During a discussion with MSNBC's Jen Psaki Gavin Newsom was asked about Donald Trump's nickname for him and he described the former President as a child.
As the Governor of the largest state in America, Newsom is one of the most prominent Democrats in the country and has been a strong surrogate for the Harris campaign. This puts him in the crosshairs of Donald Trump.
Trump has attacked the California Republican in the same way that he attacks all of his opponents, with stupid nicknames. The former President will often refer to as Newscum, which lacks any kind of creativity. Psaki asked him about the moniker this weekend and Newsom responded:
"It’s very familiar to me — I think it was a seventh or eighth grader that called me Newscum. Now it’s a 78-year-old. You know, maybe you could describe him also as a man-child of sorts. I mean, it’s really, this is — what an embarrassment."
Newsome also noted that talking like this about people you disagree with isn't just bad politics, it's also just poor manners. He continued, “I don’t talk down to people — past people, people who support me, people who don’t support me. That’s the American thing to do. It’s about community."
