho defeated Custer at Little Bighorn. https://t.co/BFUNTMOdQo — Lakota Man (@LakotaMan1) December 1, 2023

Newsom states that Florida has the worst mental health system short of Mississippi and Texas.

x Ron DeSantis has made it easier to get guns in Florida and harder to get books.pic.twitter.com/TJZiHqhBgh — Jo (@JoJoFromJerz) December 1, 2023

Newsom points out the rather than respond to the 17 kids who were killed at Parkland, DeSantis has made it easier for felons to get guns without background checks or any training.

Whether these messages will get through to the siloed sychophants over a Fox remain to be seen. I watched the end of the debate and the follow-on program with the regular Fox crowd and all four of their pundits — while giving credit to Newsom — gave their thumbs up and the “Victory” on the evening to DeSantis who just spouted the same tired dishonest rhetoric that every one of Fox hears day in and day out.

It’s no surprise they think DeSantis won, but the reaction by progressives watching a real Democrat repeatedly Face Plant DeSantis with actual Facts isn’t important because it might turn the head of an Ultra Maga.

Honestly, it probably won’t.

For example, Lindsay Graham just stated this week that “there ain’t enough money in the world to get a loyal Trump person to change.”

Nice way to say you’re in a cult without using the “C” word. And frankly, he may be exactly right. Those people are far beyond our reach.

But Newsom has totally energized progressives by standing up to DeSantis and pantsing him in his own front yard.

And he’s given us tons of sound bites were can pepper our MAGA relatives with, so thanks for that Gavin.
