ABC Reporter Calls BS On Newsom Saying He Gets Along ‘Extraordinarily Well’ With Trump

ABC News reporter Jonathan Karl immediately cast doubt on Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom after he claimed he gets along “extraordinarily well” with President Donald Trump during an interview.

Since President Trump returned to office in January, he and Newsom have repeatedlycriticized each other in the media and online. Karl asked Newsom during an interview on Wednesday to describe his February meeting with the president at the White House, which took place without press access.

“We get along, you may not believe this, extraordinarily well,” Newsom said. “And have for years.”

“I have a hard time believing that,” Karl immediately pushed back before swaying. “Actually, that is Trump though, isn’t it?”

Newsom traveled to Washington, D.C., in February to meet with President Trump and Democratic members of California’s delegation to discuss disaster relief for the January Los Angeles County wildfires. In a press release, Newsom’s office described the meeting as “very productive,” saying the two discussed the “critical need for unconditional disaster aid for survivors.”

The Democrat governor approved $50 million in state funds for legal battles against the Trump administration and federal immigration services on Feb. 7, days after the meeting.
