House Speaker Mike Johnson called Tuesday for California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom to be “tarred and feathered” over his response to the riots raging in downtown Los Angeles.
Declining to weigh in on whether Newsom should be arrested — as President Trump and White House border czar Tom Homan have floated — Johnson (R-La.) ripped into the Golden State governor’s light-touch approach to the chaos in Los Angeles.
“I’m not going to give you legal analysis on whether Gavin Newsom should be arrested, but he ought to be tarred and feathered,” Johnson told reporters during a Capitol Hill news conference.
The phrase “tarred and feathered” refers to a form of vigilante punishment frequently deployed in America’s colonial days, in which individuals would be stripped naked and doused with wood tar before getting feathers dumped on them.
In modern times, the phrase is often used to mean public rebuke. Newsom, however, appeared to take Johnson’s comment literally.
...
Newsom .. standing in the way of the administration and the carrying out of federal law,” Johnson added. “He is applauding the bad guys and standing in the way of the good guys.
He’s a participant and an accomplice in our federal agents not just being disrespected, but assaulted.”
...
Homan had warned over the weekend that it is a felony to obstruct the feds from carrying out their immigration law enforcement efforts, before later clarifying the Trump administration has no intention of arresting Newsom.

Tarred and feathered would be good, just don’t mess up his hair.
I wonder what happens when you mix tar with Botox and hair gel.
Found his danglers after two years, good for him. Hope it lasts past this moment, but I’m not holding my breath.
That ain’t the half of it.
If I’m right, he just incited national riots with his carefully crafted ‘speech’.
Bring forward Federal insurrection charges against Newsome Schiff and all California politicos.
Perp walk them and charge them with incitement to insurrection and accessory to assault against Federal officers, failure to render assistance.
Prosecute them for the crimes they are actually committing on the public stage.
Look what they did to Jan 6 protesters.
His newly-hired consultant Olivia Juliana told him to say that.
Oh wow, Meek Mike says slap his hands.
While people are being terrorized by the human trash of Mexico.
Gosh golly gee Mikey, got yer dander up, huh?
Heavens to Betsy, gosh and darn.
Tough talk, but how about more action. President Trump has done his part, but I have to wonder, how can they not track down who is funding this stuff? I mean, you don’t have to be Columbo to find out who bought a lot of face shields, or who bought pallets of bricks and left them on the streets.
Is there a reason they don’t want to track down who is funding this?
Photo has surfaced of the man behind the wheel of a truck used to deliver and hand out tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of face shield masks to rioters in Los Angeles. ..

Democrat = Communist...live it, learn it.
Newsom wants California burned to the ground. I can only figure that Soros or his minions are calling the shots. The Democrats definitely want harm to America ever since the George Floyd riots. I don’t understand what they expect to gain but their actions speak loudly.
Didn’t they miss the part where the person is then set on fire?
"Speaker Mike Johnson says Gavin Newsom ‘ought to be tarred and feathered’ over LA riots"
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Section 3 of the 14th Amendment doesn't specify a 2/3 supermajority, for example, to boot insurrectionists out of office.
"14th Amendment, Section 3: No person shall be a [all emphasis added] Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."
So tar and feathers aside, why isn't Speaker Johnson at least looking for a way to lead RINO-controlled Congress to remove Newsom from office under that section?
Patriots are reminded that it is entirely up to YOU to effectively "Section 3" deep state Congress in 2026 primaries after several missed opportunities."
I gotta give Mikey credit for loyalty to Trump.
