The California governor described White House reporters as ‘sycophants’
California Governor Gavin Newsom criticized the media for what he described as overly deferential coverage of Donald Trump, characterizing reporters in Oval Office press briefings as “sycophants.”
The Democratic governor — widely seen as a potential contender for the 2028 presidential race — made the remarks during a Sunday interview with progressive commentator Jack Cocchiarella.
Cocchiarella pressed Newsom on what he framed as “hesitancy” within the White House press corps to scrutinize certain subjects: namely, the 80-year-old president’s health.
“You see these press conferences in the Oval Office,” the governor replied. “You maybe have one or two reasonable reporters. They ask a question; there’s no chance for a follow-up. And then it’s seven sycophants from news outlets.”
sure, trump is uniquely fast in his rightward push, as opposed to DNC democrats moderate rightward push.
we are one minute from eclipsing nazi germany and yet we still argue for the lesser of two evils. ESPECIALLY since we are years away from another election and have all the time we need to not feild a peice of shit, but nope, time to buckle in for another inevitable false compromise
I wouldn’t count on another real election. Russia style at best
