ABC's Karl Stops Newsom in His Tracks As He Makes Ridiculous Claims About Biden's 'Record'

During an appearance on ABC News' "This Week," host Jonathan Karl surprisingly stopped Newsom in his tracks, several times, as the California governor hemmed and hawed, talked in circles without saying anything, and desperately tried to rewrite the disastrous history of Joe Biden's presidency. At one point, Newsom absurdly claimed that Biden had “the best three-year record of any modern American presidency,” as he boasted about the nonexistent "extraordinary successes of the last three years."

Newsom promptly twisted himself into a silly incoherent pretzel: The economic strategy, as this president’s put together, were all things Republicans dreamt of, but never delivered. He’s delivered.

Delivered? On what? Other than out-of-control gas prices, ever-increasing prices at the grocery store, and an overall economy that a majority of Americans think sucks?

Next up, Newsom got even more ridiculous, as Karl asked him about the Biden Border Crisis, including what should happen to the millions of illegal aliens that have surged into the U.S. — virtually from day one of Biden's presidency. Take it away, Gavin (emphasis, mine).

Well, I think you have to deal with the cards that are dealt. You’ve got to deal with the reality on the ground. And you have to have a comprehensive conversation around this, across the spectrum, the push and the pull. And that’s around the fundamental issue, immigration reform. It’s not just border security. The president put out a comprehensive strategy, a pathway to citizenship along with lines of their former hero, Ronald Reagan, to address the reality on the ground.

Wrong, Gavin. The present, fundamental issue is stopping in their tracks the ever-growing number of illegal aliens walking into this country daily.
