California First Lady Jennifer Siebel Newsom just delivered a masterclass in leftist hypocrisy, unleashing her inner Karen on female reporters while preaching about women's empowerment. The cringe-worthy meltdown was so bad that even her husband, Governor Gavin Newsom, appeared visibly uncomfortable as his wife went full AWFL (Affluent White Female Liberal) on working journalists.
The incident perfectly encapsulates everything wrong with California's ruling class – sanctimonious elites who preach tolerance while treating ordinary Americans like garbage. Here's a woman who built her career on feminist activism, literally attacking other women for doing their jobs.
What makes this even more pathetic is watching Gavin's face as his wife imploded in public. The man who thinks he's presidential material couldn't even control the situation unfolding right next to him. If he can't handle his own wife's public tantrums, how exactly does he plan to handle foreign dictators or domestic crises?
"Few things are more annoying in life than a sanctimonious AWFL, and that goes double when that AWFL happens to be the hypocritical wife of the governor of America's most populous state," noted RedState.
This is exactly the kind of elitist behavior that drove Americans to overwhelmingly reject the Democratic Party in 2024. While President Trump treats all media fairly – even those who attack him relentlessly – California's First Lady can't handle basic questions from female reporters without having a public meltdown.
The hypocrisy is staggering. These are the same people who lecture us about treating women with respect, about empowering female voices, about creating inclusive spaces. Yet when push comes to shove, Jennifer Newsom's true colors shine through – she's just another privileged liberal who thinks her status puts her above accountability.
California families are struggling with sky-high costs, rampant homelessness, and rising crime rates. Instead of addressing these real issues, the Newsoms are too busy having public temper tantrums and embarrassing themselves on the national stage.
Patriots, this is exactly why we need leaders like President Trump who respect working Americans – including working journalists – regardless of political differences. The California elite's mask continues to slip, and it's not pretty.
