Hollywood ambassador Jon Voight has blasted California Gov. Gavin Newsom as a “lying dog” after the Democrat tried to blame President Trump for the anti-ICE riots plaguing Los Angeles.
“You’re a fool blaming Trump!” Voight, who was named a “Special Ambassador to Hollywood” earlier this year, raged in a two-minute clip posted on X late Tuesday amid the violence.
“What are you doing for this destruction — 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, a longtime MAGA supporter, accused the governor of trading barbs with Trump instead of protecting the City of Angels.
“This is not about Trump,” he said. “This is about protecting the people from these animals and criminals trying to destroy us. And our police force. Are they supposed to stand there, let rocks hit them and kill them?! Who’s going to save them? You?!”
“All you do is cause chaos for the people. You’re a disgrace! You’re nothing but a lying dog for the hopes of becoming the president one day,” he added.
Newsom’s press office responded to the actor’s rant with a mocking tweet featuring a popular meme of Homer Simpson’s father yelling at a cloud.
The governor has repeatedly accused Trump of stoking the fames and exacerbating the conditions by deploying 4,000 National Guardsmen and 700 Marines after the violent protests erupted over the weekend.
