FIRST ON FOX: California Republicans slammed Governor Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, for trying to “intimidate” judges into “compliance” with his agenda as well as highlighting the preferential media treatment he receives.
Rep. Kevin Kiley, R-Calif., blasted Newsom in a statement to Fox News Digital for pressuring judges that do not fall in line with his agenda.
“Gavin Newsom has repeatedly shown a disdain for the separation of powers that is central to our constitutional form of government,” Kiley said.

“He used the COVID state of emergency to rule the state by decree and impose the most radical lockdowns and mandates in the country,” Kiley continued. “And he has repeatedly attacked judges who do not toe his line, often in personal and unhinged terms, in an attempt to intimidate them into compliance.”
Kiley added that any “elected official who cares about the rule of law should condemn Newsom’s irresponsible behavior.”
The California Republican also criticized Newsom for his “hypocrisy” surrounding his many scandals and contradicting policy points to his personal life.
“Additionally, whether through ignoring his own lockdown mandates and dining at the French Laundry or sending his kids to private school while opposing school choice, Gavin Newsom’s hypocrisy knows no bounds,” Kiley said.
