Ted Cruz took aim at California Governor Gavin Newsom during a recent appearance on Fox News Hannity. The Texas Senator called Newsom “very good at being slick and very good at running away from the facts.” Cruz was responding to Newsom’s latest political power grab in California.
The feud started when Cruz criticized Newsom’s redistricting scheme on social media. Cruz made a small math error in his post about congressional seats. Newsom jumped on the mistake and mocked Cruz, telling him to “learn math.”
But Cruz fired back even harder on Hannity. He pointed out that California has every natural advantage you could want. Beautiful weather, mountains, and ocean views should make it a paradise for working families.
Instead, Newsom has turned the Golden State into a nightmare. Families are fleeing California in record numbers because of high taxes and crazy liberal policies. Small businesses are closing down and moving to Texas where they can actually succeed.
Now Newsom is trying to rig the election maps to grab more power for Democrats. California Republicans have filed lawsuits to stop this blatant power grab. They know this is about silencing voters and protecting Democrat politicians.
Even some California Democrats spoke out against this kind of redistricting just weeks ago. But now they are mysteriously changing their tune to help Newsom. This shows how corrupt the whole operation really is.
Cruz is right that Newsom is slick at avoiding the truth about his failures. California has the highest homeless population, the worst schools, and the most expensive gas in America. Families cannot afford to live there anymore.
This is exactly why Americans need to pay attention to what liberals like Newsom are really doing. They talk smooth but their policies hurt working people every single time. Cruz sees right through the lies and is not afraid to call them out.
