PODCAST: U.S. Flag and LA Burning, Mexican Flags Flying High and Newsom Dug His J6 Grave

Newsom’s political future ‘practically nonexistent’ as LA devolves into riots, social media critics predict California governor faces mounting criticism over handling of riots just months after outrage over fire response

Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom’s floated potential run for the White House in 2028 was likely thwarted by his handling of the anti-ICE riots gripping Los Angeles, conservative social media critics predict.

Newsom has been floated as a likely 2028 Democratic contender for the White House as he wraps up his second term as governor in 2026. Riots plaguing the city in response to the Trump administration’s efforts to remove illegal immigrants residing in Los Angeles, which come on the heels of massive wildfires that rocked southern California this winter, have left Newsom on precarious political ground, according to conservatives who are balking at his response to the LA chaos.

“Gavin Newsom’s odds of clinching the 2028 presidential race are practically nonexistent,” X user Angela Belcamino posted Monday. “Across the country, Americans are eyeing California’s struggles under his watch, convinced he’d unleash the same chaos nationwide if he ever won the White House.”

“Gavin Newsom’s handling of the LA riots should be considered an in-kind contribution to the JD Vance 2028 presidential campaign. Newsom is providing a lot of ad material for free,” one social media account posted on Sunday.
