Jonathan Capehart Praises Gavin Newsom’s Social Media Strategy
Jonathan Capehart praised Governor Gavin Newsom’s social-media impressions of former President Donald Trump, saying they are resonating and producing results.
Newsom’s Approach to Confrontation
Capehart noted that Newsom is not new to high-profile confrontations. The California governor has repeatedly squared off with Fox News personalities and taken public jabs at Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, demonstrating a willingness to engage adversaries directly.
Response to Criticism
At a recent press conference, when a reporter called the impressions "unseemly" and asked why he was copying the president, Newsom replied that he was merely mirroring Trump. He suggested that critics who object should instead question the president about his behavior.
Broader Impact and Reception
Capehart applauded Newsom both for bringing the fight to Trump and for articulating a broader frustration among Democrats who feel their party has been slow to respond to the former president. (via NewsBusters)
