"Gavin Newsom has launched a scathing attack on European leaders this morning in Davos as he branded them "pathetic" for just "rolling over" when dealing with Donald Trump. The California governor, throwing red meat to the anti-Trump base at home, said it was time for leaders to stand up to Trump and branded their deference to him thus far as "embarrassing"."
""It's time to buck up. It's time to get serious and stop being complicit. It's time to stand tall, firm, have a backbone," he told Sky News. "I can't take this complicity, people rolling over. I should have brought a bunch of kneepads for all the world leaders. I mean, handing out crowns and Nobel prizes, they're being given away. It's just pathetic. And I hope people understand how pathetic they look on the world stage... It's embarrassing.""
