Newsom Defends Trolling Trump When Confronted By NBC's Welker: I Put a Mirror' Up to His Madness'
"Quite the contrary, Newsom responded. The whole expression was to not allow it to be normalized. It was becoming normalized. All this the normalization of deviancy across the spectrum of issues. But his communication he's dressing up as the Pope, as Superman. He'sputting his face on Mt. RushmoreIt's madness. And so I put a mirror up to that madness."
"The rules of the game have changed. Now we have to rewrite the new rules. I'm trying to iterate, I'm in the process of doing that. But Michelle Obama also was interviewed about that comment, about going high is also going strategic, meaning, finding strategies to address concerns and anxieties. So, she's evolved on her own foundational principles, but it's the right one. We're all better off. We're all better off. This can't continue forever."
Governor Gavin Newsom defended his use of Trump-style online posts and memes as a tactic to prevent such behavior from becoming normalized. He described Trump's images and posts—dressing as the Pope or Superman and placing his face on Mount Rushmore—as madness and said he was holding up a mirror to that madness. Newsom said political communication has changed and that Democrats must rewrite the rules and adapt strategies. He referenced Michelle Obama's idea that "going high" can also mean being strategic to address voter anxieties and urged preparing for continued challenges over the next years.
