California Governor Gavin Newsom Reportedly Buys TV Ads in Florida

SAN FRANCISCO (FLV) – Democrat California Gov. Gavin Newsom reportedly bought television advertising space in Florida. 

Newsom reportedly reserved $105,000 worth of TV ads on the Fox News Channel in Florida through his campaign even though the Governor is running for re-election in The Golden State. 

Gov. Ron DeSantis’ campaign sells mugs that say “I (heart) California… but wish my governor was Ron DeSantis.” The campaign told Fox News that Newsom’s ad buy is a smear campaign. 

“Gavin Newsom might as well light a pile of cash on fire. Pass the popcorn for his desperate attempt to win back the California refugees who fled the hellhole he created in his state to come to Florida,” the spokesperson told the outlet.

“The people of Florida pay no mind to the pathetic smear campaigns from the Democrats and their allies in the corporate media. We’re too busy enjoying the freedom Governor Ron DeSantis has created in the Sunshine State,” the spokesperson added.

A spokesperson for Newsom’s campaign reportedly told the San Francisco Chronicle to “stay tuned” when asked about the ads. 

Governor Newsom has condemned Governor DeSantis for signing the Parental Rights in Education Act into law. Left-wing activists dubbed it the “Don’t Say Gay” bill. Newsom even “urged” Disney to move to California after the company faced backlash for vowing to repeal the education law. 

Governor DeSantis has called San Francisco a “dumpster fire” as he talked about Democrats moving to Florida. 

“They will not draw the connection between their leftists ideology and the destruction that’s all around them. So it is a problem because I do think there is a class of voters who would come to Florida and they would continue to vote the same way,” DeSantis said.
