In a bizarre twist of events, California Governor Gavin Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass found themselves in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons during a recent redistricting rally.
The event, which failed to attract a significant crowd, was overshadowed by the duo's public outbursts following arrests made by the Border Patrol in the vicinity.
Newsom, in a peculiar display of paranoia, interpreted the arrests as a deliberate attempt by President Donald Trump to steal his thunder. "Trump will be running for a third term. Mark my word," Newsom declared. "I received, in the mail, a 'Trump 2028' hat. These guys are not screwing around." His fixation on Trump, however, only served to divert attention away from the rally and onto his own peculiar behavior.
According to RedState, U.S. Border Patrol Chief Patrol Agent Gregory Bovino offered a reality check to Newsom's self-centered narrative. Bovino clarified that the arrests were not about Newsom, but about ensuring the safety of the city. "Does the governor or Mayor Bass, when they have these meltdowns, these tantrums like that, do they want those individuals walking the streets?" Bovino questioned on "Americas Newsroom."
Bovino highlighted the real issues at hand, such as the presence of Tren de Aragua gang members and other criminals on the streets of Los Angeles. He revealed that the Department of Homeland Security had 40 teams operating throughout the city that day, and that a suspected member of the violent Venezuelan gang was arrested not far from the governor's location.
Despite these pressing concerns, Newsom and Bass seemed more interested in their public tantrums than addressing the city's crime problem. When asked for a statement, Newsom's office responded with a bizarre tirade against Trump: "WE WILL NOT BE INTIMIDATED BY WEAK LITTLE DONALD TRUMP, THE CRIMINAL PRESIDENT!" This response, rather than undermining Trump, only served to highlight Newsom's obsession with the President and his inability to focus on his own policies and responsibilities.
Newsom's reaction also revealed a concerning perspective on law enforcement. By equating the enforcement of the law with intimidation, Newsom demonstrated a warped understanding of the role of law enforcement, which may explain the current state of affairs in Los Angeles and California. It raises the question of why such a person, who views law enforcement in this light, should be entrusted with a position of power.
The incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of focusing on real issues and effective policies, rather than getting caught up in personal obsessions and public tantrums. As the saying goes, actions speak louder than words, and in this case, the actions of Newsom and Bass have spoken volumes about their priorities and their ability to lead.
