In a recent Fox News appearance, Vivek Ramaswamy compared California Governor Gavin Newsom to former segregationist George Wallace, citing striking similarities in their political behavior. Ramaswamy suggested both figures resist federal authority—Wallace during desegregation and Newsom regarding immigration policies. He argued that these actions are part of a broader strategy employed by Democratic governors, fostering radical support while pursuing presidential ambitions. Ramaswamy concluded that he believes Newsom's political future will end similarly to Wallace's, suggesting a historical downfall.
I know Gavin Newsom. I actually happen to like him as a person. The reality is he's not gonna like what I have to say on this, which is that his behavior is starting to resemble that of another Democratic governor from U.S. history by the name of George Wallace, who was the governor of Alabama, who famously stood in the way of federal desegregation, and in 1963, President John F. Kennedy had to deploy the National Guard of Alabama just like President Trump is doing today. And I know that's counterintuitive to some people, but the parallels are actually pretty striking if you think about it.
Democrat governors. When you look at George Wallace, he resisted desegregation. Gavin Newsom is resisting deportations. George Wallace wanted segregated cities, Gavin Newsom wants sanctuary cities. George Wallace stood in the school door, blocking the way. Gavin Newsom is blocking the ICE vans.
It's the same Democrat governor playbook. You dodge the feds, you rally the radicals, and most importantly of all, you do it in front of the cameras, because what they were both doing is really carving their Democratic primary path for their presidential ambitions.
And Jesse, you can mark my words on this one, Gavin Newsom's presidential ambitions are gonna end in the same place that George Wallace's did: in the dustbins of history where it belongs. That's just the truth.
