The article emphasizes the contrast between Newsom&#8217;s strict enforcement of rules on citizens while seemingly disregarding them in his own conduct, particularly with respect to gatherings during the pandemic. the article argues that Newsom&#8217;s actions exemplify a broader trend of hypocrisy among liberal leaders regarding the enforcement of laws and civil liberties.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>In the land of liberal hypocrisy, California Gov. <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/06\/12\/gavin-newsom-is-the-white-male-kamala\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gavin Newsom<\/a> is king of the hypocrites.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As anti-ICE <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/06\/11\/mexican-illegal-alien-charged-with-attempted-murder-for-allegedly-throwing-molotov-cocktail-during-la-riots\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rioters<\/a> rip up parts of Los Angeles, the duplicitous Democrat is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.ca.gov\/2025\/06\/09\/governor-newsom-suing-president-trump-and-department-of-defense-for-illegal-takeover-of-calguard-unit\/\">suing<\/a> President Donald Trump for calling up members of the California National Guard and the Marines to restore order.

Like the anti-ICE demonstrations in Los Angeles, many of the BLM &ldquo;social justice&rdquo; demonstrations devolved into riots.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Tyler said Newsom&rsquo;s &ldquo;disregard for the rule of law&rdquo; is showing once again.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We have a constitution that makes religious liberty our first and most important liberty.
