Regardless of just lately going through a recall election and regardless of his state affected by an alarming crime wave, California governor Gavin Newsom was cheered and celebrated whereas showing on The View at this time. To make issues worse, the hosts begged him to run for President, and even thanked him for bashing Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (to deflect criticism away from his personal management failures!)
The interview was comparatively brief. Newsom was tossed softballs about his coronavirus insurance policies to begin off. The hosts eagerly agreed together with his boasting that California was main the way in which with vaccinations and booster pictures and “following the science” on tackling the Omicron variant. Whereas touting the California manner, Newsom went out of his solution to criticize Florida:
“To not belabor this, however one factor we do know, and it’s simply fascinating, there’s a lot consideration being given to Florida as of late. And I don’t imply this as an affordable shot however it’s fascinating. For the reason that starting of this pandemic, 53% extra deaths per capita within the state of Florida,” he touted, as Pleasure Behar and Sunny Hostin eagerly agreed.
“Thanks for saying that,” Hostin mentioned.
Newsom took notes from the Biden administration, and claimed the media did not give him sufficient credit score and did not bash Florida sufficient.
“I simply suppose it’s an necessary level as a result of it’s not introduced up on numerous networks on this nation. In encompass sound,” he boasted as Hostin and Behar agreed.
Newsom continued to brag about how blue states like his had “adopted the science” and claimed that his state had achieved higher “economically than Florida, Texas and Indiana and because the U.S. as an entire.”
The hosts did not query Newsom’s spin on the financial system. Small companies house owners that had been compelled to close down or flee the state in all probability would not agree with the governor’s evaluation that they’d do higher in California than in Florida.
Nonetheless, Hostin thanked the Democrat for bashing pink states to raise his personal, once more:
“Thanks for saying that. Properly we are saying that so much on this present particularly due to the governor of Florida does not appear to be following the science. Properly, New York Metropolis Mayor Invoice de Blasio is following the science,” she started earlier than asking Newsom if he would observe strict vaccine mandates like de Blasio.
In spite of everything that boasting, Pleasure Behar then reluctantly learn off a query in regards to the rampant mass robberies taking place in California, noting that regulation enforcement blamed California’s leaders’ lax insurance policies punishing theft:
As a result of California is seeing a wave of smash-and-grab robberies, um the place mobs ransack retail shops, your personal enterprise has been robbed a number of instances prior to now 12 months, you will have a few wine shops I perceive, critics and regulation enforcement blame this in your lax bail and theft insurance policies, emboldening criminals.
“Okay right here’s your probability to inform us,” she prodded Newsom to assault his critics, which he willingly did.
“Properly, they couldn’t even determine to what they had been referring to because it pertains to these insurance policies in order that’s numerous rhetoric,” Newsom claimed earlier than saying that its necessary that individuals “really feel” protected even when criticism towards him didn’t match as much as the “details.” Newsom defended himself by claiming crime decreased because the 2014 Prop 47 handed, solely to extend with the pandemic.
Whereas stating they had been prosecuting crime, Newsom argued it wasn’t a California drawback: “However i’s not distinctive to California. We see it in Chicago, Minnesota….[V]iolent crime and property crime for instance is larger in Texas than it’s in California, I do not see that on Fox Information,” he griped.
Whereas pink states had been talked about a number of instances on this interview, nobody requested Newsom to touch upon former fellow Democrat governor, disgraced Andrew Cuomo, or to reply any questions on why he confronted a recall just some brief months in the past.
As an alternative, Whoopi hailed Newsom for remaining in workplace.
“I simply wish to say it should actually piss folks off that you simply really maintained your job!” she mentioned smugly, because the hosts and viewers cheered.
On the finish of the interview, the hosts once more flattered the Democrat, suggesting he run for President of the US. He nearly misplaced his job governing California and so they need him to run for President?
JOY BEHAR: Are you going to run for president earlier than we go? Are you going to run for president?
HOSTIN: You must.

Properly, New York Metropolis mayor Invoice de Blasio is following the science and he simply introduced a sweeping new vaccine mandates for all non-public companies and for all children over 5 consuming indoors as what he calls, a preemptive strike on Omicron. Would you contemplate one thing like this? Are you able to rule out imposing extra mandates?
NEWSOM: Look, at this level, with a 2.5% positivity fee, and we’re working our manner by this, we do not see that within the quick time period. That mentioned, California hasn’t been shy, we’ve got been first keep at house order, first mandate for healthcare employees, for colleges, we’ve been first in each class…..

BEHAR: They’re organized, aren’t they?
NEWSOM: Very organized. I simply wish to know, We’re not solely taking it severely, we’re calling it out. There is not any excuse. There’s no condoning that conduct. We wish to arrest and prosecute people and we’re doing that. We simply introduced a six-year sentence for an organized ring simply final week, there have been prosecutions and arrests in L.A., in San Francisco and we acknowledge that we’ve got to do extra and higher. However i’s not distinctive to California. We see it in Chicago, Minnesota. This just isn’t distinctive, property crime has gone up in lots of, many states, pink states not simply blue states, violent crime and property crime for instance is larger in Texas than it’s in California, I do not see that on Fox Information.
HOSTIN: Why do you suppose that’s?
BEHAR: You gained’t see that there.
NEWSOM: In 39 states, and that is fascinating and necessary, 39 states did what California did since 2000 and that is raised this felony threshold which is what they’re pointing to because the trigger although we did it in 2014 and crime decreased in ’15, in ’16, in ’17, in’18 and ’19. So there is a comfort, there’s a politics that’s being performed right here, however the details recommend that that is one thing else and completely different.
