Gavin Newsom Lays Into Hannity, ‘Pravda Fox’ on Stephen Colbert Show: ‘Offended, Disgusted Because We Put a Mirror Up to Trump’

California Gov. Gavin Newsom laid into “Pravda” Fox News during an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Tuesday.

“I never imagined it would break through like it has and get under the skin of the president of the United States,” said Newsom after being asked about his recent social media posts parodying President Donald Trump. “And some of my friends on, you know, Pravda, Fox.”

Host Stephen Colbert replied, “Matter of fact, here we are. I think this is Dana Perino. She’s not too thrilled with you.”

Colbert then played a clip of Perino criticizing Newsom’s tweets and saying, “I don’t know where his wife is. If I were his wife, I would say, ‘You are making a fool of yourself, stop it!’ Do not let your staff tweet, and if you are doing it yourself, put the phone away and start over.”

“She’s a very smart person. She has to have some sense of the irony of that critique,” reacted Colbert.

Newsom responded, “Yeah, but it wasn’t even Dana. It was Hannity, all these guys outraged, offended, disgusted because we put a mirror up to Trump and the absurdity of what’s going on in this country. The absurdity of Donald Trump. The absurdity of these networks playing into it.”
