Gavin Newsom roasts Donald Trump officials
California Governor Gavin Newsom posted a series of embarrassing photographs of the four primary people responsible for the nation’s security on his X account. This comes as concerns grow over a possible attack on American soil amidst the escalating conflict with Iran.
Newsom posted the four embarrassing photos with the caption, “The 4 people tasked with our nation’s security.” The photos featured Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, FBI Director Kash Patel, newly confirmed Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, and Thomas Fugate. The officials appointed Fugate to lead efforts related to domestic terrorism last year.
The photo of Hegseth showed him holding a bottle of champagne. There have been past allegations about Hegseth’s drinking habits. Some former colleagues have reportedly claimed that they smelled alcohol on him. Hegseth has denied these allegations.
Newsom posted a similar photo of Kash Patel, who is seen drinking beer with the USA Hockey team after their win at the Olympics. Patel reportedly faced criticism after allegations that he used a taxpayer-funded plane to attend the celebration.
For Mullin, Newsom shared a photo from the Capitol attack. In it, he was seen assisting officers in barricading the House doors. He later repeated claims made by Trump that critics have described as false.
In the final slide, Newsom posted a photo of Fugate. They had appointed Fugate to lead the Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships by Kristi Noem. The image showed Fugate posing with a raised eyebrow. Reports noted that he did not have prior experience in the field. Moreover, he had previously worked as a gardener and grocery store clerk before his appointment.
Many users responded to Newsom’s post, with some supporting his remarks and others criticizing them. Meanwhile, concerns continue about a possible attack on the United States amid the ongoing conflict with Iran.
