California Governor Gavin Newsom just got caught red-handed in one of the oldest political blunders: calling President Trump a liar, only to be exposed by cold, hard receipts. It’s the kind of facepalm moment you’d expect from a floundering bureaucrat who’s more concerned with posting snark on X than doing his actual job—like, say, protecting Californians from violent mobs burning down Los Angeles.
While President Trump was deploying the National Guard to restore order and defend law enforcement, Newsom was busy playing social media influencer—taking potshots at the Commander-in-Chief instead of leading. The chaos in L.A. got so bad, Trump publicly said Newsom should be arrested for dereliction of duty. And frankly, after what happened Tuesday, that’s looking more like a rational suggestion than hyperbole.
Here’s how it unfolded: a reporter asked President Trump in the Oval Office when he last spoke with Governor Newsom. Trump didn’t hesitate. “A day ago,” he said. “Called him up to tell him, got to do a better job, he’s doing a bad job. Causing a lot of death and potential death.”
He added, “If we didn’t send out the National Guard… Los Angeles would be burning right now.”
That might’ve been the end of it—until Newsom jumped on X and called the President a liar. “There was no call, not even a voicemail,” Newsom claimed. He even threw in some melodrama, saying Americans should be “alarmed” that Trump didn’t know who he was talking to while “deploying Marines onto our streets.” Never mind that Marines weren’t deployed yet, but when has Gavin ever let facts get in the way of a good tantrum?
Well, President Trump doesn’t play coy when someone questions his integrity. From Air Force One, he contacted Fox News anchor John Roberts and dropped the bomb: Trump said Newsom didn’t pick up the first call—but did answer the second. They spoke for 16 minutes. Trump told him to “get his ass in gear” and stop the riots.
And guess what? Roberts then shared the call log, confirming the conversation took place.
So let’s get this straight: Newsom said no call happened. Trump not only proved there was a call, but has the timestamps to back it up.
Who’s the liar now? Certainly not the President.
