Newsom compared to infamous Dem governor who also tried to block National Guard
Vivek Ramaswamy said he sees parallels between California Gov. Gavin Newsom and another controversial Democratic governor who literally stood in the way of the National Guard and had well-known presidential ambitions. Newsom is beginning to “resemble” former Alabama Gov. George Wallace in several aspects of his response to Los Angeles’ riots, Ramaswamy claimed Tuesday on Fox News’ “Jesse Watters Primetime.” The Ohio gubernatorial candidate noted how Wallace – an avowed segregationist who ran for president four times – forced the hand of President John F. Kennedy by preventing Black students from attending the University of Alabama. “[Newsom’s] behavior is starting to resemble that of another Democratic governor from U.S. history by the name of George Wallace, who was the governor of Alabama, who famously stood in the way of federal desegregation,” Ramaswamy said. MAXINE WATERS TAUNTS ARMED AGENTS AFTER FEDS SLAM DOOR ON HER DURING LA RIOTS: ‘YOU BETTER SHOOT STRAIGHT’ “The parallels are actually pretty striking, if you think about it: Democrat governors, when you look at George Wallace, he resisted desegregation. Gavin Newsom is resisting deportations. George Wallace wanted segregated cities. Gavin Newsom wants sanctuary cities. George Wallace stood in the school door, blocking the way. Gavin Newsom is blocking the ICE vans. It’s the same Democrat-governor playbook.” The former DOGE co-leader said both Newsom and Wallace “dodge[d] the feds and rall[ied] the radicals.” “What they were both doing is really carving their Democratic primary path for their presidential ambitions,” he added. “Gavin Newsom’s presidential ambitions are going to end in the same place that George Wallace’s did: In the dustbin of history where it belongs.” In June 1963, Wallace prevented two Black students – Vivian Malone and James Hood – from enrolling on the Tuscaloosa campus of the University of Alabama and made his infamous “stand in the schoolhouse door.” NEWSOM SAYS LOS ANGELES RIOTERS WILL BE PROSECUTED, SLAMS TRUMP FOR ‘TRAUMATIZING OUR COMMUNITIES’ After Wallace refused Deputy Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach’s order to step aside, he delivered a pro-states-rights speech and did not budge. Kennedy federalized the Yellowhammer State’s National Guard under the Insurrection Act. Gen. Henry Graham personally confronted Wallace, who ultimately relented. The next year, Wallace primaried President Lyndon Johnson and notably won a few northern states he had targeted on his segregationist platform – but lost to the incumbent. In 1968, he tried again on the American Independent line with a counter-civil-rights message – splitting the Democratic vote, winning five states and helping ultimate victor Richard Nixon. During his 1976 run, he apologized for his past support for segregation. This week, Newsom objected to President Donald Trump’s federalization of the California National Guard and the ensuing deployment of 700 Marines to Los Angeles to assist in riot response. Late Tuesday, Clinton-appointed federal Judge Charles Breyer rejected a Newsom request to block Trump’s military deployments. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP Newsom continued to lambaste Trump, saying in a video statement Tuesday that, “authoritarian regimes begin by targeting people who are least able to defend themselves, but they do not stop there.” Newsom also took heat for his riot response strategy from some famous Los Angeles residents, including actor Jon Voight. “You fool,” Voight fumed in an X video posted early Wednesday. “They [the rioters] would burn you down like they are burning the cars and the American flag.” Fox News Digital reached out to Newsom for comment but did not immediately hear back.
Now and then: How Trump’s response to LA riots has changed from 2020 Black Lives Matter and Antifa
President Donald Trump quickly reacted to fledgling riots in Los Angeles County over the weekend by activating the National Guard, a response that drew comparisons to the summer of 2020, when widespread violence and destruction arose from Black Lives Matter and Antifa riots. Trump’s decision to federalize 4,100 National Guard soldiers and deploy hundreds of Marines came in the face of forceful objections from Gov. Gavin Newsom, who is now suing Trump over the move. Trump’s deputies, however, say the National Guard was a necessary step to quash riots lest they reach the scale of the ones that occurred across the country in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death on May 25, 2020. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Trump’s decision would prevent a scenario like the one in Minnesota that year, when Democratic Gov. Tim Walz waited two days to call upon the National Guard to address unrest in his state. “That’s one of the reasons why these National Guard soldiers have been federalized, so they can use their special skill set to keep peace,” Noem said in a recent television interview. “We’re not going to let a repeat of 2020 happen, and if you remember, it all happened in Tim Walz’s state, in Minneapolis… and Governor Tim Walz made very bad decisions.” DAVID MARCUS: TWO WAYS TRUMP 2.0 QUELLED THE WOULD-BE LA RIOTS Walz tried to get Trump to “bail him out” after the governor “let his city burn for days on end,” Noem said. Walz activated the National Guard in Minnesota on May 28, after looting and arson had already cropped up in the state in response to Floyd’s death. Within hours of Walz announcing he had mobilized National Guard soldiers, rioters set ablaze Minneapolis’ Third Precinct police station. Although Walz ended up activating Minnesota’s entire National Guard, his hesitancy prompted Trump to threaten on May 29 to federalize the soldiers “to get the job done right.” ‘STATE OF REBELLION’: EXPERT WEIGHS IN ON NEWSOM CHALLENGE TO TRUMP DEPLOYING NATIONAL GUARD By May 30, Minnesota’s National Guard announced that the governor had fully mobilized it, marking the “largest domestic deployment” in its history. During these riots, Trump was far more deferential to governors, several of whom saw their cities ravaged by rioting, looting, arson, violence and death. The Democratic governors struggled at times to balance a law-and-order posture with their sympathy for those frustrated by police brutality. The National Guard is a military force based in each state, and governors and presidents have shared authority over it. Governors typically have purview over their respective National Guard units, but presidents can call them into federal service in certain scenarios. On June 3, 2020, Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., pressured the Trump administration in a New York Times op-ed to invoke the Insurrection Act, which would allow the president to federalize the National Guard. The prospect was so controversial at the time that the newspaper retracted the op-ed, citing fierce blowback from its readers. JONATHAN TURLEY: DEMOCRATS’ RABID ANTI-ICE RESISTANCE IN LA AGAINST TRUMP COULD BACKFIRE By June 4, governors in 32 states and Washington, D.C., activated a total of more than 32,000 National Guard soldiers as the chaos transpired across the country. CLICK HERE FOR MORE IMMIGRATION COVERAGE DHS Deputy Secretary Troy Edgar echoed Noem’s remarks in a statement online on Monday, saying Trump moved so quickly because he did not want the same level of violence and damage as in 2020. Trump and Noem “will not allow violent radicals to intimidate and shut down law enforcement in LA,” Edgar said. “This isn’t the Summer of 2020 2.0. I thank the brave men and women of the National Guard defending federal buildings so that immigration officials can keep us safe.”
White House mocks Newsom address, accuses governor of hiring Harris’, Biden’s campaign manager
The White House took several jabs at California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s address to the nation on Tuesday night as his state navigates massive immigration protests in Los Angeles. Newsom, a Democrat, said in the address that “Democracy is under assault” as he sparred with President Donald Trump over the administration’s decision to dispatch thousands of National Guard troops and hundreds of Marines to address the riots. In response, White House assistant to the president and director of communications Steven Cheung accused Newsom of spending time creating the video rather than serving as governor. Likewise, Cheung took a swipe at the video’s audio, claiming the production quality was akin to Newsom’s leadership. NEWSOM SAYS LOS ANGELES RIOTERS WILL BE PROSECUTED, SLAMS TRUMP FOR ‘TRAUMATIZING OUR COMMUNITIES’ “Gavin NewScum spent all this time–instead of doing his actual job– preparing for a webinar just for the audio to not work,” Cheung said in a post on X late Tuesday evening. “The production quality is just like his leadership quality– sh***y.” Additionally, Cheung suggested that Newsom had brought on former President Joe Biden and former Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign manager, who both repeatedly warned during the 2024 campaign cycle that a second Trump term would pose a “threat to democracy.” “NewScum must’ve hired Kamala and Biden’s loser campaign team because he saying this is a ‘threat to democracy,’” Cheung said. A spokesperson for Newsom did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital. Other White House officials also weighed in on Newsom’s address to defend the Trump administration’s crackdown on immigration. “American voters elected President Donald Trump to carry out his agenda, which includes enforcing the immigration laws passed by their elected representatives,” deputy assistant to the president and principal deputy communications director Alex Pfieffer said in a post on X on Tuesday. “California is trying to subvert democracy.” NEWSOM FILES EMERGENCY MOTION TO ‘IMMEDIATELY BLOCK’ TRUMP’S USE OF MILITARY TO STOP LA RIOTS Newsom said in the address that more than 200 people have been arrested in connection to the protests and labeled Trump’s decision to deploy troops to Los Angeles a “brazen abuse of power.” “This isn’t just about protests here in Los Angeles,” Newsom said in the video. “This is about all of us. This is about you. California may be first, but it clearly will not end here. Other states are next. Democracy is next. Democracy is under assault before our eyes.” White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller also responded to one of Newsom’s posts on X late Tuesday evening after the governor said the Founding Fathers did not “live and die to see this moment,” and urged for peaceful protests. Meanwhile, Miller shared a photo of a shirtless man standing on a vehicle and waving a California flag in front of fumes with the comment: “According to Governor Newsom, this is what the Founders were fighting for.” Trump has gone head-to-head with Newsom over the deployment of 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to Los Angeles following protests sparked by ICE arrests in the city on Friday. HEGSETH DEFENDS NATIONAL GUARD LA DEPLOYMENTS, SAYS ICE AGENTS MUST BE PROTECTED While Trump has argued the National Guard troops are necessary to prevent destruction in Los Angeles, Newsom said most of the troops “are sitting, unused, in federal buildings without orders.” Additionally, Newsom argued that the move violates state sovereignty because governors typically oversee National Guard troops. Trump invoked a law to place the troops under federal command in order to bypass Newsom. “This isn’t about public safety,” Newsom said in a post on X on Monday. “It’s about stroking a dangerous President’s ego.”
Newsom under fire from Trump world, but Democrats hope his speech resets his image
California Gov. Gavin Newsom is getting hammered by President Donald Trump, his allies and others on the right – but his address to the nation will likely boost his deflated image among many fellow Democrats. Newsom, speaking in a prime-time address following days of rioting in Los Angeles sparked by immigration raids carried out by ICE at the Trump administration’s direction, appeared to elevate himself as leader of the anti-Trump movement. California’s two-term governor, who is considered a potential contender for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination due to his clear national ambitions, once again denounced Trump’s deployment of over 2,000 National Guard troops and some 700 U.S. Marines to the streets of the nation’s second-most populous city. But Newsom’s message wasn’t just for residents of blue-state California. ‘STATE OF REBELLION’ – EXPERTS WEIGH IN ON NEWSOM’S CHALLENGE TO TRUMP DEPLOYING NATIONAL GUARD “This isn’t just about protests here in Los Angeles,” Newsom declared in his address. “This is about all of us. This is about you. California may be first, but it clearly will not end here. Other states are next. Democracy is next. Democracy is under assault before our eyes.” The governor stepped up to the plate with his party aiming to escape the political wilderness following last November’s punishing election setbacks – as Democrats lost control of the White House and Senate and fell short of winning back the House majority – and looking for leaders to push back against Trump’s sweeping and controversial moves. And Newsom, with his address, appeared to signal that he’s one of the party leaders ready to spearhead the fight. NEWSOM SAY LOS ANGELES RIOTERS WILL BE PROSECUTED, SLAMS TRUMP FOR ‘TRAUMATIZING OUR COMMUNITIES’ “He is fighting back, going toe to toe with Trump, and Democrats and the country are noticing,” veteran strategist Maria Cardona, a DNC committee member, told Fox News. Newsom’s address followed days of verbal crossfire between himself and Trump, after the president broke six decades of precedent by federalizing California’s National Guard without the consent of the governor. The governor and California’s attorney genearl are legally pushing back against Trump, with the Democratic National Committee (DNC) taking to social media to spotlight the move. And Newsom personalized the conflict by daring the Trump administration to follow through on a threat by Tom Homan, the president’s muscular border czar, to arrest him. “In a time where there are broad concerns about the failure of Democrats to fully embrace their roles as the vocal opposition party, Gov. Gavin Newsom has found his voice,” longtime political scientist Wayne Lesperance told Fox News. Lesperance, president of New Hampshire-based New England College, noted that Tuesday’s “speech pushing back against the administration’s enhanced immigration tactics and deployment of the National Guard and the Marines for law enforcement purposes has propelled Newsom to the forefront of the opposition to Donald Trump.” Cardona argued that “Newsom has done a terrific job standing up for California in the midst of an unprecedented attack by its own federal government and the President of the United States. He’s done two things extraordinarily well: he has been unequivocal in his condemnation of any violence and in his support of local law-enforcement. And secondly, he has fully supported California’s immigrant communities as they have been the backbone of the state’s economy and they are deserving of respect, decency, humanity, and due process.” Trump doesn’t see it that way. “The INCOMPETENT Governor of California was unable to provide protection in a timely manner when our Ice Officers, GREAT Patriots they are, were attacked by an out of control mob of agitators, troublemakers, and/or insurrectionists,” the president charged Wednesday morning on social media. And Trump said that “if our troops didn’t go into Los Angeles, it would be burning to the ground right now.” The president’s comments from the Oval Office on Tuesday and his Wednesday posts on his Truth Social platform were accompanied by a series of blasts at Newsom by top White House aides and other administration officials, and the mocking of the governor for technical glitches in the live feed of his address. While the current crisis in many ways forces Democrats to play defense on Trump’s strongest issues – immigration and border security, and law and order – it gives Newsom a chance to do some damage repair with many Democrats. Newsom angered many on the left in March when he declared it was “deeply unfair” for transgender athletes to participate in girls’ sports. And his invitation to top MAGA leaders, such as Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon, who joined the governor on the initial episodes of his new podcast in a search for common ground following last year’s elections, also damaged Newsom’s image among some Democrats. With some of the potential 2028 Democratic presidential nomination contenders already making moves and visiting some of the crucial early-voting states, Trump’s attacks on the governor may be handing Newsom a political gift. “Ironically, President Trump’s hammering of Newsom may actually help the California governor enhance his position among party faithful and any potential 2028 voter looking for a candidate unafraid to go head-to-head against the administration,” Lesperance noted. “Looking ahead, the question becomes whether or not Newsom can sustain himself in this new role.”
GOP bill seeks to ban and deport visa holders who support Hamas amid wave of antisemitic violence in America
FIRST ON FOX: New legislation would broadly ban any visa holders who support Hamas or other designated terror groups from remaining in the U.S. The Terrorist Inadmissibility Codification Act, led by Rep. August Pfluger, R-Texas, expands current law under the Immigration and Nationality Act to ban any members of Hamas, Hezbollah, al Qaeda, ISIS and Palestine Islamic Jihad from entering or remaining in the U.S. – in addition to anyone who endorses or espouses the activity of these groups. “There is no place in America for foreign adversaries or terrorist sympathizers. As our nation faces a disturbing rise in antisemitic and illegal alien terror attacks, along with increasing pro-Hamas sentiment on our college campuses,” Pfluger said in a statement. “We must take action to ensure our borders are secure from those wishing harm against Americans.” The bill comes after a wave of antisemitic attacks in light of Israel’s offensive campaign in Gaza that followed Hamas’ Oct. 7 attacks. TRUMP ADMIN CRACKS DOWN ON ANTISEMITISM AS DOJ OFFICIAL EXPOSES ‘VIOLENT RHETORIC’ OF RADICAL PROTESTERS The Trump administration has started revoking student visas of those who engage in pro-Gaza protest activity. The State Department paused new student visa interviews late last month while it restructures the vetting process. The Immigration and Nationality Act already bars individuals who engage in terrorist activity, are members of designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations or who provide material support to such groups. However, much of this is interpreted on a case-by-case basis, often requiring evidentiary thresholds such as proof of direct involvement or financial or material aid. It is subject to the whims of administrative designations. SUSPECT CHARGED WITH MURDERING ISRAELI EMBASSY STAFF COULD FACE DEATH PENALTY The Terrorist Inadmissibility Codification Act seeks to broaden these standards by codifying that mere endorsement or espousal of terrorist groups’ ideology could be grounds for inadmissibility or deportation. This could signal a shift from conduct-based immigration enforcement to speech- or association-based scrutiny: even those who are not formal members of foreign terrorist organizations could have their speech scrutinized for support of such groups. An attack in Boulder, Colorado, on June 1 on a group gathered to raise awareness about hostages gathered in Gaza was the latest in a string of violence believed to be antisemitic in nature. The suspect, Mohammed Sabry Soliman, told police he wanted to “kill all Zionist people” and is accused of throwing Molotov cocktails at demonstrators. In May, a young Washington, D.C., couple was killed outside the Capital Jewish Museum by a suspect who shouted “free Palestine” following the shooting.

‘Congress must act’: Nonprofit study exposes green energy org’s ties to CCP interests while undermining US
FIRST ON FOX: A national security-focused nonprofit organization has released a comprehensive report detailing the workings of a well-funded nominally U.S.-based organization that it says is undermining American energy, pushing left-wing green initiatives, and ultimately advancing Chinese interests. The report, published by State Armor, outlines the money trail of Energy Foundation China, registered as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that is technically headquartered in San Francisco but with employees mostly based in Beijing. “Energy Foundation China used to be known as the Energy Foundation before it spun off most of its U.S.-based operations in 2019 into a separate organization called the U.S. Energy Foundation,” the report explains. “While still formally organized as the Energy Foundation, since 2019, the organization has used the alias ‘Energy Foundation China’ or ‘EF China’ to differentiate from the now-separate U.S. Energy Foundation. The group was founded by Hal Harvey, a climate activist and entrepreneur with deep ties to numerous left-wing organizations and to China.” State Armor found that EFC has “spent millions each year to bankroll climate advocates who promote phasing out fossil fuels and implementing green energy alternatives like the Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) and Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), the latter of which was the target of a 2018 Congressional inquiry into whether it should register as a foreign agent based on its Chinese funding.” FORMER TOP HOCHUL AIDE’S UNEARTHED FAMILY CONNECTIONS TO CCP RAISES ALARM BELLS The Rocky Mountain Institute produced one of the most prominent studies used by many Democrats to justify cutting down on gas stoves and was cited by President Biden’s Department of Energy. Earlier this year, multiple committees joined to begin an investigation into EFC, and requested files from EFC President Zi Chou about financial resources given to American organizations after Fox News Digital reporting on the group funneling millions of dollars to fund climate initiatives and environmental groups in the U.S. The report details how EFC “led a U.S. state-level legislative drive” against Bayer, the leading Western fertilizer company, that pushed for lawsuits against the company over a potentially carcinogenic pesticide with the aim of driving the company out of the U.S. and in turn forcing reliance on Chinese suppliers. The report goes on to outline how the organization has “provided millions” to the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) to support “a clean energy future” and how ICCT was an “active supporter” of climate initiatives in the Inflation Reduction Act targeting increased battery electric trucking infrastructure. Fox News Digital reported in 2023 that The Energy Foundation sent $480,000 to the Washington, D.C.-based International Council on Clean Transportation, which advocates for widespread EV adoption and policies decarbonizing the transportation sector broadly. It also wired grants — one to the University of Maryland and another to the Jackson Hole Center for Global Affairs — worth a total of $450,000 and earmarked for projects to phase out coal power reliance. BOMBSHELL REPORT SUGGESTS ‘CHINESE SPIES’ INFILTRATING PRESTIGIOUS US UNIVERSITY: ‘WIDESPREAD CAMPAIGN’ Josh Hodges, Commissioner on the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission and former National Security Advisor to Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and NSC Senior Director in the first Trump Administration, told Fox News Digital that EFC is a “textbook example of the CCP’s asymmetric warfare strategy and drive to deepen its dominance over American companies.” “Communist China is manipulating a supposed philanthropic network to steer the U.S. away from reliable domestic energy sources and into dependence on Chinese supply chains,” Hodges said. “Whether it’s solar panels, mobile phones, electric vehicle batteries, or agricultural chemicals, Beijing’s fingerprints are all over the ‘green transition’ being pushed on America.” The report quotes Chinese climate envoy Liu Zhenmin who suggested that Biden’s green energy policies will remain even under a more skeptical Trump administration and said, “even if the new Trump administration reverses climate change policies, it is unlikely to completely change the green transition actions that have already begun in various parts of the U.S.” “In other words, the CCP’s penetration of the U.S.’ political and industrial systems runs so deep that CCP officials believe that not even a skeptical White House could halt America’s growing dependence upon Chinese technologies,” the report states. ‘COMING FOR US’: EXPERT SOUNDS ALARM ON CCP’S MISSION TO ‘KILL AMERICANS’ AFTER FBI MAKES SHOCKING ARRESTS Will Hild, Executive Director of Consumers’ Research told Fox News Digital that the report “exposes a disturbing truth” that EFC is part of a broader push to undermine American energy independence and “stifle” the Trump energy agenda to benefit the CCP. “EFC is weaponizing woke ideology to pull off this scheme and force American consumers to rely on the Chinese Communist Party for energy sources,” Hild said. “Americans deserve to know the truth about our foreign adversary’s campaign that is poisoning our economy and reshaping our energy future. We applaud organizations like State Armor that are working to expose these grifts against consumers.” In addition to the EFC’s climate activism, the report focuses on how, by “co-opting climate activism and dominating new so-called green supply chains, Beijing converts a domestic weakness into a global strength” while also detailing the ties between EFC and the CCP. For example, EFC’s CEO Zou Ji has served in previous roles at top leadership positions in China’s official National Center for Climate Change Strategy within the National Development and Reform Commission of the State Council. “He was so deeply tied into CCP leadership that he was included as a part of China’s delegation to the 2015 Paris Climate Talks,” the report says. “Zou’s other affiliations include a position at Tsinghua University at a center where his colleagues include a retired senior PLA officer and a former deputy director of an MSS think tank.” Zou is not the only EFC figure with ties to the CCP, the report says, pointing to EFC Board Member and Washington, D.C. based attorney Hongjun Zhang, who serves as a member of China’s Council for International Cooperation on Environment and Development and was previously a legislative director for the China National People’s Congress. Zhang, according
