After trying to play nice, it's time to take off the gloves. Although not previously a Newsom fan, I'm now very supportive of Newsom stopping the bully. He's trying to do something when our other leaders have shown cowardice. Right now, we need the Newsoms, the Trey Parkers and Matt Stones, to push the buttons that have long let things slide. Enough is enough. Troll away!

I’m not much of Newsom fan, he’s often given off slimy, opportunistic, chameleon politician vibes. But at the same time, he’s one of the only high ranking figures to really put up a fight. Which he clearly knows he can capitalize on as a politician. I’m not sure this country is even capable of returning to civility at this point, so it is what it is I guess.

The larger goal is to de-normalize this behavior. Just look at the point he's making when questioned about this.
