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.”
No it’s not. The dude is just as fucking corrupt and only has an eye for fascist crapitalism, he doesn’t do good things at all for the people of California and has screwed up his tenure on purpose to his own benefit and the state governments. Exploiting your constituents is fucking fascist. He may not be a rapist/pedophile and in that regard and that regard only, might he a better man than the orange one.
