Newsom 'Ought to be Tarred and Feathered,' Says House Speaker Johnson

House Speaker Mike Johnson's fiery criticism of California Governor Gavin Newsom has ignited a political firestorm. During a press conference on June 10, 2025, Johnson condemned Newsom's handling of recent Los Angeles protests, stating, "He ought to be tarred and feathered." While Johnson refrained from providing legal analysis, his remarks reflect growing tensions between the Republican-led House and the Democratic governor. Newsom's recent lawsuit against the President further fuels this conflict. The incident underscores the deep political divisions currently shaping American politics. Johnson's strong words, captured on video, are likely to intensify the debate.
