Senator Ted Cruz took aim at California Governor Gavin Newsom during a recent appearance on Fox News. Cruz called Newsom “very good at being slick” and “very good at running away from the facts.” The Texas senator criticized Newsom’s failed leadership in the Golden State.
The feud started when Newsom tried to embarrass Cruz over a simple math mistake on social media. Cruz had posted about California’s redistricting power grab but got one number wrong. Newsom quickly jumped on the error to mock the popular Texas senator.
But Cruz fired back hard on Hannity’s show. He pointed out that California has every natural advantage but Newsom has still ruined the state. Cruz noted California’s beautiful weather, mountains, and ocean but said liberal policies have destroyed it all.
This fight is really about Newsom’s desperate attempt to rig elections through redistricting. California Democrats want to redraw congressional maps to grab even more power. They are trying to eliminate Republican seats completely before the 2026 elections.
California Republicans are fighting back with lawsuits to stop this political power grab. They say Newsom is ignoring the will of voters who wanted independent redistricting commissions. The GOP claims Democrats are tearing apart communities to silence opposition voices.
What makes this even worse is that California Democrats used to oppose this exact same scheme. Just months ago they praised independent redistricting and said politicians should not draw their own lines. Now they have completely flipped to help Newsom grab more power.
Meanwhile California continues to fall apart under Newsom’s leadership. Families are fleeing the state in record numbers because of high taxes and crime. Businesses are leaving for Texas and Florida where conservative policies actually work.
Cruz exposed the truth about Newsom during his Fox News appearance. While Newsom talks slick and tries to distract from his failures, hardworking Americans see right through his act. California deserves better than this failed liberal politician.
