In this RedState article, Bob Hoge slams California Gov. Gavin Newsom for delivering a bitter, Trump-bashing speech on America’s 250th birthday instead of celebrating the nation, quickly undermined by his own mounting legal and political troubles.
- Newsom’s July 4 address focused on attacking Trump as corrupt and a threat to democracy, claiming Californians would fight every “illegal order” with lawyers and will, while ignoring the state’s decline under his leadership.
- The governor faces DOJ probes involving his wife and an FBI informant wearing a wire in a related investigation, highlighting hypocrisy as he rails against others’ alleged corruption.
