CNN commentator and longtime GOP insider Scott Jennings tore into California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Tuesday, accusing him of launching a presidential campaign “on top of this lawlessness” in Los Angeles.
The fiery remarks from Jennings came moments after the Democratic governor delivered a nationally televised address accusing Trump of unleashing a “military dragnet” across Los Angeles. But Jennings wasted no time unloading on Newsom over what he mocked as a “litany of complaints” in his speech.
“It's amazing to me,” Jennings said on CNN. “First of all, this guy is the governor of a state, and it has got one of its most important cities burning on his watch, and he's out here launching a presidential campaign.
Jennings blasted Newsom for pivoting from Trump’s military deployment in Los Angeles to broader attacks on the federal government, misinformation and political control.
“He went down a litany of things that have nothing to do with what's happening in California,” Jennings added. “We get this litany of complaints from Gavin Newsom about everything, about how much the Democrats in California have failed.”
The CNN conservative commentator blasted Newsom’s address as “opportunistic.” Newsom, in his video message Tuesday evening, warned that “the moment we have feared has arrived,” and called the president’s actions in his state a threat to democracy.
But Jennings quickly dismissed the Democrat’s framing of the fast-moving events.
“All that's happening in California is that a bunch of foreign nationals have occupied large swaths of the United States,” Jennings said. “One city is burning, and the president of the United States is trying to bring order. That’s all that's happening.”
Jennings added: “And people are going to wonder, ‘why in the world is the governor of California complaining about Harvard when one of his cities is on fire?’”

Democratic leaders are struggling to mount a unified response to Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown, as party officials “watched in horror” at the president’s escalating tactics in Los Angeles.
That’s according to a new report in The Bulwark, which described Wednesday how protests over ICE raids have become a “playground for Donald Trump’s authoritarian fantasies.” But while Democrats have mostly come out to condemn the raids and the use of the National Guard to target immigrant communities, including garment workers and day laborers, many in the party remain uncertain about how to confront Trump politically.
Democratic leaders are “all over the place,” one prominent immigration advocate told The Bulwark. A Democratic aide described a House caucus meeting Tuesday meant to hone the party's message as “boring” with no strategy.
The internal chaos comes as the party has, so far, been unable “to unite around a single, effective countermessage about Trump’s trampling of L.A.,” according to the report. And behind closed doors, frustrations are boiling.
“The diverging approaches and bubbling frustrations attest to the unease many Democrats continue to feel in conversations about immigration,” The Bulwark said. “It’s also highlighted that the Democratic party remains in disagreement over how much urgency and alarm it should offer in response to what many believe is an existential threat to American democracy.”
“Democrats aren’t going to be able to wish away the news coverage that for the last few days has been dominating the news cycle, simply because we decide we have nothing to say,” one Congressional Hispanic Caucus member said.
Still others in the party, like California Gov. Gavin Newsom, have emerged in the public debate with a sharper tone targeting Trump. The Democratic governor warned Tuesday in a nationally televised address that “democracy is under assault before our eyes.”
But while Democrats “continue to struggle to find their footing,” some fear that the internal party debate will allow Trump to control the narrative, the Bulwark added, as Trump plows ahead with his escalating immigration enforcement threats.
