“@GavinNewsom Let’s call you out by name. You were one of Joe Biden’s biggest propagandists during his campaign. You were silent about his cognitive decline even after his disastrous debate.

Hannity accused the governor of being “silent as [Biden] allowed millions of unvetted illegals into the country, including known terrorists, murderers, rapists, child molesters, cartel members, gang members, drug dealers and other violent criminals.”

“You even offered them sanctuary status and benefits in your bankrupt state of California. American families have suffered greatly Gavin. You were an enabler. You owe victims families an apology,” he continued.

Wrapping up his response, Hannity added, “You supported a candidate (Joe Biden) who partnered with a former Klansman Robert Byrd and together they fought to stop the integration of public schools. Are you proud of yourself? Mr No Show Governor you are repulsive. Save me your phony lectures and Feigned outrage.”
