Gavin Newsom Mocks Fox News Hosts Over Reaction To Trump-Like Posts: 'Nearly Cried Because I Won't Take His Advice'

California Gov. Gavin Newsom mocked Fox News hosts Jesse Watters and Sean Hannity as he continues his Trump-like publications on social media.

"Jesse Watters kept calling me 'daddy' (very weird, not interested, but thank you!)" reads a passage of Newsom's post, written in caps. He also slammed Hannity, saying he "nearly cried because I won't take his 'advice.' Sorry Sean!!!"

"Then they dragged the B-team of dumb dumbs: 'Meatball Ron,' Tomi 'Toilet' Lahren, and Teddy 'Cancun' Cruz (he even flew back special from Mexico!) all whining about me, GCN! They had to 'play the music' to shut Ted up about my beautiful hair (I get it! So jealous!)," added a passage of the post from Newsom's press office.

The post continued mocking the MAGA world, saying they "hate me because they hate you." "Fox & MAGA have Newsom derangement syndrome!!! They should cry harder! Sad!!!" it ends.

The strategy seems to be striking a nerve as Fox News hosts continue discussing it. Dana Perino said on Monday that Newsom has to "stop it with the Twitter thing."

"If I were his wife, I would say: You are making a fool of yourself, stop it. ... He's got a big job as governor of California, but if he wants an even bigger job, he has to be a little more serious," she said.

Newsom's office responded with a post in all caps saying "Dana 'Ding Dong' Perino (never heard of her until today!) is melting down because of me, Gavin C. Newsom! Fox hates that I am America's most favorite governor ("ratings king") saving America — while Trump can't even conquer the "big" stairs on Air Force One anymore!!!"

Newsom has taken a more prominent role in the political conversation ever since spearheading a retaliation against Republicans over their redistricting initiative in Texas.

This week California Democrats unveiled a congressional map that would add five seats to the party, offsetting Texas' intended gains, which were passed on Wednesday.
