Gavin Newsom is a craven opportunist, as his — and other Dems’ — attack on JD Vance at Disneyland shows

Nothing says pro-family like heckling a man at an amusement park with his wife and small children.

But when you’re a shape-shifting political opportunist like California Gov. Gavin Newsom, it’s tough to see through the cloud of your own hypocrisy.

On Saturday, Vice-President JD Vance visited Disneyland in Anaheim with his kids and wife, Usha, who had read books to the children of active-duty military members at nearby Camp Pendleton a day earlier.

Newsom, who spent two days in South Carolina last week laying the foundation for a future presidential run, is trying to shore up his resistance bona-fides. So he sent a nasty X missive to Vance, writing:

“Hope you enjoy your family time, @JDVance. The families you’re tearing apart certainly won’t.”

He was referring to ICE raids cracking down on illegal immigration in California, including one Thursday at the marijuana farm Glass House — where, federal officials said, 14 undocumented kids were found to be working alongside an alleged child predator. No biggie.

Perhaps even more loathsome was DNC official Jane Fleming Kleeb’s (no relation to me) treatment of Vance.

She crossed paths with the vice-president, who was holding his 5-year-old son, Vivek, and thought it prudent to scream at him like an over-served sports fan in the cheap seats.

Then she pathetically bragged about it on X, no doubt feeling very proud of herself.

“VP Vance is at Disneyland. I’m also here with my family. When I had a brief moment, I made it clear —we support immigrants, we support America. I asked the obvious question, ‘I thought you hate California?’ Since we’ve all seen and heard the hatred coming from Vance and Trump for California and Disney.”

What a lunatic.

Imagine verbally harassing a dad with his three children — ages 8, 5 and 3 —  in the “happiest place on Earth” and thinking you’re the virtuous one.

These objections to immigration enforcement always have a common theme: openly conflating legal and illegal immigration to paint Republicans as evil xenophobes.

Vance, who married the California-born daughter of immigrants from India, would probably agree that he, too, supports immigrants. Legal ones.

The unflappable VP did not acknowledge Fleming Kleeb’s rant, but he gave a quick response to Newsom, tweeting, “Had a great time, thanks.”

Look, no politician is above criticism. But we used to respect boundaries and their families. These days, the left doesn’t care much about that distinction anymore — and they’ve happily extended the political battlefield from DC to anywhere and everywhere.

Much of this started back in 2018, when California Rep. Maxine Waters called on supporters to confront any Trump official over a zero-tolerance immigration policy that separated families.

“If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd,” she said. “And you push back on them. And you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.”

Indeed, many Trump officials — including ones who had nothing to do with the policy — were confronted in restaurants and airports. In June 2022, a California man traveled to Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s home with the intention of assassinating him (later pleading guilty to the charge).

America is in a desperately unhealthy place, living in a bad reality show where politicians are competing for the highest ranks of the Trump resistance army: arrests at ICE facilities or confronting Republicans in person.

This type of behavior doesn’t bode well for folks on either side.

Just last week, Axios reported that some two dozen House Dems revealed they’re being encouraged by constituents to amp up their actions against the Trump administration.

“Our own base is telling us that what we’re doing is not good enough … [that] there needs to be blood to grab the attention of the press and the public,” one lawmaker told the outlet. Another said the drumbeat is loud and the message is clear — “civility isn’t working” and pols should prepare for “violence … to fight to protect our democracy.”

This, a month after two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses were shot — killing two of them. Months after Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro’s home was set on fire, and a year after President Trump was grazed by a bullet meant to take his life.

It’s chilling.

To be fair, Newsom isn’t calling for violence. But let’s look at his pro-family record. He trounced all over parents’ rights last year, signing a bill to prevent schools from notifying them if their kids had socially transitioned their gender identity. And don’t forget, he lorded over prolonged school closures during Covid, leading to a host of problems for children, including learning loss and mental health issues.

That raid on Glass House, where protesters were hurling objects at ICE officers, has also sparked a child labor investigation.

A more sane person — one not so consumed with ambition — would say, hey, maybe we should be horrified that children are working on pot farms.

But, of course, the left does not really care about the children affected by illegal immigration, whether by trafficking or labor abuses.

Why cede a victory to Trump? They’d rather pretend that this system is healthy for minors — because, well, they’re doing the jobs Americans don’t want to do.

It shows how little they truly think of the children they purport to champion.
