On Tuesday, Republican firebrand Vivek Ramaswamy sharpened his condemnation of California governor Gavin Newsom, drawing a controversial contrast between the Democrat and former Alabama government George Wallace, a separatist who defied national integration purchases during the civil rights time. George Wallace is becoming a Democrat governor in the US, according to Ramaswamy, who drew a contentious range between Wallace’s disobedience of desegregation purchases in the 1960s and Newsom’s recent opposition to President Trump’s use of federal forces to aid in immigration raids. Wallace, a defiant figure in the segregationist era, reportedly resisted provincial orders to reunify Alabama schools, leading to the federalization of the Alabama National Guard in 1965 and former President John F. Kennedy in 1963. When Wallace refused to support civil rights protesters in the Selma to Montgomery protest, former US President Johnson called in troops to protect them, making the decision a pivotal moment in American history. The sounds of that federal-state conflict are still present more than 50 years after. Gavin Newsom will not like this, but I really like him as a man, Ramaswamy said. Gavin Newsom then fights national deportations, just like George Wallace did when he opposed national desegregation. Newsom wants shelter places, while Wallaceton desired segregated locations. Wallace blocked school windows, while Newsom blocked ICE vans,” according to his remarks, which come as Sacramento and the White House are in a deeper tussle following President Trump’s sending of 700 US Marines and thousands of National Guard personnel to downtown Los Angeles to bolster their support for ICE in immigration assaults. Newsom, who was not asked about the decision, has taken the presidency to court and criticized the action as “illegal and evil.” Donald Trump is only igniting this flame. It is immoral and improper to command the country’s national shield without consulting the governor, according to Newsom’s earlier post on X. The metaphor is intentional and precise for Ramaswamy. He contends that Newsom is “rallying radicals” and affecting national power as part of a larger effort to appeal to progressive voters back of a possible 2028 political work, accusing him of grandstanding for political gain. According to Ramaswamy, “it’s the same playbook all over again: dodge the feds, rally the radicals, and do it in front of the cameras to pander to their base.” ” And mark my words: Gavin Newsom’s presidential ambitions will end in the dustbins of history the same way George Wallace’s did.”
