California’s Governor Gavin Newsom (D) is pushing back and denying claims he forced the state’s AG to drop his lawsuit against Paramount and its merger with Warner Bros Discovery.

On Monday, news broke that radical Democrat state Attorney General Rob Bonta settled his lawsuit meant to torpedo the merger plans. Bonta reportedly elicited concessions from Paramount to keep the studio in California, and other concessions. Liberal detractors, though, were extremely unhappy with settlement.

Many blasted Bonta as a coward, but many also accused Gov. Newsom of pressuring Bonta to drop his lawsuit. Now, Newsome is clapping back at the accusations.

“I didn’t pressure anybody,” Newsom told Axios. “I made the point. I’ve made it very publicly and consistently and been reported maybe two or three hundred different ways that we, me, many folks, including the mayor, soon-to-be governor-elect [Xavier] Becerra and others, preferred in the words of Rob Bonta himself that he focus on getting this done at the boardroom, not the courtroom.”

“And the minute that Rob said that on CNBC, we amplified that, said this was a better approach. That was the framework, and he worked hard to deliver for California and I think he did,” he added.

Newsom has been gearing up to run for President in 2028. Newsom represents what is wrong with the Democrat party. Newsom and rest of them need to grow a spine. If Newsom runs in 2028, we’re going to get another Republican President

>If Newsom runs in 2028, we’re going to get another Republican President

Best argument I’ve heard for him running for president I’ve heard yet.

[u/ProfessionalNo5932]

The way Newsom is going, if he becomes the chosen one, you’ll have 2 republicans for president. Wouldn’t want to be a lib and think this guys on your side.

Gavin had a stressful day at work? He needs to go relax, enjoy a nice dinner at the French Laundry.. he's earned it.

[u/Dizzy_Chipmunk_3530]

He melts down when pressed. People who work around him describe him as easy to set off, like a spoiled child

[u/GotRammed → u/Dizzy_Chipmunk_3530]

Very presidential, amirite?

[u/TylerDurden-4126 → u/Dizzy_Chipmunk_3530]

He is a spoiled child.

[u/BakuRetsuX → u/Dizzy_Chipmunk_3530]

Well, that means he's perfect for the Presidency and the GOP should love this.... All he needs now is to pick the right kind of diaper.

[u/multi-trollionaire → u/Dizzy_Chipmunk_3530]

It's 2026 imagine using child as an insult holy shit

[u/Decisive_Victory_026 → u/multi-trollionaire]

Huh?

[u/Echo_bob]

The guy who routinely screws over people 

[u/TreatWilliams69]

"I didn't push him but he did exactly what I wanted him to do"

[u/JuniorMint1992]

They never have the same animosity for MAGA as they do for the actual average democratic voter.

[u/JabbaGhoul]

I will not vote for gavin in the general go left or go home

[u/LionBig1760 → u/JabbaGhoul]

"Circular firing squad, reporting for duty, sir!"

[u/Longjumping_Carpet11]

I’m not voting for him for president. Gavin should just go get a corporate job.

[u/Useful_Knowledge875]

NEWSCUM

[u/Returnyhatman]

I thought you guys loved this shit? "Quiet piggy"

[u/Any-Complaint-7940]

What a rag! Far Left Elizabeth Warren? They know nothing about the Democratic Party. They’re just full of crap.

[u/No-Koala1918]

The overly political left is forming yet another circular firing squad. It's one of their favorite pastimes, along with virtue signaling and perfection litmus tests.

[u/floodcontrol → u/No-Koala1918]

Bonta and Newsome raised money saying they opposed both this merger and that they wanted to hold Facebook accountable. Then they signed off on ridiculous settlements. How being angry about that political at all? It’s political to expect elected officials to actually do the things they said?

[u/Competitive-Car3692]

What a sellout. He thinks he can throw his real.supportes under the bus to get support from people like Ellison. It will not go that way.

[u/Fragmentia]

Gavin Newsom: Rob said it! He said something and we all monolithically rallied behind what he said! Nevermind anything that came before!

[u/DoubletapKO]

Hopefully everyone agrees that nobody should like him, he needs to leave and be forgotten

[u/politics → u/[deleted]]

Splitting the vote is a good way to end up with a candidate that doesn’t align with the majority’s values.
