Victor Davis Hanson: Gavin Newsom Is Going Nowhere and Blowing Up What’s Left of His Political Viability

TRANSCRIPT:

Davis Hanson: “A lot of really weird stuff he said. ‘Hey, Tom Homan, come and get me.’ Kind of braggart, just a punk, punking him. And then we had his tiff with the Treasury secretary, Scott Bessent. ‘We’re not gonna — we might just withhold we’re not gonna remind just withhold federal taxes because we pay 80 billion more than we get in services from the federal government.’ I thought he was Jefferson Davis, maybe. And then he said, ‘And that pays the federal government’s bills.’ Come on, Gavin, it’s a little over 1% of all federal revenues. Why don’t you just realize that you’re polling 27% — 2% want you to be the nominee. You’re going nowhere and you’re blowing up what was left of your viability politically. You’re gonna be termed out, what are you gonna do? Because people are looking at you. And this comes on the heels of the fire in Los Angeles, when you couldn’t say a word about Karen Bass junketing, or the the deputy mayor phoning in bomb threats, or the head of Water & Power has no idea why the reservoir is dry, or that fire chief who was fired talking about DEI while there’s hydrants dry, or why you wouldn’t let people clean up their hills of fuel for the fire. So it’s just a one-two punch and Gavin Newsom is in big trouble.”
