Watching The Five’s take on this spectacle was a relief for anyone tired of Washington’s elite living by one set of rules and lecturing the rest of us by another. President Trump’s blunt scolding of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Governor Gavin Newsom for jet-setting to Europe nailed the obvious hypocrisy: while ordinary Americans face rising costs and crime, these celebrities-in-government treat travel and photo ops as their job. It’s not just tone-deaf — it’s an insult to working families who pay the bills.
AOC’s performance has long been more headline than substance, and last night’s round of grandstanding proved she’s still not ready for primetime. She traffics in moral preening and slogans, then hops a plane for a selfie tour of foreign capitals while voters back home want solutions for inflation, public safety, and schools. This is the modern left: style over competence, virtue signaling over governing.
Gavin Newsom’s globe-trotting is the perfect example of elite entitlement. California’s roads, power grids, and city streets are in disrepair and yet its governor has time for a European runway circuit; that kind of behavior screams priorities inverted. If you’re running a state mired in homelessness and spiraling costs, your job doesn’t come with frequent flier miles — it comes with accountability.
Let’s be honest about the moral arrogance on display: preach austerity to the middle class and fly first class to the climate conference. Democrats demand sacrifices from hardworking Americans but shield their own lifestyle from scrutiny, and the media pretends it’s normal. Conservatives see through the theater — we know that leadership means rolling up your sleeves, not jetting to photo ops.
President Trump calling them out was not some random tantrum; it was a reminder that American leadership should be for Americans first. He’s saying what many of us have been thinking: stop the performative virtue, fix the problems here at home, and stop treating public office like a celebrity tour. That straightforward message is exactly what voters want instead of the usual Hollywood-grade hypocrisy.
Patriots should remember this moment when the next election rolls around. Hold them to account — whether they’re in Congress or the governor’s mansion — for leaving work behind to chase headlines abroad. America deserves leaders who stay and fight for the country, not influencers who treat public service like a passport stamp collection.
