This week, Gavin Newsom made headlines again today… not for bold leadership, but for funny soundbites and eye rolls, and his answers didn’t make sense. He had a smile, like a duper’s delight, Theatrical. In a widely circulated interview clip, Newsom declared:

“There’s nothing I dislike more than a politician that sits there and lies to you.”

But actions speak louder than practiced in the mirror, lines.

While Newsom paints himself as a progressive firewall .. a sanctuary state savior, a defender of the marginalized ..ICE is quietly conducting enforcement operations right in California. Over 300 people were arrested in raids across agricultural communities in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties. These are not fringe incidents. They are coordinated efforts happening under his watch under his supposedly protective governance.

My latest cartoon confronts his hypocrisy head-on.

On the left: Newsom’s glowing face rolls its eyes upward, as if too bored or too polished to acknowledge the chaos behind him. He has green eyes. On the right: A makeshift crowd of betrayed migrants, masked Antifa activists, and disillusioned leftists. One woman .. a symbol of those caught in the crossfire of broken promises..He made the world promises. Come to California and you will have my protection. She pleads:

“You promise us Papi… Soon, ICE is here? What happen to the citizenship?”

Even Antifa ..once an asset to his progressive optics .. holds a burning flag labeled “ACAB” and shouts back:

“Sellout! Gavin Newsom, you lied to us too!”
