California is on fire—literally and politically—and Governor Gavin Newsom seems to be fitting in perfectly with the radical agenda that has engulfed his state. While streets of Los Angeles crumble under anarchistic riots, Newsom and his inner circle appear to be cozy and undisturbed, presenting an epic disconnection from the realities everyday citizens face.
First Lady Jennifer Siebel Newsom was recently seen sashaying through the high-end luxury of Beverly Hills, appearing unconcerned with the chaos cracking every corner of LA. In designer sneakers and carrying a pricey tote, she hosted her own fashion parade in an area far removed from the burning chaos not too far away. This divide between California’s elite and its suffering citizens has never been more blatantly on display.
As the governor’s wife leisurely shopped in her “urban oasis,” downtown LA looked more like a scene from a war-torn third-world country. Broken glass, burning vehicles, and mobs waving foreign flags have taken over. Yet, Democrats tell us everything is under control. A shocking disconnect, where the rich and powerful stay shielded behind security details, while regular people confront dangerous streets head-on.
Back in Sacramento, Newsom is busy bickering with President Donald Trump about immigration, rather than focusing on fixing his backyard. The governor, clearly aiming for higher office, chooses to coddle these lawless rioters rather than confront their criminal actions. Instead of acknowledging the calamity, he’s busy blaming President Trump for implementing measures to safeguard the city. Newsom’s decision to sue to block National Guard intervention underlines a preference to protect his ego over his citizens.
Rioters continue to wreak havoc, each day culminating in new levels of madness—like when a body was found after a looting spree. Yet, somehow, Democrats either don’t see the chaos or choose to hide behind political safety nets. Meanwhile, leaders like Newsom, whose priority should be public safety, keep singing their same old song, tone-deaf to the cries for security and a return to order. Could it be any clearer that the elites are playing a different game entirely?
What does this say about the priorities of those in charge when a city’s residents can’t even walk their streets while their governor plays political games? While Newsom might dream of the White House, his inability to secure his own backyard offers a grim warning to the rest of the nation. When will the people get tired of this hypocrisy?
