Podcast host and stand-up comic Joe Rogan isn’t always right about everything, but when it comes to California Governor Gavin Newsom, his analysis is dead on.
During a recent episode of his show, Rogan blasted Newsom for being a total fake who changes positions with the wind and doesn’t really stand for anything.
He also pointed out that no matter what people think of Trump, that he is the exact opposite of this and is a real person.
Transcript via Hot Air:
Nobody wants President Newsom either. Nobody believes in that guy. The guy’s a f***ing con man. I mean everything he did in California from trying to madate vaccines for kids when it was totally unnecessary to being caught out in public without a mask and lying about the fact that he was outdoors. All of it. Nobody believes in that guy. He’s just a politician. Just a stone cold narrative driven politician…Nobody thinks he’s a real human.
Whether you like Trump or not, whether you think he’s corrupt or not, that’s a human being…With Newsom, you’ve got like this construct, this cardboard cutout of a person.

It’s impossible to argue with any of that.
This apparently struck a nerve with Newsom, who responded.
Via the San Francisco Chronicle:
Gov. Gavin Newsom escalated his long-running feud with Joe Rogan, firing back after the podcaster described him as a “cardboard cutout of a person” and questioned whether voters see him as authentic.
In an all-caps post from the Governor Newsom Press Office X account late Thursday, April 30, Newsom accused Rogan of avoiding a direct exchange.
“JOE ‘LITTLE GUY’ ROGAN IS TOO CHICKEN TO HAVE ME ON HIS FAILING PODCAST BECAUSE HE KNOW I’D CRUSH HIM, SO HE TAKES CHEAP SHOTS FROM THE PEANUT GALLERY AS HE GETS RELEGATED TO IRRELEVANCY. ALL TALK, NO ACTION. I’M READY WHEN YOU ARE, ‘LITTLE GUY.’ OR KEEP HIDING!!!!” the post said.
You sure showed him, Gavin. How pathetic.
