California Governor Gavin Newsom has finally said the quiet part out loud, and it's uglier than anyone expected. At a San Francisco event promoting his self-congratulatory memoir 'Young Man in a Hurry' this week, the Democrat presidential hopeful told a friendly audience that critics were 'appropriately' calling Israel an 'apartheid state.'
But that wasn't the end of Newsom's anti-Israel tirade. The California governor launched into a full-blown attack on President Trump's decisive military action against Iranian terrorist infrastructure, parroting Iranian propaganda talking points that would make the mullahs in Tehran proud.
'We have to reconcile why our bombs were used, or Israeli bombs, were used to kill children, young girls at a school,' Newsom declared, according to social media posts documenting his remarks. The governor accused President Trump of 'focusing more on discussing a White House ballroom renovation than on the four US service' members killed in recent Iranian-backed attacks.
California Governor Gavin Newsom on Wednesday demanded the Trump administration explain why bombs struck an elementary school in Iran, killing young girls, and what imminent threat justified the attack.
Let's be crystal clear about what's happening here, Patriots. Newsom is literally echoing Hamas and Iranian regime propaganda while attacking our democratically-elected president for defending American lives and our strongest ally in the Middle East. This is the same Gavin Newsom who wants to be president in 2028.
The timing couldn't be more telling. As President Trump successfully dismantles Iranian terror networks that have been targeting American servicemen, Newsom chooses to side with our enemies and smear Israel as an 'apartheid state' - the same blood libel used by antisemites worldwide to delegitimize the Jewish state.
Social media erupted with posts amplifying Newsom's anti-Israel rhetoric, with accounts celebrating his attacks on both Trump and Israel. One post specifically highlighted how 'visibly angered' Newsom appeared while making these inflammatory statements.
This is what the modern Democrat Party has become, folks - a coalition of America-haters who reflexively side with terrorists over our allies. When push comes to shove, they'll always choose Iran over Israel, and chaos over the strong leadership President Trump provides.
The question every American should be asking: Is this really the kind of 'leader' Democrats want representing them on the world stage?
