Far-right podcast host Megyn Kelly was particularly irritated with California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) on the latest episode of her show, after he posted a video of her attacking President Donald Trump.
During the Tuesday episode of her SiriusXM show, Kelly prefaced her interview with conservative author Andrew Klavan by setting her sights on Newsom. Her criticism of the two-term Democrat came after Newsom posted a clip to his official X account of Kelly condemning Trump's threats to deploy the military to American cities.
"You can’t just send them into random cities in support of just fighting crime," Kelly is seen saying in Newsom's post. "That, you really can’t do without the invitation of a governor. So we’re heading for an uncomfortable showdown."

“I’m sorry but we can’t have it, he does not have the constitutional permission to do it. It very clearly is not constitutional... I don’t want a world in which I’m siding with Governor Pritzker over President Trump,” she added. “But I will if he does it, because he can’t do it, legally.”
"Trump's base is splintering," Newsom tweeted.
The former Fox News and NBC host responded to Newsom's tweet by playing a video of a jewelry store robbery in San Jose, California, in which a group of masked people can be seen backing a van through the front of the store before ransacking the store. She then argued that the video proves California has "a crime problem" and that Newsom should be "thrilled" to accept Trump's offer of National Guard troops.
“What did Gavin Gavin Newsom say? Nothing. We’ve seen him say absolutely nothing about it," she said of the robbery. She added that rather than "tweeting about me," Newsom should instead "tweet about the constituents in his own state and do something to try to protect them."
