Overview

• On Fox News’ The Five, co-host Dana Perino urged Gov. Gavin Newsom to stop the all-caps posts on X, saying he was making a fool of himself.
• Newsom’s press office reposted Perino’s clip with the message “ALMOST A WEEK IN AND THEY STILL DON'T GET IT,” emphasizing that the approach is intentional.
• At a press conference last week, Newsom explained he is mirroring the president’s style to prompt more attention to the president’s online messages.
• Fox anchor Trace Gallagher also criticized the parody on Friday, saying the posts come across as childish.
• Earlier reporting that credited digital director Camille Zapata as the author was updated to note that multiple staffers share responsibility for the posts.
