“Lock him up,” Tuberville told the news website about Newsom. ”LA looks like a third world country — anarchists are in charge, law enforcement is being attacked, and the rule of law is nonexistent."

An hour later, Newsom took to X to reply to the Alabama politician.

“Alabama has 3X the homicide rate of California,” Newsom wrote. “Its murder rate is ranked third in the entire country. Stick to football, bro.”

There are a number of conservatives who straddle a line such that I can't be sure if they're genuinely stupid or if they're just cultivating that image.

Tuberville isn't one of them though.

Hmm. Are intrusive thoughts memes struggling to be born? Not in this case, I hope.

Sick burn, but it'll take more than a few clever quips to make me forget that Gavin Newsom hangs out with the likes of Steve Bannon and Charlie Kirk and spews right-wing anti-trans talking points.

Hangs out with..? You mean engaged with on a podcast such that MAGA spazzes who like those guys might actually hear from Newsom things they’d never hear on Fox.

[–] crusa187@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago

I mean of course, it’s Tuberville. He only spews bile, always.

That's because Californians know how to dispose of a body properly...
