Leftists are at each other’s throat. It’s almost like it’s every man for themselves at this point.
And a Democrat presidential contender just got brutally attacked by this Leftist celebrity.
In a no-holds-barred takedown, podcaster and radio host Charlamagne tha God has flat-out crushed California Governor Gavin Newsom’s hopes of ever reaching the Oval Office. The straight-shooting commentator didn’t mince words, declaring that the Democrat “he doesn’t stand a f*cking chance.”
This brutal verdict dropped during a heated live broadcast, where Charlamagne laid into Newsom without apology. It’s the kind of raw honesty that’s missing from the polished talking heads in mainstream media.
The timing couldn’t have been more perfect—or d*mning. Charlamagne’s comments hit the airwaves just hours after a viral video surfaced showing Newsom pandering to a black audience. In the clip, the governor awkwardly claimed, “I’m like you,” before bragging about his low 960 SAT score and admitting he “can’t read” his speeches, per Breitbart News.
Newsom’s attempt at relatability fell flat, coming off as just another elite liberal trying to play the everyman card. It’s the sort of cringe-worthy moment that exposes the disconnect between coastal Democrats and real Americans struggling day to day.
But this isn’t Charlamagne’s first rodeo when it comes to calling out Newsom’s blunders. The host has a history of holding the governor’s feet to the fire, and he’s not afraid to swing hard.
Flash back to 2024, right after Donald Trump’s triumphant return to the White House. Newsom was busy grandstanding about his plans to “Trump-proof” California, as if he could single-handedly shield his state from a duly elected president.
Charlamagne wasn’t having it. He tore into the idea, warning that throwing around terms “like ‘Trump-proof’” would backfire spectacularly.
In his own analysis, Charlamagne pointed out the inevitable hypocrisy: phrases “like ‘Trump-proof’” will make someone look “like a hypocrite when, you know, you need the president for something, and you all in his face, smiling and cheesing the same way, you know, President Biden was, after they called him ‘a threat to democracy’ and all of these other things.”
It’s a spot-on critique of how Democrats love to demonize their opponents personally, only to cozy up when it suits them. Charlamagne nailed the double standard that’s plagued the left for years.
He didn’t stop there, offering some tough-love advice to Newsom and his ilk: “If there’s policies that you don’t like that Trump may enact, make it about that. Don’t make it about the person,” as Mediaite spotlighted.
That’s the kind of practical wisdom that resonates with everyday folks tired of the endless personal attacks in politics. Focus on issues that matter, not petty vendettas.
Fast forward to more recent jabs, and Charlamagne kept the pressure on during a guest spot on The Daily Show. He didn’t hold back, openly mocking the Democratic Party’s supposed top dogs.
Singling out heavyweights like Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Governor Newsom, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Charlamagne questioned who could actually step up and lead the fractured party.
His mockery highlights the leadership vacuum in the Democrats, where figures like Newsom strut around with big ambitions but zero substance. It’s a party in disarray, and voices like Charlamagne are exposing the cracks.
All this adds up to a humiliating reality check for Newsom, whose slick image and California swagger aren’t fooling anyone outside his echo chamber. If even allies like Charlamagne are turning on him, what’s left for his national dreams?
