Forget the high road: Newsom takes the fight to Trump and his allies

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

In a common insult the Trump administration uses against dissidents of federal policy, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller called a California judge a “communist” after she blocked roving immigration arrests based on race alone.

The MAGA-embraced epithet from Gov. Gavin Newsom’s official press office in response, however, was hardly typical for a Democratic politician.

“This fascist cuck in DC continues his assault on democracy and the Constitution, and his attempt to replace the sovereignty of the people with autocracy,” the California governor’s office posted on social media. “Sorry the Constitution hurt your feelings, Stephen. Cry harder.”

Popular among the far right and the gutters of social media, the term is used to insult liberals as weak and is also short for "cuckold," which refers to the husband of an unfaithful wife.

2. President steve should stfu

[brush]

3. Go, Gov. Newsom, call out the involuntary incel whose wife left him to be another Musk concubine.

No more mister nice guy. I love it.

[allegorical oracle]

26. Might regret it later, but Newsom's gutsy retorts are appealing, gotta say. nt

[brush]

29. Possibly so, but I think it's a tactic in his overall strategy to win over some...

voters, mostly in red states, for the midterms and 2028.

4. About bloody damn time!

Eff the high road!

[Flash953]

5. Yes Eff the high road

[Bobstandard]

6. They should all be doing this

You want to run for President, The Senate, or House? Call out Trump and Republicans with language as cutting as this or get out of the way. We need street fighters now, not ‘statesmen.’

[Wednesdays]

12. Tim Waltz was doing that last autumn

to some extent. Hopefully, it's the beginning of a trend.

[orangecrush]

7. That left a mark

Didn't it, Cuckie?

[BurnDoubt]

8. I think he's the best thing going now. He's got the chops and savvy...

If we don't beat him down because he may not make MY dreams come true first.
SUPPORT HIM. He's supporting you. That's all you need to know. Everything else can wait. ThIs is an EXISTENTIAL CRISIS MOMENT!
All things considered, a bad Newsome is supremely better than The Tyrant.
KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE BALL!!!!!!!!
Keep the faith, do the Work, stay focused, and you will have a better chance to find the Justice you are due. If not, what are your chances you will be given the kind of Justice you are promised in The Constitution by The Tyrant?
If you don't know, you can't be helped.

[AllaN01Bear]

9. that insult has been around for years folks . its what made me who i am.

[AllaN01Bear]

10. thats my gov. love his retort.

[Karasu]

11. Fucking good. This is the only language modern Republicans speak.

Anyone still pushing the "high road" at this point clearly hasn't been paying attention for the last 10 damn years.

[Tumbulu]

22. the last 40 years- this stupid high road has sunk us

i have little confidence that we can recover as a nation. But as states, possibly.

Don't know.

[Iggo]

14. 'Bout fuckin' time.

[democratsruletheday]

28. exactly....

better late than never. Guy is fighting back effectively

[OldBaldy1701E]

15. Hear Hear!

[emiami]

16. Both.

Newsom is a statesman and a streetfighter.

[Hotler]

17. A good example of gumption. More please.

When will someone have the gumption to say the words domestic enemy?

[Gimpyknee]

18. How'd "When they go low, we go high" work out for Dems?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

19. I prefer, "When they go low, we kick them in the teeth."

[mjvpi]

20. I like that. Consider it stolen.

Newsom can lead the charge and take the heat.

[Torchlight]

24. Obama got reelected

[Figarosmom]

21. I'm glad Newsom is not letting up and keeps hitting them

He's been relentless.

[Tumbulu]

23. ICE is lodging up in Woodland, CA and my take is that they are planning

some ruthless actions in Sacramento with the idea of provoking our state and Newsom in particular.

Why else would they all be coming here and filling our hotels?

Except of course to terrorize our farming communities? And workers at Home Depots?

[Flash953]

25. Yeah it's bad I saw some things on Channel 3 in Sacramento also they had many things go wrong in LA
