DeSantis dominates Newsom in Fox Debate: Top 5 ruthless takedowns
DeSantis Dominates Newsom in Epic Debate Showdown
Republican presidential hopeful and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis delivered a masterful performance on Thursday night, systematically dismantling Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom during a fiery debate on Fox News.
This wasn’t just a clash between two state leaders, but a battle of contrasting visions for a deeply divided nation grappling with crippling debt and a loss of sovereignty, thanks to President Joe Biden’s open borders policy.
Throughout the debate, Newsom staunchly defended the Biden administration, aligning himself with its disastrous economic, social, and foreign policies. However, his strategy of evading questions, distorting facts, and making misleading statements quickly wore thin, leaving him visibly frustrated.
DeSantis, on the other hand, relied on hard-hitting facts to make his case. With the help of moderator Sean Hannity, who presented data from sources trusted by Democrats, DeSantis effortlessly exposed the flaws in Newsom’s governance.
According to Politico, the debate took such a toll on Newsom that he had to tap out, with his wife stepping in to end the debate on his behalf when Hannity proposed extending the discussion. It was a clear victory for DeSantis, who emerged as a rejuvenated candidate.
If Democrats are considering replacing the unpopular Biden before the 2024 election, they may need to look beyond Sacramento or the scandal-ridden French Laundry, the exclusive restaurant Newsom infamously visited while imposing strict lockdown measures on his constituents.
DeSantis emerged as the clear winner, delivering five brutal takedowns that left Newsom reeling:
5. DeSantis Exposes Newsom’s Father-in-Law’s Praise for Florida
DeSantis highlighted the exodus of Californians to Florida, including Newsom’s own in-laws. He recounted a conversation with a man who had relocated from California to Florida and praised the latter’s superior governance, safety, budget, and lower taxes. To Newsom’s surprise, the man revealed himself as Newsom’s father-in-law.
I was talking to a fella who had made the move from California to Florida. He was telling me that Florida’s much better governed, safer, better budget, lower taxes.

Newsom could only respond with a grin.
4. DeSantis Presents San Francisco’s ”Poop Map” to Newsom
DeSantis exposed the shocking reality of San Francisco’s decline under Democratic rule by brandishing a paper copy of the infamous “poop map.” This map, which tracks sightings of human feces on the city’s streets, symbolizes the decay of what was once a beautiful city. DeSantis pointed out that even the legendary Steve Perry’s song “Lights” romanticizing the city has been tarnished by the sight of homeless individuals openly defecating.
This is a map of San Francisco. There’s a lot of plots on that. You may be asking ‘what is that plotting?’
This is an app where they plot the human feces that are found on the streets of San Francisco.
That is what has happened in one of the previous greatest cities this… pic.twitter.com/otOz7dQxei

DeSantis didn’t hold back, remarking that human feces had become a part of daily life in San Francisco, except when a communist dictator like Xi Jinping visited and prompted a hasty cleanup effort by Newsom.
3. DeSantis Highlights California’s Failure Despite Natural Advantages
DeSantis, who had spent time stationed in California during his Navy service, acknowledged the state’s natural beauty and advantages. However, he pointed out that Newsom had managed to squander these advantages, becoming the first governor in history to oversee a population decline. DeSantis even quipped that at one point, there was a shortage of U-Hauls in California due to the mass exodus of residents.
California has more natural advantages than any state in the country.
You almost have to try to mess California up, and yet that’s what Gavin Newsom has done since he’s been governor. He’s the first governor to ever lose population. They actually at one point ran out of U-Hauls in the state of California because so many people were leaving.
DeSantis’s powerful performance left no doubt that California’s decline under Newsom’s leadership was a result of his poor governance and misguided policies.
DeSantis Slams Newsom in Fox Debate: His 5 Most Devastating Takedowns
Gavin Newsom has managed to mess up California, despite the state’s abundant resources and pleasant climate. In fact, he is the first governor in history to oversee a population decline. California even lost one of its U.S. House seats during reapportionment.
But that’s not all. DeSantis called out Newsom for defending the presence of pornographic books in California schools. During the debate, DeSantis presented a page from one of these explicit books, highlighting the inappropriate content aimed at children.
Newsom failed to provide a satisfactory answer when questioned about the inclusion of sexually explicit books in schools. He continuously deflected, avoiding the issue altogether.
Another point of contention between the two governors is their handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. While DeSantis ensured that Florida students were back in classrooms by the summer of 2020, Newsom and California Democrats fought to keep children at home. As a result, many students in California are now significantly behind.
DeSantis pointed out that Newsom’s own children were attending private school in person, while working-class and middle-income students suffered from prolonged school closures. He accused Newsom of being controlled by the teachers union, which influenced his decision-making.
Despite the evidence and the negative impact of his policies, Newsom swiftly moved on from the topic of school closures.
Overall, the debate between DeSantis and Newsom was a clash of opposing views on morality, decency, and governance. DeSantis presented facts and exposed the failures of Biden’s agenda and the dire situation in California.
It was a rough night for Newsom, who finally faced off against his political nemesis. While the outcome of the upcoming GOP primary is uncertain, this debate highlighted the battle between two factions vying to lead the country forward.
DeSantis emerged as the clear winner, delivering five devastating takedowns that exposed Newsom’s shortcomings and the mess he has made of California.
