California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) took a swing at his own party Friday evening, claiming Democrats have become too “toxic” and “judgmental.”
Newsom, in an appearance on “Real Time with Bill Maher,” was asked about other Democrats’ criticism of the party and those who have questioned the governor for bringing GOP guests on his new podcast, “This Is Gavin Newsom,” calling it “platforming.”
“I mean, this idea that we can’t even have a conversation with the other side … or the notion we just have to continue to talk to ourselves or win the same damn echo chamber, these guys are crushing us,” he continued, referencing Republicans who have seen better numbers in recent elections.
“The Democratic brand is toxic right now,” the governor said, adding later that “we talk down to people. We talk past people.”
The governor also gave a nod to recent guests on his show, which some have viewed as controversial including former White House adviser Steve Bannon and Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk.
“And I think with this podcast and having the opportunity to dialog with people I disagree with, it’s an opportunity to try to find common ground and not take cheap shots,” he said. “I’m not looking to put a spoke in the wheel of their or … a crowbar in the spokes of their wheel to trip them up.”
His comments come after polling shows the Democratic Party’s favorability rating sitting at a record low. A recent NBC News poll, referenced during the show, shows only 27 percent of respondents having a positive view of the party.

Where to democrats go after telling folks to stay home?
The French Laundry.
No s*** sherlock.
Of course, some will buy what he is selling.
This is a new projection strategy. The most toxic of Demos, his name is Gavin, is “projecting” onto other Demos. I had to take a shot of whiskey after reading it.
This is gonna be good!!
Democrats don’t even like each other.
newscum posturing for ‘28
It’s far more than just talking “down to” or “past” people. It’s about the fact that modern Democrats seem incapable of governing. All they seem able to do is talk and spend $$ without getting results. And increasingly, they don’t even seem intelligent (with Harris, Crockett and Jefferies being Exhibit A).
At least the pre-2000 Democrats could at least run things effectively.
If their party were judgmental they wouldn’t be as dangerous as they are to America.
Haha...my first laugh of the morning
remember friends,”conservatives seek agreement while liberals demand compliance” L.Star. their demands ALWAYS preclude finding a middle ground of agreement. the refusal to even be willing to find that middle ground creates a natural toxicity to agreements that benefit everyone. they hate themselves so naturally they hate us more.
Yep. He’s smart enough to know he has to move toward center to have a chance.
Dems do everything they project on Republicans. Anything that regards being “nice”, is exactly how they act with us. Judgemental, one of their favorite chastisements, is exact.y what they all are.
you tend to be pagan sick cho mo liars...
its not the right suing to retain the ability to shake their junk at toddlers in libraries
or to send peoples kids to genital chop shops as your little secret deals with them kept from their guardians
were not you the one offering to effectively kidnap and harbor kids from other states to do that ?
drop dead gav, when fraud is eliminated you will never hold any office ever again imho.
you might as well go get drunk with that ugly broad you call auntie , cuz no one is gonna believe you or your ilk have changed your stripes.
SPIT

HAMAS
“Wrong” is the word he’s loooking for.
Democrat politics is now a religion. It has sacred doctrines that must be accepted in totality, miracles, (sex changes), indulgences, saints, a hell on earth that awaits sinners, baptism (drugs), and heaven on earth for the true believers (they get to rule over all). Govt buildings are its churches. Protest signs are their faux crucifix imitations, including the written messages written at the top of each, just like INRI.
ASK HIM HOW MANY BUILDING PERMITS HAVE BEEN ISSUED IN LA TO REPLACE BURNED HOMES???
It’s worse than that. Here’s a short list of Democrat positions now that Trump is president again:
In favor of illegal alien murderers on the streets.
In favor of illegal alien child rapists on the streets.
In favor of China controlling the Panama Canal.
In favor of a bad trade deals with Mexico.
In favor of a bad trade deals with Canada.
In favor of caving into Columbia not taking back its citizens.
Opposed to peace in Ukraine.
Opposed to peace and prosperity in Gaza.
Opposed to Israel defending itself.
Opposed to cutting waste, fraud, and abuse. Big time opposed.
In favor of dangerous DEI hires.
In favor of a weak military.
In favor of keeping excess government employees on the payroll.
In favor of pretending that there are more than two sexes.
In favor of mandating energy policies based on dubious ‘climate change’ theory.
In favor or mandatory vaccines.
In favor of censorship of “misinformation”.
What did I miss?
After listening to "Good Hair" Newsom, one shot of whiskey is not nearly enough.
