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.”
Cool. Let’s peel off just enough Democratic votes to
throw awayput into some column C that is going into a record, while we install the next Trump, dutifully carrying out the next iteration of Project 2025.I’m sure that’ll show 'em. We will all take solace in the fact that we can…point to the third party votes that are on the record while the conservatives have several more years of free reign to utterly destroy the country.
and you would have nobody to blame except your own party.
