Gavin Newsom and His Cruel Notion of ‘Cruel’
American Greatness ^ | June 9, 2025 | By Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 06/10/2025 7:36:45 AM PDT by artichokegrower

Recently, Gov. Newsom weighed in on the Trump administration’s efforts to undo the last four years of border destruction, when an estimated 10-12 million illegal aliens entered the U.S. unlawfully—among them thousands with criminal records.

Of the recent Los Angeles efforts of ICE to detain those who entered and reside here illegally, the governor proclaimed:

“Continued chaotic federal sweeps, across California, to meet an arbitrary arrest quota are as reckless as they are cruel. Donald Trump’s chaos is eroding trust, tearing families apart, and undermining the workers and industries that power America’s economy.”

You’ve already stepped way over the line. POTUS has already said he would arrest you I wouldn’t give Tom any more ammunition for your referral to DOJ for prosecution. Trump is not fooling with your sedition anymore.

Those that are kind to the cruel invariably end up being cruel to the kind.

California is an object lesson in that timeless statement on the human condition.

Laken Riley: A 22-year-old nursing student at the University of Georgia was killed while on a jog. Jose Antonio Ibarra, a Venezuelan national, was accused and subsequently found guilty of her murder.

Rachel Morin: A Maryland mother of five was found murdered on a trail. An undocumented immigrant was accused of her killing.

This is the Obama never let a crisis go to Waste agenda. They tried to infiltrate MAGA rallies to start riots. Liberals are the death party. Burn, Riot, Rob.

Ping! Out to the Victor Davis Hanson list

Cruel are the roughly 40,000 annual traffic accidents in Los Angeles County, after which the culpable drivers often flee the scene of the accident. Does the governor or mayor ever ask why that is so, or worry over the some 8,000 victims who are killed or injured?

A truly excellent article by the master Prof Hanson!

Trump’s chaos is eroding trust, tearing families apart, and undermining the workers and industries that power America’s economy.”

What 'trust'? That anyone can break into our country and we'll all pretend it's nothing?

Or undermining 'workers'? This idiot is talking about his fear illegals will be undermined. NOT American workers. Gavin doesn't give a damn about American workers.

What if people from India were willing to 'write for newspapers for $10,000 a year doing the jobs Americans weren't willing to do 'for ten thousand' a year?

And NO, dishwashers don't power the economy. Less than three percent of illegals pick the crops. Most illegals move to democrat cities and live on welfare and other assistance and work under the table.

Hey Gavin you're the reason democrat are running away from your goon party.

Hes also the reason millions of folks have run away from his state. Turns out not everyone will turn to government assistance when their own govt porks them. Some are smart enough to move on…. To places like Florida and Texas… Go figure.

You’re right. And here in Florida we welcome conservatives escaping insane democrat hellholes like Southern California.

Meanwhile Newsom is glad to see FR posters attacking Trump or Musk or Trump’s cabinet. Of course we are all free to criticize our own people, but sometimes it seems to go beyond demanding the best actions.
