Newsom urges Floridians to move to California: “Freedom is under attack in your state” [Video]
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
- California Gov. Gavin Newsom aired a political ad in Florida over the Fourth of July weekend, calling out Gov. Ron DeSantis.
- The Democratic governor tells Floridians that “Freedom is under attack in your state.”
- Newsom is encouraging Florida residents to “join the fight” or move to California.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom aired a political ad in Florida over the Fourth of July weekend targeting GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis. In the ad, Newsom criticizes Florida’s policies on abortion, measures that target LGBTQ rights, children’s books, and voting rights.
Both governors are running for reelection in November in their respective states. There is speculation that Newsom could run for president in 2024 and there are also rumors that DeSantis is aiming for the White House in the next presidential election.
Newsom speaks directly to the camera in the ad, saying “Freedom is under attack in your state” as an image of DeSantis shaking hands with former President Donald Trump appears on screen.
The Democratic governor also talks about some of DeSantis’ legislation, including Florida’s 15-week abortion ban, book bans on the basis of anti-Critical Race Theory legislation, voting rights, and the Parental Rights in Education, also known as “Don’t Say Gay” bill.
“It’s Independence Day,” Newsom says in the ad. “Let’s talk about what’s going on in America. Freedom is under attack in your state, Republican leaders, they’re banning books, making it harder to vote, restricting speech in classrooms, even criminalizing women and doctors.”
“I urge all of you living in Florida to join the fight,” Newsom continues, “or join us in California, where we still believe in freedom: freedom of speech, freedom to choose freedom from hate, and the freedom to love. Don’t let them take your freedom.”
Nikki Fried, who is running for the Democratic nomination for governor to face off against DeSantis, responded to the ad by tweeting, at Newsom, “Thanks, but I’ve got him.”
Last month, Newsom announced he has joined Trump’s Truth Social to “call out Republican lies.”

Florida is doing just fine.
On the other hand, California is nothing short to a shit hole. Who ever lives there must have some mental issues because a normal guy who realy knows what freadom means would leave that place and move somewhere else, like Florida.
What is more sick about the people living in California is that they had a chance to remove this liar and hypocrite Newsom but instead they re-elected him again. The people in California are too mentally slow therefore they don’t catchup on Newsom when he is looking in their eyes and flatly lies to them. I gues Newsom thinks that is OK to govern over one of the dirtiest state and a highest cost living state.
I think that in the end, those who wake up , will move to Florida and in the end Newsom will end up to reign over a state which is inhabited only by idiots like him.
I gues the nice California weather will take you so far in your desire to live there.

Freedom you say? I think California is the least free state in the country. You have almost no 2nd amendment rights and everything you buy causes cancer in California. Makes me wonder, why don’t these products cause cancer in other states?

Newsom must either be delusional or on drugs…..Move to California?? Seriously? People are leaving California, their population has declined….Freedom has already died in California, that would be the last place I would even visit, much less live there….

Leave a state free from state tax. Pay almost 3$ more per gallon of gas, if your family member is murdered, expect them to be never charged. Double your rent payment at least. Have your children be taught they’re either victims or are racist scum. Pay double or more for every family outing. Yea, can’t wait to do all that!

I say that it will be good for Florida if the crap he is speaking to do pack up and move to California. And those that move to California deserve what they get. I hear that they have plenty of room, with so many normal people with Intelligence moving out.

Can’t fix stupid. I escaped to Texas from Kalifornia many years ago because corrupt socialists were running the state back then, now it’s even worse. When I am forced to visit family still trapped in that communist state, it feels like I’m behind enemy lines. Anyone believing a single word that newscum (thanks Lisa, I like that) says is yet another definition of stupid. The list of authoritarian tyrannical crimes the Kalifornia government has committed against the people of the state is very, very long. But some of the blame has to rest on the sheeple who live there. In general most Kalifornians are so subjugated and brainwashed they are happy to give up their Constitutional rights and freedoms, all the while blaming someone else. If you dare, go visit and see for yourself (quickly, then get out). For anyone who has spent time in communist China, there is very little difference in the people’s numb acceptance of the tyrannical state.

I agree with Newsome. All dems in florida should move to California or NY or a blue state of your choice. This is your Utopian Dream. It is everything you ever wanted and stood for . What are you waiting for. \don[t lose your freedom in \Florida. \go to the land of your dreams. Be sure to keep voting for the dem party after you arrive there. Bon \voyage.

I think Floridans would be celebrating for years if all the dems would leave. I live in Kommiefornia and I’d love to move to Florida, OR ANYWHERE SANS THESE DEMONIC, DISGUSTING DEMOCRATS. America would definitely be better off if Kalifornia dropped off into the ocean…..but then again, that would be water polution to the MAX!!! poor fish
