'We're Gonna Punch These Sons a Bitches in the Mouth': Newsom Issues Fiery Response to Texas Redistricting

California Governor Gavin Newsom unloaded on Republican lawmakers in Texas, who on Wednesday passed legislation creating five congressional districts more favorable to GOP candidates.

Democratic lawmakers in the state fled Texas briefly to prevent Republicans from reaching the necessary quorum to conduct legislative business, but they ultimately returned.

Newsom, who will almost certainly run for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2028, has been vehemently against the move and warned that if Texas followed through with its rare mid-decade redistricting, he would lead as similar effort in California on behalf of Democrats. Last week, Newsom issued what he called a “FINAL WARNING” to President Donald Trump to withdraw his support for the plan.

“This is radical rigging of a midterm election,” Newsom said on The Siren on Wednesday. Radical rigging of an election. Destroying, vandalizing this democracy, the rule of law. So, I’m sorry. I know some peoples’ sensibilities. I respect and appreciate that. But right now, with all due respect, we’re walking down a damn different path. We’re fighting fire with fire. And we’re gonna punch these sons of bitches in the mouth.”

Thank God for Gavin Newsom. And to the rest of Democratic leadership: pay attention to what actually works in rescuing our country from the fascists.

Newsom has the formula to reinvert reality by doing and saying things that Trump has done or said.

The double standard we have been living under, that has just about destroyed us, should shift toward equilibrium over time.

Punching people. Imagine that. Donnie already said it many times.

They should piss and moan.

I just hope that the Democrats being pushed out still run and take it to the voters that THEIR voice is being silenced be they Democrats or Republicans. That THEIR vote is being STOLEN. The gloves are off.

Voters in California are being given a choice, whereas votes in Texas are not! Gavin Newsom is making damn sure that they are aware of that and what TACO Don is demanding

Knock their teeth in. He should vouch to take our wealth back and give it back to the people. Ohs nos socialism. Nah, that is our money, our natural resources, our wealth. Trump is selling us out like he thinks we are ukraine. America isnt for sale.

When the stock market crashes in the next couple of years, and people cant retire, or sell their homes like they think they will be able to, then will people be pissed off enough?
