California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom was pressed to defend his COVID-19 record by podcast giant Joe Rogan on Monday.
The Democratic leader, and likely 2028 presidential candidate, appeared on former U.S. Navy SEAL Shawn Ryan’s podcast for a wide-ranging interview about problems facing California as well as Newsom’s personal life and political career.
During the interview, Ryan asked Newsom to respond to a question sent in to him by his friend and fellow podcaster.
“Motherf—–r,” Newsom exclaimed before saying he was a fan of Rogan, who has been critical of the Democrat.
Ryan warned Newsom it was a “tough” question before reading it aloud: “Who will be held accountable for mandating COVID-19 vaccines for children, which were unnecessary and ineffective, and who will take responsibility for the unprecedented increases in myocarditis and cancer cases among them?”
