California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom was shredded on social media following an appearance on a late-night show this week after using more politically inflammatory language against the Trump administration in the wake of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
Appearing with left-wing host Stephen Colbert, whose ratings-challenged show has been canceled by CBS, Newsom called the situation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents doing their jobs a “Code Red” situation, while suggesting that people push back with violence.
Newsom’s remarks came on the heels of legislation he signed that was passed by the Democratic supermajorities in the state legislature banning, among other things, ICE agents from wearing masks to protect their identities.
