Dear Gavin Newsom, when you’ve lost Joe Scarborough…
You know things are bad for a Democrat when they become the subject of mockery on Morning Joe. During the show on Tuesday, Joe Scarborough roasted California Governor Newsom for his ridiculous recent attacks on President Trump, calling it ‘quite embarrassing.’
Newsom is just doing what all of the Democrats planning to run for president in 2028 are doing. They think they have to be seen constantly going after Trump. It’s all performative and it’s all for the benefit of the Democrat base. They’re all desperately trying to look tough.

JOE SCARBOROUGH, MSNBC: And, Willie, you can see the Democrats are trying to find their footing, and it’s quite embarrassing actually. I mean, Gavin Newsom, I mean, have you seen what he’s doing online? And it’s like, just take a deep breath.
Don’t try to turn the ship 180 degrees. And they don’t know what to do. I have a good idea. Instead of trying to, like, school Donald Trump, talk into the camera about affordability. Talk about making groceries, like, more affordable. Talk about what you’re going to do for housing. Talk about what you’re going to do for energy prices that continue to go up. We heard the congressman yesterday talk about energy prices skyrocketing in New Jersey. You know, don’t try.
Willie, as I’ve been saying, Donald Trump’s not on the ballot in ’26. He’s not on the ballot in ’28. Why try to drag Muhammad Ali in the ring when you’ve got Chuck Wepner standing right in front of you?
And Wepner’s a bleeder. He’s a bleeder. You want him. So why are you going, I’m going after Donald? No, you’re not. You’re not running against Donald Trump. Go after Tweedledee or Tweedledum. You know, Chuck Wepner, a bleeder. Go after him.
Here’s the video:
HOLY CRAP! Gavin Newsom has just lost left-wing Morning Joe, who is calling his impersonation of Donald Trump an “embarrassment.”

Newsom would be so much better off if he focused on rebuilding after the wildfires, but that’s actual work. He would rather waste time going after Trump on Twitter/X because that’s easy.
