Hilton, in a piece published on Tuesday, ridiculed the struggling governor for prioritizing tweeting over effective leadership. Newsom allowed the situation to deteriorate just to provoke a response from Trump, as Hilton pointed out:
However, when President Trump eventually intervened by deploying the National Guard, California Democrats quickly criticized this move as ‘escalation’ and accused Trump of ‘manufacturing’ the crisis.
At the heart of it all, the increasingly preposterous figure of Gavin Newsom.
What was his main response to the devastating scenes of chaos unfolding in his state’s largest city? Trolling Trump on social media.
What decisive action, if any, has Newsom taken, Hilton questioned? According to him, Newsom’s only course of action has been to file a lawsuit hoping for a sympathetic judge to order Trump to withdraw the troops. Yet, that hope was not immediately realized as a federal judge declined to issue a temporary restraining order on Tuesday, despite Newsom’s plea, and has set a date for further arguments on the matter.
