Dana Perino of Fox News argued that while Republicans “get the joke” of Governor Newsom’s The former president-style parody posts, they find it unfunny. This reaction highlights how the satirical trolling, which forces MAGA world to confront The former president’s “abject idiocy,” is effectively getting under their skin.
BREAKING: Fox News host Dana Perino has a massive meltdown over California Governor Gavin Newsom’s hilarious trolling and insists that Republicans “get the joke” but that it’s “just not funny.” These posts are really getting under their skin… “DANA “DING DONG” PERINO (NEVER HEARD OF HER UNTIL TODAY!) IS MELTING DOWN BECAUSE OF ME, GAVIN C. NEWSOM!” wrote the X account for Gavin Newsom’s Press Office.
The account has been regularly posting in a style designed to mock and mimic Trump. “FOX HATES THAT I AM AMERICA’S MOST FAVORITE GOVERNOR (“RATINGS KING”) SAVING AMERICA — WHILE TRUMP CAN’T EVEN CONQUER THE ‘BIG’ STAIRS ON AIR FORCE ONE ANYMORE!!! TRUMP HAS ‘LOST HIS STEP’ AND FOX IS LOSING IT BECAUSE WHEN I TYPE, AMERICA NOW WINS!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. — GCN” the account added. Perino is clearly upset by the bit. “If you’re doing this and it’s not authentic and you’re trying to do somebody else who you say is Hitler and you think that we don’t get the joke, oh no, we get the joke, it’s just not funny,” she said on Fox’s “The Five.”
Newsom’s Press Office also tore into Fox News host Greg Gutfeld who has repeatedly attacked the governor and called him a “coward.” “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 posted.
“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! — GCN,” the post added. The more Republicans insist that this line of attack isn’t funny, the more that we can be sure that it’s burrowing deep beneath their skin. Perino previously stated that Newsom is “making a fool” of himself but apparently she doesn’t think the same thing about Donald Trump when he posts in the exact same style but unironically.
Newsom’s trolling is so effective because it’s forcing MAGA world to confront the abject idiocy of their embarrassing cult leader. On some level they know that a president should not be communicating in rambling, all caps social media posts, but they’re so brainwashed.
