Newsom’s Venezuela Love Affair Backfires Hilariously

Governor Hair Gel’s socialist crush gets a reality check.

In a shocking display of tone-deaf admiration, California’s own Governor Gavin Newsom has been caught fawning over Venezuela’s latest “amnesty” stunt, where over 1,500 political prisoners are begging for mercy under a new law from a regime that makes bread lines look like a Michelin-starred buffet. Newsom, who can’t resist a good authoritarian photo-op, praised the move as “a step toward justice” during a recent press conference, conveniently ignoring that these prisoners are only in cages because they dared to disagree with a dictator. Hey, Gav, if locking up dissenters is justice, why don’t you start with your own critics in Sacramento?

This is the same slick-haired hypocrite who’s spent years preaching “compassion” while his state’s homeless population explodes and businesses flee faster than rats from a sinking ship. Newsom’s love for Venezuela’s socialist utopia isn’t new...he’s been drooling over their policies since his San Francisco mayor days, back when he thought “Bolivarian Revolution” was a trendy cocktail. Yet, while he cheers Maduro’s “amnesty” PR stunt...where only 379 of 1,550 applicants were freed, mind you...he’s got no problem pushing punitive taxes and regulations that crush California’s middle class. Rules for thee, comrade, but not for me.

And let’s not forget his Democrat cheerleaders, like Kamala Harris, who’s stayed suspiciously silent on Venezuela’s human rights dumpster fire after years of pretending to care about “global freedom.” Or AOC, who once called socialist policies “moral,” but now dodges questions about Maduro’s gulags like they’re student loan bills. Newsom and his progressive posse want to import this disaster to America, turning the land of the free into a land of long lines and longer jail sentences. Sorry, slick, but we’re not buying your utopia...or your overpriced hair gel. Shut your suck hole, Gavin Newsom, and stop pretending tyranny is a tourist destination.

Takeaway:
Newsom’s Venezuela fanboy act deserves a one-way ticket to Caracas.
