Stephen Miller insulted a California judge for blocking racial immigration arrests, prompting an aggressive response from Gavin Newsom's office. Newsom's post described Miller as a "fascist" undermining democracy and the Constitution. This incident signifies a shift from the traditional Democratic approach of civility to a more confrontational stance. Newsom has adopted a strategy that includes posting provocative memes, showcasing a new level of aggression in political discourse from the left, moving away from Michelle Obama's "go high" philosophy.
The MAGA-embraced epithet from Gov. Gavin Newsom's official press office in response, however, was hardly typical for a Democratic politician. "This fascist cuck in DC continues his assault on democracy and the Constitution, and his attempt to replace the sovereignty of the people with autocracy," the California governor's office posted on social media.
The low blow sanctioned by a potential 2028 presidential candidate set a new paradigm for the political left that has long embraced Michelle Obama's "when they go low, we go high" motto to rise above the callousness of Trump and his acolytes.
It's also an example of Newsom's more aggressive social media strategy. This week the governor posted memes of Trump with child molester and accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
Though you do not deserve politeness in this moment for this grotesque tweet, you bald little man," retorted Newsom's communications director, Izzy Gardon.
