Gavin Newsom Gets Cooked In Comments After Accusing Ted Cruz Of Making Fun Of His Dyslexia

Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom was torched online after accusing Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz of mocking his dyslexia, when Cruz had actually called him “historically illiterate.”

Newsom has detailed his dyslexia difficulties over the years, stating school was incredibly challenging for him growing up. On Monday afternoon, Cruz posted a clip from his podcast discussing how “historically illiterate” Newsom is.

“By the way, just like AOC and Whitmer, Newsom is apparently thoroughly historically illiterate. He said, ‘We’ve never seen National Guards federalized in the states.’ I guess his history book does not discuss the Civil Rights Movement. He’s never heard of a president named Dwight D. Eisenhower. He’s never heard of sending the National Guard into southern states when Democrats, who refused to desegregate schools, resisted,” Cruz said.

“Eisenhower sent the National Guard in. The pattern is the same. In this instance, you have Democrats who are saying, ‘We refuse to comply with federal immigration law.’ Then you had, in the 50s and 60s, you had Democrats saying, ‘We refuse to comply with civil rights law,’” Cruz added. “In both instances, it is lawless Democrats attacking law enforcement. You know, Gavin Newsom is proudly following the tradition of Bull Connor, another Democrat politician.”

In response to Cruz’s video, Newsom then posted that the Republican senator “calling a dyslexic person illiterate is a new low, even for him.” However, many were quick to call out the Democrat’s mistake.
