Newsom Commands The Conversation After Karoline Leavitt Provokes Outrage Taking Up For Trump

California Governor Gavin Newsom, 58, has joined the chorus of critics condemning Donald Trump, 79, after the president referred to a female reporter as “fat.” Known for his derogatory remarks towards women, Trump’s most recent offensive comment occurred on Air Force One on November 14. “Quiet, piggy,” he retorted to a Bloomberg journalist, inciting a negative backlash online. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt attempted to defend Trump's behavior during a briefing on November 20, arguing it was part of his genuine communication style, which resonated with his supporters. This justification fueled further outrage, particularly as Trump has a documented history of similar remarks, dating back to 1996. Newsom's office took a humorous jab at Leavitt, sharing an edited image of Effie Trinket from “The Hunger Games,” alluding to her willingness to defend such conduct. Despite facing backlash, Newsom continues to mock Trump, leveraging the situation for political gain as their rivalry intensifies.
