Hollywood legend and unapologetic conservative Jon Voight isn’t mincing words when it comes to California Governor Gavin Newsom’s latest round of political blame-shifting. As violent anti-ICE riots engulf Los Angeles, Newsom has shamelessly tried to pin the chaos on President Trump — a move that Voight, like many Americans, finds both absurd and dangerous.
In a fiery two-minute video posted Tuesday on X (formerly Twitter), Voight — who earlier this year was named “special ambassador to Hollywood” — ripped into Newsom’s cowardly attempt to score political points while his own state burns.
“You’re a fool blaming Trump!” Voight declared. “What are you doing for this destruction — these animals destroying Los Angeles? Are you there talking calmly with them, you fool?! They would burn you down like they’re burning the cars and the American flag, with no regard for humanity!”
While Newsom plays political theater, Voight pointed out the obvious: this isn’t about President Trump. This is about lawlessness, violent mobs, and leftist leadership that continues to enable criminal behavior instead of protecting innocent citizens.
“This is not about Trump,” Voight said emphatically. “This is about protecting the people from these animals and criminals trying to destroy us. And our police force. Are they supposed to stand there, let rocks hit them and kill them?! Who’s going to save them? You?!”
Voight, a longtime MAGA supporter and one of the rare voices of sanity in Hollywood, exposed what millions of Americans are thinking: Democrats like Newsom are more concerned with preserving their political ambitions than maintaining law and order. “All you do is cause chaos for the people,” Voight continued. “You’re a disgrace! You’re nothing but a lying dog for the hopes of becoming the president one day.”
Rather than address the very real concerns voiced by Voight and shared by everyday Californians suffering under Newsom’s failed leadership, the governor’s press office responded with juvenile mockery, posting a meme of Grandpa Simpson yelling at a cloud. This is how the modern Democrat Party handles legitimate criticism — with smug social media posts while their cities crumble.
Meanwhile, Newsom continues to peddle the narrative that Trump is to blame for the violent uprisings, despite the reality on the ground. After lawless protesters began torching vehicles, assaulting law enforcement, and burning American flags, President Trump acted decisively, deploying 4,000 National Guardsmen and 700 Marines to restore order and protect American lives.
Newsom, on the other hand, has done nothing but fan the flames, both figuratively and literally. His refusal to acknowledge the severity of the riots — and his instinct to blame Trump rather than hold violent anarchists accountable — reflects the broader left-wing agenda that prioritizes politics over public safety.
At a time when Los Angeles residents are desperate for leadership and security, Gavin Newsom offers only finger-pointing and delusion. And thankfully, voices like Jon Voight’s refuse to stay silent.
In today’s America, the contrast couldn’t be clearer: real leadership stands for law, order, and the safety of its citizens. Weak leadership hides behind memes, talking points, and desperate presidential ambitions. Jon Voight just said what millions of fed-up Americans are thinking.
