<p>California Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom warned in an interview that aired Wednesday night that Democrats were getting destroyed on messaging heading into next week&#8217;s midterm elections.</p>
<p>&#8220;We’re getting crushed on narrative,&#8221; Newsom told CBS News’ Chief Washington Correspondent Major Garrett. &#8220;We’re going to have to do better in terms of getting on the offense and stop being on the damn defense.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I’m not paid to say that. I’m paid to say, ‘fate and feel.’ I mean, I get it,&#8221; Newsom continued. &#8220;Look, I mean I could be the cheerleader. I’m also pragmatic. You feel it.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">California Gov. Gavin Newsom is campaigning for embattled Democrats in an effort to bail out a party he says is being &quot;destroyed on messaging.” He spoke exclusively with <a href="https://twitter.com/MajorCBS?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@MajorCBS</a> addressing questions about whether his political ambitions extend beyond the Golden State. <a href="https://t.co/CzVdOhz7kX">pic.twitter.com/CzVdOhz7kX</a></p>
<p>&mdash; CBS Evening News (@CBSEveningNews) <a href="https://twitter.com/CBSEveningNews/status/1587583395596476418?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 1, 2022</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Newsom <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/09/24/politics/gavin-newsom-desantis-offense">said</a> in an interview back in September he was mad that Republicans own the &#8220;mantle of freedom&#8221; as he urged Democrats to be more aggressive.</p>
<p>“We have to wake up to it,&#8221; Newsom said. &#8220;We have to meet this moment head on, and damn it, the Democratic Party has to assert itself much more aggressively than we have.”</p>
<p>“These guys are ruthless on the other side,” he <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/3715468-newsom-democrats-getting-destroyed-on-messaging/">continued</a>. “Where are we? Where are we organizing, bottom-up, a compelling alternative narrative? Where are we going on the offense every single day? They’re winning right now.”</p>
<p>Newsom has sought to boost his national profile by attacking Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis and urging DeSantis to debate him after DeSantis flew dozens of illegal aliens to Martha&#8217;s Vineyard.</p>
<p>Newsom wrote a letter to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland falsely claiming that DeSantis — who is a lawyer — potentially engaged in “kidnapping” by having the illegal immigrants transported out of Florida.</p>
<p>Newsom claimed without evidence that the migrants were sent with “the intent” to be “humiliate[d] and dehumanize[d].” In fact, MSNBC <a href="https://twitter.com/RealSaavedra/status/1570885737540907008">reported</a> in September that the illegal immigrants were “not angry with Ron DeSantis” and that they are “actually thanking him for having brought them to Martha’s Vineyard.”</p>
<p>DeSantis responded to the remarks during a press event, saying that the over-the-top amount of hair gel that Newsom uses was “interfering with his brain function.”</p>
<p>“So, the governor of California sent a letter to the Department of Justice saying, ‘You need to prosecute Texas and Florida governors,’” DeSantis said.</p>
<p>“And all I can say is, I think his hair gel is interfering with his brain function,” DeSantis said as the audience and officials on stage with him erupted into laughter and cheers.</p>
<p>Newsom bizarrely went and found a tweet from from <a href="https://ew.com/article/2015/12/29/dan-rather-cbs-news-firing/">disgraced</a> journalist Dan Rather in which Rather suggested that CNN’s new CEO Chris Licht host a debate between Newsom and DeSantis.</p>
<p>“Hey @GovRonDeSantis, clearly you’re struggling, distracted, and busy playing politics with people’s lives,” Newsom claimed. “Since you have only one overriding need — attention — let’s take this up &amp; debate. I’ll bring my hair gel. You bring your hairspray. Name the time before Election Day.”</p>
