California Governor Gavin Newsom should be charged criminally for describing Stephen Miller as a “fascist,” according to a Republican lawmaker.

On Friday, Newsom’s press office posted this on X: “STEPHEN MILLER IS A FASCIST!” MAGA accused Newsom of “trying to get Miller killed” with the simple comment on social media. Miller is currently the White House deputy chief of staff under Trump.

    Look, Steven clearly isn’t a fascist, he just talks like a fascist, and acts like a fascist, and does fascist things!

    I hate being in this timeline where Newsom is the Democratic front-runner. The guy is such a opportunistic slimeball.

      Sure, but you have to weigh that against the other guy, who is straight up a fascist dictator narcissist convicted felon child abusing/rapist piece of sub-human shit.

      Next to someone like that, even Newsom looks like a shining star.

          The problem is that the only way I can see to set up a system that will give the pick of the lesser vs greater good is to set up a system in which anyone who desires power has absolutely no channels to access said power. Basically you can only be president if you don’t want to be president. This would cause all sorts of other issues such as rapid chains of abdication.

          That is exactly what politics is: the least bad worst thing. It always has been and always will be.

      It was always going to be an opportunistic slime ball. We were never going to go immediately from Trump directly to a Democratic Socialist. Anybody who thinks that possible is delusional.

      We just need to steer the ship some and solidify the rules in government.

      Didn’t we have this same conversation about Biden and so people didn’t vote for Biden?

    I like how he shows a definition of “international terrorism” and highlighted the part of the definition that says “appears to be intentional” as though that alone constitutes international terrorism.

    3 months ago Gavin called temu goebbels a fascist cuck (which he is). Evidently calling him just a fascist is over the line though.

    I think they were hoping for a libel suit instead, so we could all watch Miller try to prove that he’s not a fascist.

    Derrick, the guy calling for his arrest is literally calling an ex FBI member communist. You couldn’t make it up. Genuinely shameless hypocrisy.

    But … if it’s true ^(edit: that he’s a fascist)^? I mean, didn’t one of the Ten Commandments declared explicitly, that “Thou shalt not bear false witness ^(edit: like denying, that he is a fascist, when it’s clear, that he is one.)^ against thy neighbour”!?
