Also noticed another weird tic/tell of Newsome, besides the smirk/smile is he would spew out a lie or just talk over both Hannity and Desantis and then he would bob his head side to side with seemingly virtuous indignation.
Give Newsom points for a slick performance. It was like a good actor with a poor script. He thought he could dominate with bluster and a bunch of cooked up “Facts”. Ron didn’t do well, at times he gave a Dan Quale “Deer in the Headlights” look—BUT he had the facts on his side. Newsom was overconfident and sort of lost it in the last 15 minutes. Newsom was a “Loyal” Democrat and praised the un-praiseable Joe Biden. There was a few moments when Newsom almost let his inner self come out on the Border and Hamas-Israel war. He brought up Trump three times like it was a magic word to crush DeSantis—it didn’t.
