Newsom has had a rough go of it lately, so it appears he sent for reinforcements. Bernie Sanders and AOC just held a rally in my district. After declining my offer to debate, they attacked me at length from the comfort of their teleprompter. “Tell Kevin Kiley, hell no!” AOC bellowed.
You can watch both socialists rant against me, along with my response to their deranged accusations, in this Fox clip. In short, California is a real-world Bernie/AOC test case: Their radical policies have been tried by Newsom, and have failed spectacularly.
Yet Newsom, of course, is now trying to blame Trump for all his own failures. His latest stunt is a lawsuit to defend the “separation of powers.” Somehow, Newsom was less concerned about this principle when he made himself an autocrat during the 3-year COVID State of Emergency.
As I noted on News Nation, Newsom feigning concern about “costs” for Californians is the height of hypocrisy. For instance, California already has the highest gas prices in the nation; now, two refineries just announced they’re shutting down thanks to Newsom’s insane energy policies.
As another example, I pointed out California is spending more than twice as much to give Medicaid to each illegal immigrant as the state spends on our legal residents. That's why Newsom just had to ask the Legislature for a bailout. He is literally bankrupting the program.
And then, of course, there is High Speed Rail. The good news is the FBI has acknowledged receiving my request for an investigation. The information in my letter has been provided to the relevant FBI division for "appropriate action." We may finally see some accountability.
Meanwhile, of 7,000 homes damaged in the recent fires, LA has issued exactly 4 permits to rebuild. As I told Fox Business, the victims are being punished all over again for the city and state's catastrophic incompetence.
