California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) lashed out at some of President Donald Trump’s biggest allies on Wednesday, calling them “liars” and “liars” for recognizing the dangers of Trump but still currying favor with him.
But he reserved some of his harshest criticism for Vice President J.D. Vance.
“For whatever reason, Vance scares me almost more than Trump does,” Newsom told MS NOW’s Jen Psaki. “Talk about a man who puts on a mask and his face grows into the mask.”

Vance has been a leading critic of Trump, calling him an “idiot,” warning he could become “America’s Hitler,” and declaring that he is “no Trump guy.”
Newsom noted that Secretary of State Marco Rubio (who called Trump a “con artist” and suggested he had a small penis) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), along with Vance, had been among Trump’s “most effective critics.” Now, they are all part of his inner circle.
