Top Trump ally Hannity denounced Newsom, a potential 2028 Democratic presidential contender, as a “radical” whose policies had wrecked California and dismissed his Trump impersonations as “embarrassing.”

Then came the line that went viral:

“I have a point. Results matter. A new performative, confrontational style. Maybe it wins you points with the loony, radical base in your party. But America is not going to vote for that record.”

Critics pounced on the remark, arguing it sounded more like a description of Trump — and Hannity himself — than of the governor.
