Bill Maher confronts Gavin Newsom on TV over policy failures

California Gov. Gavin Newsom delivered a stark warning Friday that the Trump administration's weaponization of the Federal Communications Commission is a bigger threat to American democracy than the foreign corruption scandals dominating the headlines.

Gavin Newsom: Every day it's a corruption story, the Trump administration, it's meme coins, it's crypto, it's World Liberty Financial. It's the greatest grift we've ever seen in our lifetime.

@governor.ca.gov Gavin Newsom, "It's not the corruption in Albania and Serbia. It's not the corruption in Saudi Arabia in Dubai and the UAE, and Vietnam, and all the golf courses and the deals that we see. It's not the meme coin, the stable coin. www.rawstory.com/gavin-newsom...

And the people who have met him seem to overwhelmingly like him As a CA voter, it feel like this weird opposite of the Gavin Newsom discourse, people from CA saying no you do not want him, and the memery brigades from everywhere else memeing that they do

It would be mildly funny if some random teenager on Twitter were doing this (though I have no idea why a teenager would be on Twitter). This being done by Gavin Newsom *makes* it unfunny.

If Gavin Newsom were anti trans but socialist I would consider voting for him. The problem is that his anti trans rhetoric is an extension of center right politics. 😈

there are a lot of much more serious reasons to loathe gavin newsom but that fucking budget trump impression he does on x the ephebophile app makes the very possibility of him heading up the dems in '28 feel demeaning

Bill Maher to Gavin Newsom: ‘You Are Imitating’ Trump During California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s last appearance on “Real Time with Bill Maher” in 2025, the titular host took pains to grill his governor on what he felt were the many needless layers of bureaucracy in the Golden State — namely, that he…

Rogan's critique that Newsom is a politician and not genuine is fair. The shit that chaps my ass is that he says Trump is genuine in contrast, you know what you getting. In Trump's case, that would be a racist, pedo lying sack of shit, but Rogan don't get bothered about that like with Newsom

Gavin Newsom‘s defamation case against what some call the Nazi news network has moved forward. Just like in the Dominion case they’re being called out for their lies and actual malice. They need to pay about $3 billion and agreed to go off the air for about 20 years.
