JD Vance Demolishes Gavin Newsom After Governor Takes a Cheap Shot at VP’s Family
The article discusses a recent social media exchange between California Governor Gavin newsom and Vice president J.D. Vance. Newsom posted a critical message on X (formerly Twitter), condemning Vance for immigration policies that he claimed were “tearing apart families,” accompanied by a video of Vance enjoying family time at Disneyland. Vance responded calmly and succinctly with, “Had a great time, thanks,” effectively deflecting the criticism.
The article highlights that Newsom’s attack backfired, with many X users pointing out controversies tied to Newsom, including federal raids uncovering illegal immigrant minors working on California cannabis farms and his own past hypocrisy during COVID-19 lockdowns. The piece portrays Newsom as a politically weak figure often mocked or outmatched, contrasting him with Vance, who is depicted as a sharp and composed debater who has publicly bested numerous Democratic politicians and media figures.
the article suggests that Democrats and their media allies struggle to effectively challenge Vice President Vance,while Newsom’s attempts to score political points tend to fail and expose his vulnerabilities.
Surely Democrats and their media allies will soon recognize themselves as no match for Vice President J.D. Vance.
Of course, Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom of California has repeatedly proven himself no match for any challenger.
Saturday on the social media platform X, Newsom channeled all of his inflated self-importance and self-righteousness into a chiding post directed toward Vance, only to have the vice president deliver a characteristically cool reply on Sunday that must have left the governor red-faced and seething inside.
The exchange began when Newsom d a 12-second clip of Vance and the vice president’s family at Disneyland on Saturday.
Then, like most modern Democrats, the governor apparently thought he could score moral points on illegal immigration.
“Hope you enjoy your family time, @JDVance. The families you’re tearing apart certainly won’t,” the preening Newsom wrote.

Aside from vanity, one can only guess what prompted Newsom to attack Vance on social media. Perhaps the governor hoped to goad the vice president into an angry response.
If so, it did not work.
In fact, Vance gave one of the most savage five-word replies in social media history.
“Had a great time, thanks,” the vice president wrote.

In multiple raids conducted Thursday, federal immigration agents discovered 10 illegal immigrant minors, including eight unaccompanied, working on two cannabis farms in Southern California.
X users reminded Newsom of that uncomfortable fact.
You have been facilitating child trafficking for forced labor, Newscum.
You’ve got some nerve trying to shame JD Vance for being a father.

We’re deporting them together.
You’re allowing kids in third world countries to be kidnapped from their families and smuggled into the U.S. so they can work on ur slave farms.

He’s not returning your underage illegal alien indentured servants to work on your donor’s pot farm, if that’s what you’re asking

Another X user reminded Newsom of his hypocrisy in violating his own tyrannical lockdown policy during the 2020 COVID scare.
“What’s wrong with you? I guess you forgot you were fine dining when you told us not to gather with families—you hypocrite!” the user wrote.

The remarkable thing about Newsom is that he is an intellectual lightweight, a terrible governor, and a coward to boot. Yet his name consistently pops up in the establishment media as a possible 2028 Democratic presidential nominee.
Newsom, for instance, got his clock cleaned during a televised 2023 debate with Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida.
During the Los Angeles-area wildfires in January, cameras caught Newsom fleeing from an angry constituent while pretending to have now-former President Joe Biden on the phone.
Vance, on the other hand, has issued public verbal beatdowns to a number of Democrats and their operatives, including Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, the party’s 2024 vice-presidential nominee; Rep. Ro Khanna of California; and CBS propagandist Margaret Brennan — all issued in a manner so surgical that the vice president came across as level-headed.
In short, the tiny number of wise Democrats already know to avoid tussling with Vance.
But Newsom, it seems, will have to learn the hard way.
