California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) announced his plans to sue the Trump administration for “illegally act[ing] to federalize the National Guard” to contain the Los Angeles anti-deportation riots, accusing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth of being “in over his head.”
When asked by left-wing YouTuber Brian Taylor Cohen if he has any “confidence” that Hegseth will be as “principled” as former Defense Secretary Mark Esper was on Monday, Newsom coldly responded, “Pete Hegseth is a joke. He’s a joke. Everybody knows it, so in over his head. What an embarrassment.”
“That guy’s just weakness masquerading as strength. I don’t even know if he masquerades as strength… I mean, this Homan guy, these guys… it’s just the band of misfits. It really is,” the governor continued. “This is serious, people’s lives are at stake. The reputation of this country is at stake.”
He went on to say that Trump’s deployment of the National Guard, prompted by the ongoing violent protest against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials that sparked last week, “is a preview of things to come” to other cities.
“This is not about LA, per se. This is about us today, it’s about you and everyone watching tomorrow,” Newsom argued. “I promise you. I mean, this guy is unhinged. Donald Trump is unhinged right now.”

well okay, then just send in our regular armed forces, since he’s the commander in chief.
I’d love to see an A-10 tank killers making a few mini gun pass on the rioters.
Okay . . . Trump will send in the Marines instead.
Trump’s just doing his job.
Says the governor who let California burn due to his policies and lack of attention to handle problems.
Good-hair Gov Gavin called the show of force by the Trump administration “uncool.”
“What we have here in peaceful LA are mostly peaceful migrants making their voices mostly peacefully heard by throwing peaceful Molotov cocktails and peacefully looting businesses,” Newsom said.
“All of which is protected by the Bill of Rights. Read the Constitution.”
Shocker. Who knew the boy gov even noticed we have a Constitution?
Put down the hair gel Gavin, and take a moment to read that Act. And hey, maybe you won’t agree with it. Then get your D buddies in Congress to repeal it.
In the meantime…
This Newsome fellow couldn’t be Pro Anarchy could he?
This was their plan. They deliberately planned and implemented the riot, knowing that Trump would send in the Guard. Then they sued Trump for sending in the Guard.
Arrest hair gel for aiding and abetting
And do it around 8:00 pm so we can call it:
He is complicit in the rebellion. Arrest him.
A COMPLETE DRUG PANEL ON NEWSOM SURE WOULD BE INTERESTING
This has already been litigated. Dukakis vs. Department of Defense, USSC, 1988 which held that the President (DoD) exercised plenary power over the national guard.
Plenary: full; complete; entire; absolute; unqualified:
Yup a political stunt, I’m sure. Wants to stir the pot and create issues to put into ads when he runs in 2028
Here’s one here just made today!

Judge Judy saying bring it on dip***t.
Gavin Newsom during covid, deployed the national guard to give everyone VACCINES..so for that he deployed the national guard, but to stop riots, he wont do it
Newsom is absolutely babbling. He’s scared to death.
