Gutfeld: Newsom's 2028 Hopes Dim Amidst Democratic 'Gaslighting' on Riots

Democratic 'Gaslighting' on Riots

• 💡 Democrats are accused of 'gaslighting' the public regarding the Los Angeles riots, with figures like Maxine Waters denying the extent of violence.
• ⚠️ Pelosi's comparison of January 6th to the LA riots is called out, with the claim that she held back the National Guard to increase chaos.
• 🤡 The panel mocks the Democratic stance that law enforcement action is inherently authoritarian, suggesting their party is shrinking to include only fringe groups.

Shifting Immigrant Voter Demographics

• 📈 Immigrant voters have shown a significant shift to the right, moving from a 32-point Democratic lead in 2020 to an 8-point Republican lead in 2024/2025.
• 🔑 This shift is attributed to immigrants who have waited their turn feeling disenfranchised by those perceived to be cutting the line.
• 🗣️ Unlike the left, immigrants are described as not shouting their beliefs constantly, leading to a disconnect when their views are not affirmed by the silence of others.

Lawlessness vs. Order

• 💥 The riots are characterized not as a protest against authoritarianism, but as a protest against order, leading to chaos and destruction.
• ⚖️ The argument is made that responding to riots does not escalate them; rather, not responding leads to prolonged lawlessness.
• 🏛️ The Democratic party is framed as the party of disorder, having lost basic principles due to 'wokeism'.

Political Ramifications for 2028

• 🔥 Gavin Newsom's hopes for a 2028 presidential run are seen as 'going up in flames' due to the perceived failures in handling riots and shifting political landscapes.
• 🇺🇸 Trump is presented as a leader who supports law enforcement, contrasting with the Democratic approach.
• 🎯 The new administration is expected to enforce laws and prosecute those involved in riots, providing a deterrent effect.

International Perspectives on Immigration

• 🌍 The panel notes that other countries like England, Germany, and France are not criticizing Trump's immigration policies because they face similar issues and desire such options.
• 🛂 The current asylum laws and international agreements are criticized for allowing individuals to enter and remain in the country, contributing to the current problems.
