Gavin Newsom Is Crushing Ron DeSantis As Sean Hannity Helplessly Watches

Sean Hannity is trying to tilt the debate between Ron DeSantis and Gavin Newsom toward DeSantis, but Newsom is still crushing DeSantis. Border security should have been a DeSantis strength, but then Newsom did this. Governor Newsom said, “I support border security. You are trolling folks and trying to play political games so you can out-Trump Trump. How is that going for you, Ron? You are down 41 points in your own home state.

Hannity grew frustrated that he couldn’t get Newsom to buy into the Fox News framing on the border. Newsom said, “I support the $14 billion package that includes 2300 border agents. It also includes $850 million in the technology for border security. You hear nothing from Ron DeSantis. You hear nothing, Sean, I respectfully. You hear nothing from the Republican party. They play politics..

Newsom then hit DeSantis with the claim that he supported Obama’s border amnesty. DeSantis squeaked back that Newsom was lying.

Ron DeSantis has spent the debate playing hysterical culture warrior, while Gavin Newsom is the reasonable voice not jumping out of his lifted shoes and trying to scare the bejesus out of viewers. This debate is a very one sided affair and not in the way that Sean Hannity and Fox News were hoping for. DeSantis just doesn’t measure up.

1. Outstanding. Finish him, Gavin.

Put Little Boots in the sticky wastebasket of history.

[Blue Owl]

21. Where he can scrounge around for discarded pudding cups and lick them clean

[BOSSHOG]

2. Thx Tom

I’m not watching but I chuckle at the notion that hannity and fox thought that it would turn out any other way. Desantis is a lightweight in every possible way. Of gigantic proportions.

Okay I’m back in the English teachers dog house.

[2naSalit]

9. Unless...

Somebody, use your imagination here, is so desperate to knock him out of the race for good, finish him, as is happening here.

Newsom is a great surrogate for the Biden team. DeSatin is not capable of winning without cheating and bullying.

This is great news. I can't and don't care to watch.

3. The video clips are hitting Twitter now

4. Gavin Newsom will probably be president one day.

DeathSentence will NEVER be president. Ever.

[90-percent]

27. his biggest liability

is that Kimberly Guilfoyle used to be his gf.

[jimfields33]

28. Actually his wife.

[MyOwnPeace]

30. I lost a friend........

not a 'close' friend, but a friend. We no longer speak because he knocked on my door and asked me to sign a paper in support of him running to be a school board member.

I said to him: "Would you agree with me that it is important for a school board member to be able to make wise decisions that would effect the quality of education that our schools are providing?"

"Well, of course!" he replied.

I then said, "Well, I'm afraid I cannot support your candidacy for membership on our school board. I vividly remember you campaigning and actively supporting Donald Trump to be the President. Anybody who thought that was a 'wise decision' does not get my support to be a member of our school board."

Sorry, Gavin, but by having asked 'her' to be your wife, I really do have to 'question' your ability to make 'wise decisions!'

[Zilli]

31. She used to be an articulate and appropriate prosecutor in San Francisco

I remember TV interviews with her during the Cane Corso case and she was not in any way the wack job she is now. Something changed and she went to the dark side. I think Gavin showed good judgement by ending that marriage and moving on. No, Gavin is not "perfect, nobody is but his abilities were on full display last night and I would definitely vote for him in the future.

[usaf-vet]

34. Trump...how many wives? How many extra-marital affairs? How many sexual assaults? Of course, let's not forget Stormy!

And she the ex-wife is chasing money and power via the connection to the soon to be the former Trump empire.

[kimbutgar]

37. She married him and then moved to NY for her career and cheated on him with a rich guy

I know people that knew her at Mercy HS in SF and no one had nice things to say about her then.

[jaxexpat]

38. Co-workers, generally, can't stand gold-diggers.

[MyOwnPeace]

43. Good point!

He DID end the marriage and move on. That's worth some points, for sure!


Who knows, maybe the whole 'relationship' was based on one crazy binge night - and I'll never hold THAT against anybody!

[MorbidButterflyTat]

45. No.

It's to his credit he divorced the cavern mouthed gargoyle.

[onecaliberal]

5. Yes, he's kicking ass.

[superpatriotman]

6. Fox and fat Sean are trying to portray CA as a wasteland

Not a single politifact showing how much of a shithole FL is.

Teeing up softballs for meatball to keep repeating the word ‘leftist’ as much as possible.

I’m sure Newsom knew this was coming. Wedge issues only. California bad.

[Silent Type]

7. I'd sure vote for Newson over DeSantis. I'm not as sure about average person on street.

[usaf-vet]

35. Newson gives us facts. DeSantis give us lies and disinformation. We have already had one GQP liar in the White House.

[NowISeetheLight]

8. Go Gavin

Luv our Guv!!!

[msongs]

10. sounds like he is doing trump's dirty work lol nt

[BaronChocula]

11. Awesome!

Now take down Nikki.

[progressoid]

12. I just got home so haven't seen it yet. Went over to Freerepublic to see about their take.

Surprise surprise. They think DeSantis is winning this thing and will get a bump in the polls from tonight.

And Newsom is "slick".

[Drum]

13. We watched the whole thing...those two govs seemed like entirely different species.

Newsome was terrific

[DontBelieveEastisEas]

14. You have, I believe, a very optimistic take on how it went.

I hope that Newsom is our next Obama type speaker and leader.

I worry that no one on the fence about crime rates was convinced by Newsom.

I watched a clip that was largely about the crime in Florida vs California.

Hanity was adding his view that the stats proved DeSantis right, and that the audience could see the stats being displayed.
It seemed that Newsom did not notice Hanity saying that, or just didn't respond to it.

Also, after DeSantis quoted stats by crime per a quantity of population, Newsom did not offer any such scientific sounding data backing his own claims.

I hate listening to a gravely voice debating. Robert Kennedy Jr. is excruciating to listen to and Newsom sounds just enough like that to where it worries me his voice could get worse in 5 to 9 years from now.

I love Newsom's potential.

[PortTack]

19. I don't think Gov Newson sounds anything like R. Kennedy Jr Yes gravely voice, so did Bill Clinton

Especially after multiple speaking engagements.

[DontBelieveEastisEas]

20. You are right, nothing like RK Jr.

That trait in Bill Clinton's voice must have been subtle, I don't recall it being like that.
But, I'm sure you are right, it just isn't something that was impressed on me.

As long as it doesn't progress, it's fine, and perhaps adds a charming quality.

[PortTack]

53. I think Bill Clinton just got that way when he'd been on the campaign trail day in and day out.

RFK Jr has some medical condition that causes his voice to sound so terrible. Newsom just sounds a bit deep, maybe a little gravely, but not much

[JI7]

25. I don't think Clinton has a gravely voice. But he would often lose his voice

so he would be hoarse sometimes.

[Polybius]

41. I agree that Newson sounds nothing like Kennedy

More like Fauci. I also never noticed that Clinton has a "gravely voice."

[RicROC]

36. While I totally support Sherrod Brown,

I find it difficult to listen to his gravelly voice.

[Polybius]

40. Newsom's voice has gotten considerably worse even recently

What happened? My mom used to say "sounds like he has a frog in his throat" about that kind of voice. Fauci talks like that too, but he is like 25 years older. Newsom is young.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

46. No.

[kimbutgar]

15. I remember when Gavin was mayor of SF and he was calm and also willing to listen to issues

Not surprised he’s kicking the Desatans bs,

[ailsagirl]

22. That's our Governor !!!!

[SKKY]

16. Ok, I'm not sure if this is because Newsom is just that much better than DeSantis...

...or if DeSantis is just flailing, but this is almost difficult to watch. You can see why DeSantis is falling far, far behind almost everyone in just about every state. He's not looking "Presidential", not even Governor material. Now, having said that, Newsom needs to be careful because I sometimes get a sense he can be a bit snark.

[PortTack]

17. Down 41 pts in his own state!! He isn't going to carry his own state in the primary. My question..will he be

Smart enough to drop out at that point? Or will he just grin and continue??

[H2O Man]

18. Thank you!

Recommended.

I'll watch it later tonight. I had forgotten it was on. Much appreciated!

[orleans]

23. what is the point of this debate? is there a best governor award desantis is trying to win?

or desantis opted to try this b/c he just can't seem to come out ahead on the all republican debates and figures he can win a debate against a single person, a democrat, and if hannity is running the show?

and why did gavin do this? he isn't running for president. did he just come out to play with the desantis like a cat will do to a mouse before the cat destroys it?

[Tom of Temecula]

26. Gavin had ...

... nothing to lose. It was a free stage and a wonderful opportunity to answer a lot of MAGA bullshit, and he took proper advantage of it.

DeSantis had everything to lose, and did.

29. Is D wearing a toopA? ---Lifts, and a toop.

Fake, from top to bottom.

[Polybius]

42. I don't think so

If he is, I never noticed.

[Johonny]

33. I assume Newsom is lining up for 2028

Playing team Biden now with a move to SoS or such position since he can't run again in CA.

[calimary]

50. MAN! "Deer in the headlights" if ever I've seen it (at least on human faces, that is).

[Cha]

24. TEAM NEWSOM! Guess Who?

39. Ron is busy turning off his source of money flow.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

44. Just signed into my old Twitter account to check in with @therickwilson.

Read his comments and then comments of others. The bifurcation is still in full bloom.

[Initech]

47. I love it when Fox gets taken down a few pegs!

[tinymontgomery]

48. Of course on you tube

Of course on YouTube this what fox said head line stated.I'm not providing a link due to it being fox.

'Ron DeSantis shreds Gavin Newsom on crime: 'I know you like to lie!'

[maveric]

49. They should do a second debate in San Francisco with Rachael Maddow as moderator.

Will DeSatan agree to that format?

[OAITW r.2.0]

51. Sucks to be Ron now.

Thanks Fox for providing the forum and doormat for this expose.

[republianmushroom]

52. This was Newsom gotcha from the get go. IMO

Did DeSantis have his elevated white boots on or did he stand on a box ?
