‘He B*tches On The Internet’: Anna Paulina Luna Says Gavin Newsom Has Feminine Energy

Florida Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna said Thursday on a podcast that Democrat California Gov. Gavin Newsom has “feminine tendencies” as he “bitches on the internet all the time” despite pressing issues in his state.

In recent months, Newsom and his press office have become increasingly vocal online against the Trump administration and Republicans, with his office’s X account appearing to mimic President Donald Trump’s posting style. While speaking with podcaster Patrick Bet-David on his “PBD Podcast” on YouTube, the two were discussing California Democrats when Bet-David brought up Newsom.

“You’re either a great troll or you’re trying to be,” Bet-David said. “Like Newsom is dying to be Trump, but he’s not. Newsom is trying to be Trump. Newsom’s not Trump, right? Nowhere near him. But everything he does, he’s trying to be — the Trump of the left.”

Luna told Bet-David she had recently appeared on a talk show, explaining the context behind her remarks about Newsom.

“I was on a show recently. I think it was on Comedy Central, it was like an evening talk show. And they’re talking about the ‘No Kings’ protests and I made a joke and I was like, ‘Well if you’re talking about Gavin Newsom it would be the ‘No Queens’ protest,” Luna responded.

“And he was like, ‘Well is that homophobic?’ I was like, ‘No he [Newsom] just has feminine tendencies,’ and it’s totally true,” Paulina Luna added. “I don’t know, like — he bitches on the internet all the time. It’s like what are you doing, Gavin? You know, you have fires in the Palisades — what’s going on?”

Bet-David agreed with Luna’s take on Newsom, echoing her sentiment by saying the governor had “metro” tendencies.

WATCH:

Amid speculation that California Gov. Gavin Newsom may run for president in 2028, the Democrat has been increasingly vocal online against Trump, with his press office attempting to adopt the White House’s strategy of using memes and trolling adversaries.

Despite his online presence, many Californians remain skeptical of his leadership and priorities. A Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies poll from April found that 54% of 6,201 registered voters believe Newsom is “doing things that might benefit him as a possible candidate for president,” while just 26% think he’s “governing the state and helping to solve its problems.”

The poll notably followed two major fires in Los Angeles County, which destroyed thousands of homes and left residents questioning the state’s leadership. With damages totaling over $60 billion, many affected residents have spoken out about the slow pace of promised state assistance.

One Pacific Palisades resident told the Los Angeles Times in August that the process to return home has been far from straightforward, forcing her to navigate insurance adjusters, contractors and testing specialists who have provided no clear answers.

Newsom’s office did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
