'The View' hosts grind Gavin Newsom for his interview with Steve Bannon

'The View' co-host Sunny Hostin took jibes at Gavin Newsom on the Thursday, March 13, episode and accused him of failing to challenge Steve Bannon during their chat on his new podcast, 'This Is Gavin Newsom'.

Moreover, she also commented about his "cute face" and added that the podcast pivot was a "poor strategy" for a future presidential bid, according to Daily Mail.

She said, "I actually did think that he was one of the leaders that would come out in terms of 2028."



 

Hostin continued, "Now he has a Steve Bannon on the show who's saying, you know, you're going to get to populism. There's a long road. He gives zero pushback there to really what is a slur against Senator Warren."

She added that the podcast interview was the most "inauthentic" thing Newsom has ever done, per the outlet.

"I believe that if you are going to be a public servant, you better be unapologetically authentic because voters can sniff out inauthenticity in a second," Hostin said.

Meanwhile, co-host Joy Behar asked Hostin if she believed in the "let them hang themselves" theory with Republicans, to which she said no.

Hostin replied, "No, I'm terribly disappointed. I think you meet energy with energy, and what he did was he showed his pretty white teeth and his cute face and did nothing other than that. And I think it's despicable."

Gavin Newsom interviews Steve Bannon in his new podcast

Gavin Newsom hosted Steve Bannon in his new podcast 'This Is Gavin Newsom' where the two found common ground over the idea that California is responsible for Elon Musk's rise to power.

The duo traded blows in the episode which drew outrage from the governor's party for platforming the controversial Donald Trump ally, per Daily Mail.



 

The California governor at one point during the podcast tried to hit home Bannon's apparent distaste for Musk, who donated millions to Trump and also became head of the budget-slashing Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

As Newsom tried to nail the MAGA torchbearer on any friction between the two and wondered what the Tesla and SpaceX CEO's "endgame" was, Bannon said, "Well, you know him, you guys created him!"

Interestingly, Newsom agreed with Bannon's point and said, "In many respects, California did. Our regulatory process and our subsidies to create this market, you're 100% right."

Moreover, Bannon further said that Musk "left Canada to go to California".
