BELOW THE BELT

Newsom’s Office Brutally Burns ‘Fascist C**k’ Stephen Miller

The California governor’s office went scorched earth in a tweet suggesting Miller’s wife had an affair.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s press office has called White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller a “fascist c--k’ in a scorched-earth tweet.

The post, which went out at 8:15 p.m. on Friday from the verified account, accused Miller of launching an “assault on democracy” and suggested that Miller’s wife, Katie, had an affair—a rumor that began after she left her White House post to work for former “First Buddy” Elon Musk’s xAI. Yet Musk has since unfollowed Katie, sparking rumors of a professional breakup.

In response to Miller slamming a “communist judge” for blocking ICE from making arrests without “reasonable suspicion,” Newsom’s office tweeted, “This fascist c--k in DC continues his assault on democracy and the Constitution, and his attempt to replace the sovereignty of the people with autocracy.”

Miller posted that the judge’s order was “an act of insurrection against the United States and its sovereign people.”

To that, Gavin’s press office added, “Sorry the Constitution hurt your feelings, Stephen. Cry harder.”

In a cheeky remark to the Daily Beast, Izzy Gardon, Newsom’s director of communications, said the office had drawn from Trump’s own vocabulary.

“We were inspired by the White House’s use of the term,” she said.

White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson told the Daily Beast in a statement: “Has Gavin Newscum explained why he protested an ICE operation to rescue kids from labor exploitation at a marijuana farm? Or was he too busy sipping wine in Napa again?”

So far, Newsom’s official X account has not interacted with or responded to the tweet, but it did cause some social media users to lament the loss of “decorum.”

“How is this appropriate?” wrote one X commentator. Another X user added, “Where has decorum gone? oh my word”

This isn’t the first time Miller’s marriage has been dragged into political mudslinging. On the heels of Musk and Katie’s joint exit, the Democratic Party’s official X account tagged Miller in a photo of an empty chair facing a bed.

Meanwhile, Newsom, who is expected to launch a 2028 presidential bid, has stepped up his critiques of President Donald Trump’s policies using his own official X account.

On Friday, Newsom slammed Trump in response to a video showing Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents shooting tear gas and pepper bullets at children. The immigration officials were raiding a marijuana growing facility in Camarillo, California, when officers began firing at the crowd.

“Kids running from tear gas, crying on the phone because their mother was just taken from the fields,” Newsom wrote on X alongside footage of the incident. “Trump calls me ‘Newscum’—but he’s the real scum.”

Newsom has also upped his public callouts of MAGA figureheads online, calling out the popular far-right influencer page “Libs of TikTok” for claiming that an “Anti-ICE protestor just PULLED A GUN on ICE agents in California.”

“Will @GavinNewsom condemn this??” the page asked.

Newsom flamed the account in his response. “Of course I condemn any assault on law enforcement, you s--- poster,” he wrote. “Now do Jan. 6.”
