Gavin Newsom and Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis took place Thursday night in\u200c Alpharetta, Georgia, hosted by Fox News\u2019 Sean Hannity.<\/p>\n<p>And while the \u200bcage match between\u200b the blue-state and red-state governors\u2062 might be over, Newsom\u2019s camp\u200b is still firing shots.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2023\/12\/01\/newsom-desanitis-debate-cheating-00129555\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Politico<\/a>, Newsom\u2019s team complained that DeSantis and \u200cHannity \u201ccheated\u201d during the debate.<\/p>\n<p>The Democrat\u2019s team accused \u200dthe Fox News host of rigging the event in \u2062favor of the Republican and said DeSantis\u2063 broke certain rules \u2064to which\u200d the two\u2063 governors had agreed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe debate was rigged, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/newsom-awarded-millions-mosques-preaching-anti-semitism-groups-allegedly-tied-hamas-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Newsom<\/a> \u200bstill won,\u201d said Sean Clegg, an adviser to the California \u200dgovernor.<\/p>\n<p>Newsom\u2019s team claimed DeSantis violated an agreed-upon rule that\u2062 candidates\u2064 would not receive advice during the debate. The Republican was seen speaking with his wife, Casey, who serves as a political adviser\u2062 to her husband, during the \u200bintermission.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe was ready to\u200b coach him when his fake bathroom \u200bbreak happened,\u201d an \u2064aide to the Democrat said, according \u200dto Politico.\u2064 \u201cOur \u2063guy never left the podium once. He didn\u2019t\u2063 take a bathroom break.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Newsom\u2019s \u200dstaff\u2062 further claimed Fox News and Hannity violated a rule that multimedia would\u200d not be used during the debate. The Democrat\u2019s team said Fox News producers confirmed the prohibition at a pre-debate walkthrough.<\/p>\n<p>However,\u200c Hannity proceeded to show several graphics on screen, some of which cast an unfavorable (though accurate) light on Newsom\u2019s governance.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not all the Democrat\u2019s staff complained about. It also accused DeSantis of violating \u2064a supposed rule that candidates could bring \u2063only a\u2063 pen and \u200cpad of paper onto the stage.<\/p>\n<p>The Republican turned heads when he displayed\u200c a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfchronicle.com\/sf\/article\/poop-map-san-francisco-debate-18526030.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">map of San Francisco<\/a> that showed\u2064 places \u200dwhere human\u200c feces had been found. DeSantis also held up images from the book \u201cGender \u200cQueer: A\u200c Memoir,\u201d which he described as \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/desantis-pulls-pornography-mid-debate-absolutely-torch-newsom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pornography<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">This is \u2063a book that\u2019s in some of \u200dthe schools in California.<\/p>\n<p>This is pornography.

Politico reported that was confirmed\u2062 by a second person. (A Newsom aide said both\u2063 men wanted to stop.)<\/p>\n<p>While we can\u2019t confirm\u2062 the veracity \u200bof all \u2063of the \u200cDemocrat\u2019s claims, we can confirm that he wasn\u2019t able to defend his administration\u2019s policies that have resulted in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/actor-flees-california-get-land-ridiculousness\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mass\u200d exodus from \u2063California<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis hit Newsom hard on several key topics, including his undermining \u2063of parents\u2019 rights, his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and his\u200b enabling of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-targets-guns-blames-pandemic-for-homicide-crisis\/\" title=\"Biden Targets Guns, Blames Pandemic for Homicide Crisis\">left-wing prosecutors<\/a> like Los Angeles County\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/soros-backed-da-gascon-released-convicted-murderer-decades-early-8-months-later-rearrested-felony-charges\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">George Gascon<\/a>, whose refusal to prosecute crimes has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/capitol-police-officer-ignored-by-j6-panel-for-doing-his-job\/\" title=\"Capitol Police Officer ignored by J6 panel for doing his job\">caught national attention<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Newsom couldn\u2019t muster any reasonable justification for any of these policies. How\u200d could one justify allowing kids to have access to pornography in school or permitting people to defecate in the streets?<\/p>\n<p>What Thursday night showed was that left-wing politicians struggle to \u200drationally defend the policies they enforce and that their default tactic is to shift the conversation away from their failings.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why Newsom\u2063 and his team resorted to crying \u200cfoul about DeSantis\u2019 supposed violations of debate rules instead of responding to anything the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/ron-desantis-bans-student-organization-florida-campuses-support-terrorist-group\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Florida governor<\/a> said.<\/p>\n<p>If there is anything to take from this sparring session, it\u2019s the importance\u2063 of confronting the radical left-wing ideology head on.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis showed\u200c how effective this can be Thursday night. Newsom\u2019s state has suffered tremendously with him as governor, and that\u2063 becomes clearer every time his\u2064 policies are brought\u2064 into the spotlight.<\/p>\n<p>Talking about the issues in a candid\u2064 manner \u2014 and trying to come to real solutions \u2014 is the only way America can move forward.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/newsom-camp-claims-hannity-broke-debate-rules-desantis-cheated-bathroom-break\/\">Newsom Camp Claims Hannity Broke Debate Rules, DeSantis Cheated During Bathroom Break<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\">The Western Journal<\/a>.<\/h3>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What specific actions has Governor Newsom \u200dtaken\u200b to address the homelessness crisis in California?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  \u200c Proven\u2062 handling of \u2064the COVID-19\u2063 pandemic, his failure to address the homelessness crisis in \u2063California, \u2062and his support for radical policies such \u2063as defunding the police.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of addressing these \u2062valid concerns,\u200d Newsom and his team have\u200b resorted \u200bto petty complaints about the \u2064debate rules and alleged cheating. These claims only serve to distract from the real issues at hand and further undermine\u2063 Newsom&#8217;s credibility.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the\u200b fact that Newsom&#8217;s wife had\u2062 to step in to end\u200d the debate raises \u200cquestions about his ability to handle tough situations and defend his own positions. If he cannot even finish a \u2062debate without \u200bhis spouse intervening, \u200bhow can he be expected to effectively \u2063govern a state?<\/p>\n<p>The accusations made by \u200dNewsom&#8217;s camp also \u200bhighlight a concerning trend in politics \u2013 the constant\u2062 need to play the victim and shift blame onto others. Rather than taking responsibility for his own \u2064shortcomings, \u200bNewsom is attempting\u200d to \u2063paint \u200dhimself as \u200bthe victim of a \u2064rigged \u2062debate.<\/p>\n<p>This kind\u200c of behavior is not befitting of a leader. Instead \u200bof whining about perceived injustices,\u2064 Newsom should focus on addressing \u2063the \u2062<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/merrick-garland-hearing-six-takeaways-on-hunter-biden-investigation\/\" title=\"Key points from the Merrick Garland hearing on the Hunter Biden investigation.\">valid concerns raised<\/a> by DeSantis and formulating substantive solutions to the problems facing California.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, the outcome of the debate \u2063speaks for\u2063 itself. While Newsom&#8217;s\u2062 camp may try to spin the narrative in \u2064their \u200cfavor, the reality \u200cis that DeSantis effectively \u200dhighlighted the failures of Newsom&#8217;s administration and\u200c presented a compelling case for his\u2062 own leadership.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/california-labor-boss-charged-with-embezzlement-tax-evasion\/\" title=\"California Labor Boss Charged With Embezzlement, Tax Evasion\">people deserve leaders<\/a> who are willing to \u200dengage in substantive debates and address\u200b the real\u200d issues \u2064affecting their constituents. It is disappointing to see Newsom and his team resort to these petty tactics instead of rising \u2064to\u200b the \u2062challenge and defending their record.<\/p>\n<p>As the election approaches, it is important\u2063 for \u2063voters to see through these\u200b distractions and \u200bfocus on the\u2062 policies and leadership qualities\u2063 that truly matter. The \u2064people of California deserve a governor who will\u200b prioritize their needs and\u2062 work diligently to improve their state, rather than one who will deflect \u200cand make excuses.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, it is up to \u2063the voters to decide\u2062 who they believe is the best candidate to lead California. It \u2064is my hope\u200d that they will see past the theatrics\u2062 and \u200dconsider \u2063the substance of the candidates&#8217; positions \u2062and records.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The long-awaited debate between California&#8217;s Gov.
