Newsom Steps On Political Landmine, Repeats Party’s Infamous Mistake
Daily Caller ^ | July 14, 2025 | John Loftus Editor at Large

Posted on 07/14/2025 8:37:01 AM PDT by Red Badger

Remember Kilmar Abrego Garcia?

Back in the spring, Democrats tried to turn Garcia (an illegal alien) into a political martyr, a victim of President Donald Trump and his administration’s cruel whims and treatment of immigrants. It backfired, however, and as more information was revealed about Garcia’s background and alleged crimes, including charges of human trafficking, Democrats simply … stopped talking about him. They knew better than to die on a political hill for a man who may have smuggled migrants, narcotics, and firearms throughout the country.

Democrats, such as California Gov. Gavin Newsom, are once again repeating their fatal mistake: leaping at the opportunity to champion supposedly innocent illegal aliens before more background information is known.

Amid Immigration and Custom Enforcement’s (ICE) recent raids in southern California, Newsom and others omitted the fact that they took place at pot farms, and, of course, spun the narrative that the Trump administration was targeting the workers who pick our food, not cannabis.

Now, it turns out that one of the innocent “strawberry pickers” arrested at the facility was sentenced to seven years for kidnapping and attempted rape and had a prior conviction for attempted child molestation, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Rodney Scott.

This illegal alien was apprehended at the CA marijuana facility. Turns out he had been sentenced to 7 yrs for kidnapping & attempted rape, w/ a prior conviction for attempted child molestation.

And this felon was working at the same farm as 10 kids - one being 14 yrs old. https://t.co/lfi55Zj7u1 pic.twitter.com/Eg34hXSelU— CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott (@CBPCommissioner) July 12, 2025

These are the juveniles found in the marijuana facility - almost all unaccompanied, one as young as 14.

California are you ready to partner with us to stop child exploitation? https://t.co/s6VATstZ4G pic.twitter.com/M96nR0gqoU— CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott (@CBPCommissioner) July 11, 2025

One can safely say this is not a great look for the governor, especially considering that there were allegedly juveniles at the farm.

Like Kilmar, Democrats may pretend that every illegal alien is a hero who deserves nothing less than citizenship and their own federal holiday. Sometimes — in fact, in most cases — their cheap dunks and sermonizing come back to haunt them.

you youngsters will have to look that up. Mortimer was a ventriloquist puppet of Edgar Bergen.

We were a Paul Winchell and Charlie McCarthy family. I did listen to radio recordings of Edgar Bergen. I was never quite sure what the point of having a ventriloquist act on radio was. The few times I saw him on TV clips, his lips were pretty obviously moving.

Charlie McCarthy was an Edgar Bergen creation. You're probably thinking of Jerry Mahoney.

I posted this during the VP debate between JD Vance and Tim Walz:

Just ask NewSCUM a few simple questions and watch him squirm
#1..What was the cause of the Palisades fire, its been over 7 months, why has there been no official cause
#2. Why did this weed farm have plenty of water available yet there was NO water in the fire hydrants or reservoirs in the Palisades they were bone dry
#3. How come over a billion dollar “Low income housing” complex is going to be built in the Palisades, is that what you meant by “Reimaging the Palisades, filling it with low income properties”

and YES, I 1000 percent believe that the state set the fire, like they did in LaHaina, drive everyone else out so that the city can be turned into a rat hole cesspool

the state set the fire

Chicago machine setting fire to a block so it could be acquired cheap to resell to government money at a profit was common in Chicago. Did the Chicago way expand?
