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

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.

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.

News stories floating around that that pot farm is one of Hair Gel’s donors.

To the tune of 10K.

The one thing Newsom has going for him, in seeking the nomination for President in 2028, is that his likely competition is even worse: Pete Buttigieg, AOC, Spartacus, Jasmine. Lucky for Newsom that Mamdani is not eligible to become President.

Perfect and wholly appropriate! Those old Joe ads were great.

What a photo. If you look deep into his eyes, you can see the back of his skull.

My grandchildren, when they were staying with us, loved slime. They would use up all our laundry detergent, making jar after jar of the stuff and playing with it, changing the color, looking up new recipes on-line. But Newsome, they would not have liked.
