“Hope you enjoy your family time, @JDVance,” Newsom posted on X. “The families you’re tearing apart certainly won’t.”
That’s when Trump’s Director of Communications, Steven Cheung, entered the fray—and what followed was nothing short of a verbal nuke.
Cheung didn’t hesitate to drag out one of the darkest skeletons from Newsom’s past: his infamous affair with a close staff member’s wife. In 2006, while serving as mayor of San Francisco, Newsom admitted to having an affair with Ruby Rippey Tourk, who was not only his secretary but also the wife of his campaign manager and close friend, Alex Tourk.
Cheung torched Newsom in front of the world, tweeting:
“The only thing @GavinNewsom knows about family is the one he destroyed by sleeping with his campaign manager’s wife.”
No sugarcoating. No dancing around. Just raw truth delivered without apology.
Newsom’s attempt to moralize from his glass house of scandals didn’t go unnoticed—and Cheung made sure of that. In just one sentence, the Trump official reminded Americans that Gavin Newsom is in no position to lecture anyone about “family values.”
The internet reaction was swift and unforgiving. Conservatives applauded Cheung for delivering what many called a long-overdue reminder of who Gavin Newsom really is.
Even among Democrats, there were whispers of concern over Newsom’s lack of discretion. After all, attacking a Vice President for taking his children to Disneyland isn’t exactly the hill most voters are going to die on—especially when your own history involves betrayal and personal scandal.
And let’s be honest: there’s something deeply disturbing about a sitting governor trying to score political points by mocking a father for spending time with his wife and kids. That tells you all you need to know about the moral compass of today’s Democratic leadership.
It’s clear Gavin Newsom was trying to grab a headline at the expense of decency. What he didn’t expect was a Trump official dragging his past into the spotlight and leaving his hypocrisy exposed for the world to see.
While Newsom has yet to respond to Cheung’s brutal takedown, the damage has already been done. Americans were reminded, in vivid detail, that the man pointing fingers at others for “tearing families apart” once did the unthinkable to one of his closest allies.
In the end, Newsom’s attack on JD Vance backfired—big time. And thanks to Steven Cheung, the whole country got a front-row seat to the meltdown.
