NEW AD Trolls Newsom’s ‘Keyboard Warrior Strategy,’ Says the Gov is ‘Embarrassing California’
Californians need a Governor, not an Influencer
By Katy Grimes, August 22, 2025 7:04 am
The California Business and Industry Alliance ran an ad in USA Today Thursday calling out California Governor Gavin Newsom for his “clout-chasing” social media strategy, and said it is “embarrassing California.”
“California has real problems: Businesses are struggling, families can’t afford to live here, and destroyed homes still haven’t been rebuilt,” CABIA says. “Californians need a Governor, not an Influencer.”
The ad reacts to the Governor’s ongoing social media frenzy and shows Newsom sporting a clown costume, holding up a smartphone, and features a mock X post saying “Gavin, your tweets are embarrassing California. Stop acting like a #CLOWN.”
The ad says:
California has real problems: Businesses are struggling; families can’t afford to live here; destroyed homes still haven’t been rebuilt; unions and trial lawyers are ruining the state’s reputation. Rather than solving these problems, our Governor is wasting time on social media and bringing shame on our state. It’s time for Gavin
to get offline and get back to work.
“It’s time for Gavin to get offline and get back to work.”
The USA Today ad cites California’s numerous struggles, including the rising cost of living, destroyed homes from the recent devastating fires, and out of control trial lawyers targeting the state’s businesses.
Tom Manzo, president and founder of CABIA explains:
“Newsom’s behavior is an embarrassment to California. Instead of clowning around on social media, he should prioritize the very real concerns of his constituents. Under his watch, our state has become an even worse place to live and do business. Californians need a Governor, not an Influencer.”
CABIA also created a “gaslighting tracker noting Newsom’s subtle to blatantly false statements:”
Gavin Newsom is gaslighting the people of California. But his polished media appearances and tailored tweets can’t hide the harsh reality: His misguided policies are hurting residents, workers, and businesses across the Golden State.
Our Gaslight Tracker rates the accuracy behind Newsom’s statements on issues ranging from homelessness to minimum wage hikes. It will be updated periodically to give California residents a real-time look into Gavin’s latest attempts at gaslighting his constituents.
The ad–which ran yesterday–is the latest from the California Business and Industrial Alliance (CABIA). CABIA’s previous ads have garnered national attention, including a mock obutiary calling out the job losses due California’s $20 fast food wage law.

RNDC present owner of Youngs Market company is leaving California.
Retailers are scrambling and the prices will certainly rise.
Mark up another one for the burgeoning bureaucracy created by the super majority.
Just remember this California bureaucracy are Gavin’s cheerleaders.
YES. And the slimy morass of bureaucrats and unions and others with their hands out are his ONLY SUPPORTERS. Sure it’s lot of people, but only a small percentage of Californians. As with the state’s criminals who have been given a free pass (not accidentally by this state’s “leadership,”) it really only takes a small percentage to create a chaotic hellscape. We saw that with our own eyes when Three Strikes was effectively operant in this state.
Great ad from CABIA, by the way. BULLSEYE.
That ad is right on the money. The entire Democratic Party is an embarrassment to California.
Everyone please be SURE not to miss the “Gavin Gaslighting Tracker” (linked by Katy above and repeated for emphasis here):

SOOOO good. Useful and practical as well as entertaining!
Sure beats the California Ringling Brothers Three-Ring Circus we have been enduring for way too long.
CABIA did an excellent job here.
More, please!
I love it. This is the perfect way to get to a narcissist like Newscum. Expect increasingly unhinged behavior from Newscum in the coming days.
He is revealing who he really is.
Yup.
Definitely.
Meanwhile, in Porterville, a giant electronic billboard that asks “Is it Gavin or Butthead?”

Here’s a favorite —- the hair-trigger-tempered Gavin as SF Mayor. Nothing’s changed; he did he same thing when reporter Ashley Zavala was earnestly asking questions. Posted by TJ below.

Love this one too. Another session of snarks, condescension, and tantrums from Gavin as SF Mayor:
“Gavin as SF Mayor sits down with reporter Hank Plante”

Gavin Newscum is a lying,cheating, crooked, slimy rat snake-oil salesman. Never believe a word that comes out of that douche-bags mouth.
Yo, CABIA, our Governor is doing everything in his power to fight Trump and Texas’s blatant redistricting corruption. Governor Newsom is giving Trump a dose of his own medicine and it’s hilarious – go Gavin! If the White House can waste time and money posting cringey crap, we can do it much much better.
Wake up, Republican reptile-brains – Trump wants to rule by force – he salivates over using troops on us, because we all despise him.
I can already hear the whiners on this site saying ‘Gee – can you PROVE he’s a dictator? Give us EXAMPLES’
I’d rather not wait for Adolf…sorry, Donald, to declare himself Supreme Leader before doing something about it.
The rest of you can float all the way off.
Time for the patriots to start exterminating Demoncrats in Commiefornia
Cam, you make a very compelling argument as to why MAGA should be redistricted out of existence.
If I were you, Robert, I wouldn’t make threatening and incendiary comments under the name of “Cam” and then answer yourself. It might not end well.
Hunh? I didn’t do any of that, but thank you for your attention to this matter.
No doubt Hair-gel-Hitler Newsom’s “clout-chasing” social media strategy is being conducted by the bitchy alphabet rainbow queens on his rapid response media team and he has nothing to do with it?
It must be difficult for Newsom’s team (or any thinking person) to lower themselves to Trump’s below-the-bottom-of-the-barrel level, but they have been doing a fantastic job of mocking Mango Mussolini’s idiotic ego-obsessed ‘style’. Once again, the irony of you people complaining about what Newsom is doing, when the American people have suffered through what seems like centuries of Trump’s shrill and infantile insults and brainless babbling, seems to be completely lost on the maga minions.
Let’s be honest – even his own Vice-President wants him gone.
It looks like one of Hair-gel Hitler Newsom’s bitchy rapid response queens is triggered?
Gavin Newsom can’t answer a question on his redistricting scheme and looks like he’s crying on camera after President Trump trashes him.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNHLBh7Z3Ro
YES. That’s what it looks like. And it’s not a good look. I wonder if they are they sabotaging him?
Please note my response was to TJ.
“it’s not a good look” – it’s a spot-on parody of the swill being shoveled out by the White House.
Is the concept of parody lost on you folks?
Please watch South Park for a refresher.
Hair-gel Hitler Newsom’s bitchy rapid response queen Robert is working the late night swing shift desperately and unsuccessfully trying to prop up their dyslexic dimwit leader. How pathetic is Robert who would starve without taxpayers supporting him?
I’m living off my Dad – same way Trump started out.
But I haven’t gone bankrupt yet!
Whatever, bitchy rapid response queen. The only time we ever see you post your drivel here is when Hair-gel Hitler Newsom is the subject of an article. If anyone is a moocher, it’s Newsom who was groomed and set up with Getty oil money and now mooches off hard working taxpayers. Even his Weinstein trollop wife Jennifer is in on the grifting of taxpayers. She produces “gender justice” porno movies and sells them to the state public education system through her non-profit, The Representation Project. What a sleazy pair of moochers they are.

Gavin Newsom is the absolute worst governor of California, bar none! However, the actual fault for his lousy leadership is not his. The fault lies with the people who elected him, Californians themselves. Californians, knowing full well how incompetent he is, elected him in the First place, and kept him after a Recall effort. They also recently elected Karen Bass, another equally incompetent as LA’s mayor. So, that tells One it was no fluke. Californians have demonstrated time, and time again that they prefer politicians of limited intelligence, and capabilities that look good, over people of higher intellect or competency. Politicians who aren’t as slick as the likes of Gavin Newsom get passed over by shallow minded voters. Unfortunately, the boorish, and shallow minded influencer culture is the future, and Gavin Newsom fits perfectly into that boorish, and shallow minded future we all must eventually face.
Hold on, Brother John, just which politicians possess ‘higher intellect or competency’ in your humble opinion?
If we are headed in to a “boorish, and shallow minded future”, as you so compellingly suggest, surely the current Republican party is setting the bar as low as it’s ever been, right? Governor Newsom may be a fool in a race for the bottom, but he is only trying to take on Trump where he lives – in the toilet. He can’t sink any lower than Trump (we hope!)
If you are suggesting the Republican party is a more appealing alternative than the Democrats…you’re stoned.
I think we are being trolled by Newscums latest spokes idiot Izzy.
Yes, no doubt. All the identifiers are there, like a fingerprint: The ham-handed comedy attempts with no clue of missing the mark, the nastiness, the arrogance, the over-posting that reminds us of an attention-starved 12 year old, and the clumsy use as centerpiece of a mythical Trump as seen by the delusional Trump-haters but not the real person. I could go on but I’ve already wasted enough time on this Gavin hanger-on.
I’m flattered you wasted so much of your precious time putting me in my place. I hope you still have enough time to scowl at your neighbors as they walk by with their dogs – just don’t shoot them, like Kristi.
I’m not arrogant, but lordy, you sure make it hard not to feel somewhat superior.
Please, Showandtell, tell us what the REAL Trump is like – hundreds of millions of people around the world hate his guts, but they are all wrong about the guy, according to you. I eagerly await enlightenment – when you’re not too busy stepping on flowers, of course.
Wow, how folk complicate issues.
It is simple; either DJT sues ABC News for libel or resign.
According to ABC News, DJT was a regular on the Lolita Express.
Showandtell surely agrees; DJTs affiliation with Epstein is an immediate disqualifier for POTUS.
Being the sexually depraved Democrats that they are, Newsom’s bitchy rapid response queens are making lies up in a desperate attempt to deflect from the criminal activities of Hair-gel Hitler Newsom and his Democrat thugs. One can only imagine the evil satanic rituals involving children and animals that they’re engaged in?
They’ll fight to the death to keep California an open border sanctuary state because the flow of drugs, human trafficking, and money laundering is very profitable for them. If anyone needs resign and be held accountable for a multitude of crimes, it’s Hair-gel Hitler Newsom.

It was Democrat Bill Clinton who was a regular on Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet, the “Lolita Express,” flying at least 26 times according to flight logs which took him to various international destinations. During one of these trips in 2002, which also included disgraced actors Kevin Spacey and Chris Tucker, photographs emerged showing Clinton on the plane with Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell and massage therapist Chauntae Davies, who later alleged she was sexually abused by Epstein.
Democrats are sexual deviants and perverts.
Jennifer Siebel Newsom, a failed B actress who is Hair-gel Hitler Newsom’s “First Partner”, contacted Harvey Weinstein in 2007 to seek advice on handling negative press surrounding an affair that Gavin Newsom had admitted to having with his campaign manager’s wife. This email exchange occurred two years after Siebel Newsom alleged that Weinstein raped her in 2005. In the email, she reached out to Weinstein, asking for guidance regarding media coverage of the scandal involving Gavin Newsom. Weinstein’s defense team argued that her decision to contact him for advice indicated an ongoing friendly relationship, which they used to support their claim that any interaction between them was consensual rather than assaultive.
Oops? It’s no wonder that she’s known as Weinstein’s trollop?
Actress Rose McGowan alleged that Jennifer Siebel Newsom attempted to silence her from going public with allegations against Harvey Weinstein. McGowan claimed that approximately six months before the 2017 New York Times exposé on Weinstein, Jennifer Siebel Newsom cold-called her and set up a meeting in Brentwood, California. During the call, McGowan stated she was asked, on behalf of David Boies—Weinstein’s attorney—what it would take to “make her happy,” which she interpreted as an attempt to bribe her into silence.

Don’t forget Barry Obama! it is alleged his fettish’s are of an undefined dimension and was very active within Epstein’s den.
Pedo Island apparently the secret playground for numerous Dems and Repubs alike.
Plural for fetish? Like fish,???
Did you even bother to read what Katy Grimes wrote? Obviously not. It was about the California Business and Industry Alliance calling out Newsom for his “clout-chasing” social media strategy, and said it is “embarrassing California.” Hijacking the comment section is a common tactic used by Hair-gel Hitler Newsom’s bitchy queens.
Why should I read it when its just some AI generated gloop from Grok?
I did check out CABIA – it’s phony. They claim to be working to address the ‘hostile business climate’ in California, but they are the ones dripping with hostility. They aren’t even based in California, so who cares what they think?
Really ToJo, take a walk, or a nap, or get some therapy, or at least see some new movies. Your schtick is sooo tired.
Looks like Hair-gel Hitler Newsom’s bitchy queen who is posting as Robert G. Martinengo is also posting as Zzyzx. He’s just as much of a dimwit as Newsom is.
They’re ALL alike. All alike in their rotted insides but with different faces. All dimwits who only strive to be annoying. Now THERE’S a goal worth pursuing! If trolling is their job they need to find a new one because they are clearly not good at it. But keep doing it, trolls. Enjoying yourselves. You’re not helping Newsom but in revealing your idiocy and you are definitely helping those who oppose him.
Nope, I’m not ‘Zzyzx’, but if they are annoying you, they are on the side of the angels.
The apparent unraveling of the preceding verbage indicates Showandtell and TJ are cool with pedophillia.
And other proclivities you folks want to reveal; here’s you chance.
Wow, it is what it is.
You and the rest of Newsom’s bitchy queens are failing miserably in your attempts to deflect for him. Let’s talk about the perverse proclivities of your leader Gavin Newsom and his Weinstein trollop “First Partner” along with the rest of the criminal Democrat thug mafia that controls this state who’ve allowed human trafficking to get at crisis levels and the horrific exploitation of children that goes with it under the guise of California being a “sanctuary state.” Newsom and his criminal Democrat cronies need to be hauled before tribunals and be held accountable for their many crimes.
No doubt you and your bitchy queen boyfriend Robert G. Martinengo are all about diddling kids when you’re not trying to deflect for your dimwit leader Hair-gel Hitler Newsom. Now git!
Hey Tia Juana, we have something in common – we both dislike you.
Btw, TDS means Trump Dies Soon!
