BREAKING: Dana Perino Melts Down Over Gavin Newsom’s Hilarious Social Media Trolling — Fox Furious as California Governor Roasts Republicans

Fox News host Dana Perino erupted live on air over what she called California Governor Gavin Newsom’s “not funny” trolling, insisting Republicans “get the joke” but are clearly struggling to cope with it. The viral X posts from Newsom’s Press Office, crafted in a deliberately mocking and Trump-esque style, have been sending the MAGA world into a frenzy — and Perino is no exception.

If you’re doing this and it’s not authentic and you’re trying to impersonate somebody you call Hitler… and you think we don’t get the joke — oh no, we get the joke, it’s just not funny,” Perino said on The Five, visibly frustrated.

Newsom’s account has been relentless, poking fun at Fox News personalities like Greg Gutfeld:

“I SELDOM WATCH LOW-RATED ‘GARBAGEMAN’ GREG GUTFELD BUT, WHEN I DO, I MARVEL AT THE FAKE LAUGHTER ON THE SHOW. IT SOUNDS LIKE A BAD ‘LAUGH MACHINE,’ IT’S SO OBNOXIOUS AND DISGUSTING, JUST LIKE HIM, ALWAYS LAUGHING NO MATTER WHAT IS SAID.”

The account also mocked Fox’s perceived bias against Newsom, writing,

“REAL PATRIOTS HATE IT WHEN FOX (‘EDITS THE TAPES’) PUTS GARBAGEMAN GREG ON. FOX OUGHT TO ‘GET SMART’ AND NOT USE LOSERS LIKE THIS. ALSO, THEY SHOULDN’T ALLOW NEGATIVE ADS ABOUT ME. THANK YOU!”

Meanwhile, the governor’s trolling extends beyond satire — it’s a strategic challenge to MAGA followers, forcing them to confront the contradictions of idolizing Donald Trump while he increasingly behaves like a caricature on social media. Newsom’s exaggerated all-caps rants highlight the absurdity of Trump’s online persona, yet Perino and other Republicans clearly find themselves unable to laugh along.

What makes Newsom’s trolling so effective is the sheer precision: he exposes the cognitive dissonance within MAGA circles, showcasing a president whose social media antics are simultaneously authoritative and ridiculous — and leaving Fox News personalities squirming on live television.

The saga continues as Perino and other GOP commentators publicly grapple with the biting humor, proving that even seasoned media veterans can be undone by a well-aimed meme — or a few dozen sarcastic capital letters.
