Nicolle Wallace howls at MAGA's 'melting snowflakes' angry over Newsom trolling
August 20, 2025
Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) is having a moment as his mockery of President Donald Trump's social media posts has sent Republicans flying into a rage.
MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace showcased some of Newsom's social media posts that adopt the style of Trump's all-caps rants, calling his foes "not hot" and needling Trump supporters. Meanwhile, scores of Newsom allies have started making AI photos of the governor similar to the Trump Trading Cards, showcasing the president as a superhero, war hero, and being touched by the hands of Jesus Christ.
She played clips of Fox News hosts who called it unprofessional and attention-seeking, completely missing that they're the ones who are being ridiculed.
"Hypocrisy is dying a sad and tragic death right now, say the anchors from the network that paid $800 million for their lies," Wallace railed. "Now, if the hypocrisy in all of this isn't clear enough, if it doesn't smack you in the side of the head, here's what podcaster and radio host Charlamagne Tha God had to say about Fox News's reaction there."
In a commentary on Tuesday, Charlamagne Tha God asked the Fox hosts whether they've ever told Trump that what he is doing is unprofessional. "To act like it's cool when Trump does it but it's a problem when Gavin does it? Knock it off."
"What's good for the goose," Wallace quipped. "You know how that goes."
"I mean, talk about snowflakes! Talk about owning the libs!" smirked host Alex Wagner, leading Wallace to chuckle. "It is amazing that a party founded largely in the service of melting the snowflakes is melting so quickly when one person actually lays a hand, you know, like manages to land one on Trump, and that would be Gavin Newsom."
Wagner and Wallace noted that humor "is Trump's kryptonite."
One question Wallace asked, however, is how it took nine years to realize that mocking Trump is a tactic.
But it was after the commercial break that Wallace's giggles turned into full-grown howls. She walked through the online fight between Newsom and Kid Rock.
"I mean, again, I'm not endorsing or criticizing the strategy. But back to my meditation app, the only way out is through. And you have to go through Kid Rock and Deez Nuts," Wallace said, a reference to the satirical presidential candidate in 2016. I mean, here we are, Matt Dowd, but the only way out is to drag Kid Rock down with us."
Dowd, a former strategist for George W. Bush's campaign, brought up how confused Fox News hosts are.
"That's my favorite part of the story!" she laughed hysterically.
