In a perfectly justified outburst, renowned Hollywood actor and ambassador Jon Voight has publicly lashed out at California Governor Gavin Newsom, damning him as a “lying dog” for attempting to pin the blame of the ongoing anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles on President Donald Trump.

Voight, a staunch Trump supporter, confronts Newsom’s accountability and leadership during this period of turmoil.
Voight’s fiery critique came to light in a compelling two-minute video posted on X, where he directly addressed the chaos plaguing Los Angeles.
In his impassioned message, Voight said, “You’re a fool blaming Trump! What are you doing for this destruction of these animals destroying Los Angeles? Are you there talking calmly with them, you fool? They would burn you down like they’re burning the cars and the American flag, with no regard for humanity.”
Voight emphasized the issue transcends partisan politics, focusing instead on protecting Angelenos from violent rioters.
The anti-ICE riots have caused significant chaos throughout Los Angeles, prompting Mayor Karen Bass to impose a curfew in downtown areas.
Despite the presence of National Guardsmen to restore order, tensions remain high as local leadership, including Newsom, questions the necessity and motivations behind the military’s deployment, approved by Trump against their wishes.
“This is not about Trump. This is about protecting the people from these animals and criminals trying to destroy us,” Voight reiterated, echoing his disdain for the political scapegoating by Newsom.
Such potent discourse highlights broader concerns about accountability and leadership in addressing civil unrest.
Voight’s critique aims to underline the need for decisive, non-partisan action to protect citizens.
Governor Newsom’s retort to Voight came in the form of a mocking tweet utilizing a meme, a gesture that might seem trivial amid mounting arrest numbers and ongoing riots.
With accusations from Newsom blaming Trump for escalating tensions with military presence and others seeing these accusations as political gambits for personal gain, the rift between intention and action in leadership becomes glaring.
Voight’s endorsement of Trump’s hard-hitting policies is nothing new.
He previously lauded Trump as “the greatest president since Abraham Lincoln” and supported measures to reinforce law and order amidst spiraling protests.
The fallout from the recent riots and political skirmishes reinforces the deeper national debate on governmental effectiveness and the role of federal intervention in state affairs.
Voight’s direct confrontation invites more than just a war of words; it calls for introspection and real action.
As California navigates its path through civil disarray, the public, much like Voight, awaits leadership that truly prioritizes safety and stability over political feuds and finger-pointing.
