(CNN)California Governor Gavin Newsom announces a campaign ad on Fox News where he talks aboutBy doing so, it marked the holiday of July 4thIn the image of the Statue of Liberty, the soaring fireworks and the Statue of Liberty, the tension of "America the Beautiful" gently rushes to the guitar.
But if you think Newsam is offering Independence Day courtesy to attract the support of the Fox News audience, you don't know Newsam.
This new 2022 re-election commercial is just one thing. .. Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis. And Newsom does it the way other Democrats need to emulate-by highlighting the threat that today's radical Republicans pose to our freedom.
The 54-year-old governor opens aadand declares, "It's Independence Day. Let's talk about what's happening in America." He then added to Florida Fox News viewers ominously that "freedom is being attacked in your state."
Next, you'll see an image of DeSantis waving Donald Trump. The screen is filled with quotations from news reports, which seems to support Newsom's claim that "Republican leaders have banned books, made voting difficult, and restricted speech." In the classroom, and even making women and doctors criminals.
And when the visuals turn into picturesque views of California's beaches and vineyards, the governor declares: Freedom: Freedom of speech, freedom of choice, freedom from hatred, and freedom to love. Newsom concludes his proceeding with the words, "Don't let them take away your freedom."
Boom. That's the messageDemocrats should acceptToday's Republicans are literally a radical movement coming for our freedom. DeSantis, who expects many political observers to run for president in 2024, is a Republican effort across many states to ban everything fromacademic freedomtofertility {49. Is one of the leaders of. }
Last week when the Roe v. Wade case was overturned by a conservative majority in the Supreme Court andvarious statesboldly pioneered strict abortion restrictions. , I understand the scope of this radicalism. Complete abortion ban.
One of the most barbaric examples of this extreme new reality was revealed on Friday when a 10-year-old Ohio girl who became pregnant after being raped was reported as. rice field. Abortion is not permitted under the state's newly enforced law, which prohibits the end of pregnancy after six weeks.
IndianaIndianapolis Star Tribunesays that a child who misses the Ohio cutoff in just three days will travel to a neighboring state to have an abortion. I was forced to do so. , Where the abortion was finally performed.
In response to this news article, Newsam-against the GOP-tweeted, "Republican Platform: The Government Mandated the Pregnancy of a 10-year-old."
The most common complaint I've heard from left-wing listeners on my Sirius XM show over the past year is that the Democratic elected officials aren't fighters. Obviously, there are exceptions to that criticism. However, Newsam acknowledged this feeling in his recent remarks, and recentlytold CNN: "The success of the right to define the conditions of the debate, the success of the right to rule the story. They are winning in a way. That is alarming to me." He said, "You have to fight them." It won't be. "
This explained the fiery words of the Governor of California to CNN, calling DeSantis a bully, a scam, an authoritarian, a fake conservative, and so on. ..
Newsom's criticism of DeSantis is even more remarkable given therecent report. The efforts ofto overturn the 2020 election, as well as the possibility of Trump's direct involvement in his alleged actions that would enable a violent attack on January 6th. Suggests.
Those who speculate that Newsom could escape himself in 2024 if President Biden does not seek reelection, as DeSantis is believed to be planning a bid for the White House. There is also. However, Newsom draws a sharp contrast between himself and the Governor of Florida, anddeclares:"We are as different as sunlight and darkness."
In contrast, my answer is "yes" and "no." Yes, Progressive Newsome is very different from DeSantis, the far right in policy. However, they both share a common feature in that they enjoy the need for their political rivals.
For example, last year DeSantis signed a lawagainst Covid-19's obligations in Brandon, Florida. Why did he sign the bill in themedium-sizedtown, about four hours drive from the state capital, Tallahassee? As many political observerspointed out inat the time, DeSantis seems to have chosen the town as a way to troll Joe Biden in light of the president's right-wing taunts.
In a similar fashion, Newsomejoined Trump's social media platform purely for the purpose of trolling Trump. Newsom also skillfully uses Twitter as a political weapon. Texas Attorney General has an employee abortion outside the state.
In response,Newsom tweeted.
Whether he's looking for the White House or not, Newsome shows Democratic leaders what the base wants to see. Republican radicalism. This is a guide that all Democrats should adopt.
