Oh, Gavin, Gavin, Gavin.
You almost have to admire the sheer audacity it takes to go on Meet the Press, look dead into the camera, and declare — without a trace of irony — that nothing bothers you more than a dishonest politician. I mean, if we were handing out Oscars for political theater, Newsom would’ve walked away with Best Actor, Best Screenplay, and probably Best Visual Effects too (because his spin game is something straight out of Marvel).
Let’s not dance around it — this is the same guy who’s built an entire political career on looking straight into the camera and telling you not to believe your lying eyes. So, when he tells America how much he despises liars in politics? Folks on social media didn’t even need fact-checkers. They just needed a mirror and a memory.
Let’s start with the Trump phone call lie during the L.A. riots. Newsom publicly claimed there was no call, not even a voicemail. Bold, right? Problem is, Trump’s team produced call logs showing two attempted calls — one lasting four seconds, the other a whopping sixteen minutes. That’s not just a fib. That’s a “delete the call logs and hope nobody kept receipts” type of move. Except, oops, they did. So maybe what Newsom really can’t stand is other politicians lying — you know, the ones who aren’t him.
Gavin Newsom says that he hates it when politicians lie. 😃
What a quote Gavin. Thank you. It’s going to be so useful over the next three years. pic.twitter.com/QyiMha22Cr

Then there was the I-5 meltdown over JD Vance’s Camp Pendleton visit. Newsom breathlessly warned Californians that the highway would be shut down for some missile-launching “vanity parade.” Sounds scary, right? Until the Marine Corps calmly released a statement saying no highways would be closed, no public disruptions, and yes, everything was done by the book. So was this misinformation, disinformation, or just garden-variety Newsom-flavored nonsense? Either way, there’s your integrity moment of the week.
And let’s not forget Proposition 50 — the redistricting “reform” that looks a whole lot more like a Democrat power grab with a smiley face emoji on the ballot. According to Rep. Kevin Kiley, Newsom and his team aren’t just lying about the measure — they’re lying on the measure. Right there, in black and white, trying to pass off a political gerrymandering move as “protecting democracy.” Because nothing says protecting democracy quite like gutting independent oversight and stacking the deck.
California’s congressional districts are already 83% Democratic.
Now Gavin Newsom wants to spend $282M to gerrymander even more seats.
California is in decline.
We can’t keep giving the same failing leaders more power.

But the hypocrisy parade doesn’t stop there. Remember when Jimmy Kimmel got suspended? Newsom threw a fit on X, crying about the death of free speech under Trump. But — and this is rich — he’s the same guy who signed multiple anti-speech laws in California. One got struck down in August. Another, AB 587, bit the legal dust last year. And now he’s pushing S.B. 771, which is likely headed for the same fate. If irony were a renewable energy source, California would be exporting gigawatts by now.
Newsom also loves to spin crime stats like he’s auditioning for Cirque du Soleil. He claims red states are crime-ridden and Trump should send in the National Guard — conveniently ignoring that the actual crime hotspots are overwhelmingly Democrat-run cities sitting inside Republican states. St. Louis, Atlanta, New Orleans, Birmingham — name a violent city, and odds are it hasn’t seen a GOP mayor since Reconstruction. But sure, let’s blame Texas and Florida.
And then there’s the wildfire incident. Picture it: a mother, standing in the ashes of her neighborhood, asks Newsom what he’s doing to help. He tells her — with maximum sincerity — that he’s “literally talking to the President right now.” She asks to hear the call because she, unlike Gavin, lives in the real world. His answer? “I tried five times.” Translation: “I’m lying to your face, but I hope you’re too traumatized to notice.”
And this is the guy the Democrats are grooming for 2028?
Look, say what you will about Republican politicians — and the left certainly does — but most of them at least pretend to believe what they say. With Newsom, it’s like watching a real-life version of the old Spider-Man meme — one Gavin pointing at another, both accusing the other of lying, while the rest of us sit back wondering if they even know which one is real anymore.
Gavin Newsom: I hate politicians who lie.
Also Gavin Newsom just minutes later: Biden showed no signs of cognitive decline.

So when Gavin Newsom says he hates dishonest politicians, maybe he should start with the guy in his bathroom mirror. Because if there’s one thing California’s golden boy has mastered, it’s saying the quiet part loud — and hoping no one’s paying attention to the facts that follow.
