Newsom Goes on Colbert, Warns 'We Will Not Have an Election In 2028 Unless We Wake Up'

Governor Gavin Newsom went on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert last night, which was not the most-watched late night show Tuesday that Trump has gotten canceled, or almost canceled.

"Cards on the table: You wish you were on Kimmel tonight," Colbert said, opening his interview with Governor Gavin Newsom on the Late Show Tuesday. "I wish I was on Kimmel tonight," he added.

This was Newsom's first interview with Colbert since way back during the Colbert Report days, and Colbert's former mock-conservative on-air persona did not take kindly to then-Mayor Gavin Newsom and his liberal ideas.

Tuesday's exchange was much friendlier, giving old Gavin another chance to sell himself as a national figure and a potential contender for the White House in 2028. Though Colbert did give a little ribbing to Newsom about the podcast he launched earlier this year in which he chatted with conservative figures, including Charlie Kirk himself in the inaugural episode. (When Colbert asked what Newsom got out of those conversations, he said he "got a lot of grief" from Democrats.)

Newsom spoke about "holding a mirror" up to Trump with his latest Twitter strategy, posting mocking all-caps tweets that are clearly aimed at satirizing Trump's own, absurd social media presence. And, Colbert joked that he had managed to do something many Democrats have failed to do, which is be "interesting."

Newsom has to be violating some sort of federal crime. Is this not incitement to violence?

More like we won’t win in 2028 unless we wake up. With front runners like these they’re in big trouble.

The increasingly radicalized Democrats refuse to even slightly turn down the temperature. It’s clearly a party-wide strategy to try to gin up as much paranoia, hate, and terror as they can on their side in order to control their sheep better and use them as frantic voters/activists/rioters—and of course they don’t seem to have the slightest bit of concern that they have stirred up violence against Trump, other political figures, and regular Trump supporters, law enforcement agents, Tesla owners, Christians and Jews, etc.

Encouraging more killings.

Democrats are a criminal organization, fueled by China, cartels and home grown radicals.

What possible basis does this flake have for such a claim?

According to him, he won’t be running in 2028 due to the “Nazis”.

One of the things Newscum meant was that he and his ilk will not be in charge of “counting the votes” nationally.

Newscum and his cabal have so bastardized the Kalifornia election system, there was never a a State that more perfectly embodies:

It is not who votes that counts; what matters is who counts the votes.

I believe that the democRATS will find a Judge who will mandate ballots be sent to all of the deported illegal trespassers, AND those that self-deported. The Judge will assign this task to the Tren De Aragua group.

Echo!! Echo!!

That’s pretty much what the left has become. An echo chamber for themselves.

Charlie was the rock that would break the glass of that chamber with simple dialogue.

He had to be killed so that the left could get back to their ECHO!!

Trump is a Nazi. Trump is a dictator!!

the main qualification for being a politician is the amount of bullshit you can get away with saying
