Trump Allies Shocked By Newsom

California Governor Gavin Newsom is facing massive backlash after his press office posted what many are calling a direct threat against Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

The heated exchange came just hours after Newsom signed a controversial new law designed to protect illegal immigrants from deportation. This move has angered conservatives nationwide, especially as communities across California have been rocked by violent protests and unrest tied to immigration enforcement.

The Tweet That Sparked a Firestorm

During a Saturday press conference, Newsom attacked Secretary Noem, saying her approach to border security was “in complete contrast” to his own policies.

Moments later, his official press account on X (formerly Twitter) posted a shocking message:

“Kristi Noem is going to have a bad day today. You’re welcome, America.”

The provocative remark quickly went viral — and the blowback was immediate.

DHS Fires Back: ‘This Reads Like a Threat’

Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin immediately condemned the post, calling it both dangerous and inappropriate.

“This reads like a threat. This is ugly, @GavinNewsom,” she tweeted, accusing Newsom’s team of being a group of “keyboard warriors” who hide behind their screens instead of facing people directly.

McLaughlin’s comments reflect growing frustration among Trump administration officials over what they see as escalating rhetoric and hostility from California’s governor.

White House Condemns the Governor

White House Communications Director Steven Cheung blasted the tweet, pointing out its insensitive timing. The message was posted during Memorial Weekend, when the nation is mourning the recent assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, a close ally of President Trump.

“Issuing a threat like this while our nation is in mourning is absolutely shameful,” Cheung stated. “This is the kind of chaos you get when Gavin Newsom hands over his social media to unhinged left-wing extremists.”

Secret Service Gets Involved

The controversy took an even more serious turn when Bill Essayli, Acting U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California, announced that he has formally referred the tweet to the Secret Service.

“We have zero tolerance for direct or implied threats against government officials,” Essayli stated.
“I’ve requested a full threat assessment to determine whether this message constitutes a danger to Secretary Noem or others.”

This move underscores how seriously federal authorities are taking the matter.

Republicans Demand Calm, Newsom Doubles Down

Even GOP presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy weighed in, urging Newsom to tone down his rhetoric.

“This isn’t what America needs right now, @GavinNewsom,” Ramaswamy tweeted.
“Come on, man. Do better.”

But instead of backing down, Newsom mocked his critics, posting a snarky response using a popular SpongeBob meme font:

“tHiS ReAdS LiKe a tHrEaT.”

The sarcastic reply fueled even more outrage, with many accusing Newsom of deliberately trying to provoke conservatives.

Longstanding Feud With President Trump

This latest clash is part of an ongoing feud between Newsom and President Trump. Earlier this year, Trump deployed hundreds of National Guard troops and Marines to Los Angeles to restore order amid surging violence — a move Newsom opposed.

Since then, the California governor has sued the Trump administration and launched a series of personal attacks on the President through social media.

Many political analysts believe Newsom’s strategy is aimed at positioning himself as a 2028 Democratic presidential contender, using fiery rhetoric to build his national profile.

Rising Political Tensions After Charlie Kirk Assassination

The uproar comes at a dangerous moment for America. Conservative activist Charlie Kirk, one of Trump’s closest allies, was assassinated during a speaking event in Utah just days ago.

His murder has sparked urgent calls for leaders on both sides to reduce inflammatory language and reject political violence.
Yet, critics argue that Newsom’s tweet has done the opposite, pouring gasoline on an already raging fire.

America at a Crossroads

With the nation mourning Charlie Kirk and tensions running high, many conservatives see Newsom’s behavior as reckless and divisive.

Instead of focusing on unity and healing, they argue, Newsom is escalating the conflict, targeting members of President Trump’s administration and undermining efforts to keep the country safe.

As federal investigators review the governor’s tweet, Americans are left wondering: How much more political violence will it take before leaders start putting the country first?

Why This Matters:

• Threats against public officials are being taken more seriously than ever.
• Immigration and border security remain hot-button issues for millions of voters.
• The future of America’s political stability may depend on how leaders choose to act — or escalate — in the weeks ahead.
