Newsom calls Harris rivalry claims ‘preposterous’ despite the ‘shot’ fired at him in her book

Published

on

Gov. Gavin Newsom, D-Calif., called the idea that he doesn’t like former Vice President Kamala Harris “preposterous,” though he appeared to take some jabs at her election memoir, “107 Days,” on Thursday.

“That’s a preposterous premise of a question because we absolutely do,” Newsom said on “The Axios Show.”

He argued that he and Harris have had a working relationship going back decades since they began their political careers in California and even introduced her at the Democratic National Convention as the “ultimate affirmation” of their friendship.

NEWSOM DEFENDS HARRIS’ ‘RECORD OF ACCOMPLISHMENT’ AMID CALLS FOR POLICY SUBSTANCE: ‘HOW ABOUT A LITTLE GRACE?’

Axios correspondent Alex Thompson pointed out that Harris “took a shot” at him in her book, claiming that he didn’t return her call after then-President Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race in 2024.

Newsom denied that version of events and glibly remarked that the reported tension “certainly helped her book sales.”

“She gave me a little shot as it relates to the actual truth of the walk I was on,” Newsom said. “And I remember texting her back. I said, ‘Kamala, I’ve already put out a statement supporting you. I’m the last person you needed to talk to.’ But for whatever reason, she added that in. I think it created some color for the book. It certainly helped her book sales — not my component part, but that book has done unbelievably well.”

He added that he hasn’t read Harris’ book but has “read excerpts” as he was working on his own book, “Young Man in a Hurry.”

Despite his work with Harris, Newsom acknowledged that he’s understood their “relationship to that relationship” as far as politics goes.

“When she goes, she goes first. And I’ve always understood that. And that’s wonderful. I think the press and pundits want to make something of that, and so they try to color it in,” Newsom said.

Fox News Digital reached out to Harris’ office for comment.

Newsom and Harris are considered potential rivals for the 2028 presidential primary, though neither has officially declared intentions to run. Newsom addressed the possibility of them running against each other during a CNN interview last month.

“That’s… fate will determine that. And I’ve never gotten in the way of her ambition ever. I haven’t. And I don’t imagine I would in the future,” Newsom said, adding, “You only can control what you can control.”

WWE legend Stephanie McMahon made a return to “Monday Night Raw” at Madison Square Garden in New York City to address undisputed champion Cody Rhodes.

Rhodes has been engulfed in a feud with Randy Orton since the “Legend Killer” won the men’s Royal Rumble. Orton gets a shot at the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 42, which Rhodes won back from Drew McIntyre a few weeks ago.

Orton has been on a rampage on “Friday Night SmackDown” – leaving Rhodes a bloodied mess during one episode and hitting an RKO on country music singer Jelly Roll last week. McMahon came out on Monday to give Rhodes a bit of advice. She said that Rhodes will have to tap into something sinister if he wants to come out on top at WrestleMania.

McMahon appeared to get under Rhodes’ skin when she told him that he isn’t going to be able to bring out the best from Orton because “this version of Randy Orton is diabolical.”

“You don’t have to be diabolical, but you’re going to have to be able to think like that. You’re gonna have to be able to think like Randy. Your father understood that better than anybody. Dusty Rhodes could roll with the best of them,” she said. “He can get down and dirty with the best of them, but from what I’ve seen so far, you are not your father.”

The line got a huge reaction from the crowd in New York.

Rhodes explained he knows “everything” about Orton, including his violent streak during the peak of his career which saw him punt McMahon.

“You want to bring up fathers, I’m not mine. You’re right,” Rhodes fired back. “Stephanie McMahon, with all due respect, you’re not yours either.”

McMahon then proceeded to slap Rhodes across the face.

At the end of the segment, Rhodes thanked McMahon for seemingly giving him the wake-up call he may need to get locked in for his WrestleMania match.

WrestleMania 42 is set to take place on April 18 and 19 in Las Vegas at Allegiant Stadium.

Trump says Tiger Woods ‘lives a life of pain’ after DUI arrest as affidavit reveals pills found

Published

President Donald Trump voiced his continued support for Tiger Woods following the golfer’s DUI arrest in Florida after a rollover crash, saying in a recent interview that the five-time Masters champion “lives a life of pain.”

Speaking exclusively with the New York Post on Tuesday, Trump confirmed that he spoke with Woods following his arrest in Jupiter Island on Friday afternoon. 

 “I think he’s doing great, he’s doing good,” the president told the New York Post, adding later, “He tested negative for alcohol, as you know, and he is under a tremendous physical pressure from his various ailments, you know, the back and the leg.”

According to an arrest affidavit obtained by Fox News Digital on Tuesday, deputies with the Martin County Sheriff’s Office reported observing several signs of impairment at the scene, noting that Woods was “sweating profusely” and that his movements appeared “lethargic and slow.”

Woods was placed under arrest after performing a series of field sobriety tests, and during a search, law enforcement found “two white pills inside Woods’ left side pant pocket.” According to the arrest affidavit, the pills were later identified as hydrocodone, a prescription opioid for pain relief.

Woods previously told law enforcement prior to the field sobriety tests that he underwent seven back surgeries and “over 20 operations on his leg.” He told law enforcement that “I take a few” prescription medications.

“He lives a life of pain. He has a lot of pain. He’s an amazing guy. He’s an amazing athlete. He does have pain,” Trump added Tuesday of Woods. “He doesn’t have an alcohol problem, but he does have pain.”

At the jail, Woods submitted to a breathalyzer, where he provided 0.00 results on both samples. He declined to submit to a urine test, resulting in another charge.

Woods is in a relationship with the president’s former daughter-in-law, Vanessa Trump. He competed in The Golf League championship last week, where Vanessa Trump and her daughter, Kai Trump, were spotted in the stands.

Wisconsin high school teacher charged with sexual assault of students, allegedly gave minors wine

Published

on

A 22-year-old high school special education teacher is facing decades behind bars after authorities say she engaged in sexual relationships with students and provided them with alcohol at her apartment.

Nadia Horn, who co-taught World Studies at Eau Claire North High School, made her initial appearance in Eau Claire County Court on Monday on felony child sexual assault charges.

According to a criminal complaint obtained by WEAU-TV, the investigation began on March 25 when the Eau Claire Area School District flagged a “potential inappropriate relationship” to a School Resource Officer. The subsequent probe revealed a pattern of grooming and exploitation involving multiple 16-year-old victims.

Detectives said Horn targeted at least two students she claimed needed support. One victim told police that Horn purchased a cell phone for him to facilitate “Snapchatting,” where she allegedly sent “really revealing” photos.

During police interviews, Horn allegedly admitted to having sexual intercourse with one victim three times at her Eau Claire apartment, stating, “I made a mistake.”

The victim reportedly told police that he and Horn did “everything sexual you can do with a person.”

She allegedly admitted to sexual encounters with a second 16-year-old student as well, telling investigators that the encounters “felt mutual” and she did not feel she was taking advantage of the minor.

Horn also allegedly admitted to bringing three teenage boys to her apartment in March because they “needed a ride.” Once there, she allegedly provided the minors with wine because “they asked,” according to the complaint.

The Eau Claire Area School District confirmed in a letter to families that Horn has been suspended without pay pending the outcome of the legal proceedings.

Horn was charged with second degree sexual assault of a child under 16 and two counts each of child enticement and sexual assault of a child by school staff/volunteer.

If convicted on all counts, Horn faces a maximum of 40 years in prison and a $100,000 fine.

Following her Monday court appearance, a judge set a $15,000 cash bond, which Horn posted shortly after. She is scheduled to return to court for a hearing on May 20.
