California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom was shredded on social media following an appearance on a late-night show this week after using more politically inflammatory language against the Trump administration in the wake of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
Appearing with left-wing host Stephen Colbert, whose ratings-challenged show has been canceled by CBS, Newsom called the situation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents doing their jobs a “Code Red” situation, while suggesting that people push back with violence.
Newsom’s remarks came on the heels of legislation he signed that was passed by the Democratic supermajorities in the state legislature banning, among other things, ICE agents from wearing masks to protect their identities.
They also come amid a growing rash of shootings at ICE facilities and attacks on immigration and federal law enforcement officials for months as he and other Democrats continue to describe Trump administration officials and federal officers as “Nazis” and members of the “Gestapo,” which was Adolph Hitler’s secret police.
“I fear that we will not have an election in 2028,” Newsom incredulously told Colbert on Tuesday. “I really mean that. At the core of my soul unless we wake up to the ‘Code Red,’ what’s happening in this country.”
WATCH (at the 7:30 mark):
A day later, another ICE detention facility – this one in Dallas, Texas – was attacked by gunfire from a radicalized young leftist who committed suicide after wounding two and killing one illegal alien. Federal investigators discovered ammunition belonging to the shooter scrawled with the words “ANTI-ICE.”
