Conservatives flip script on Newsom after he demanded 25th Amendment for Trump: 'Propped up a vegetable'

Gavin Newsom wants to talk about the 25th Amendment. Fine, let's talk about it. This is the same governor whose party spent four years insisting Joe Biden was sharp as a tack while he shuffled through press conferences, froze on stage, and needed handlers to steer him off platforms. Now Newsom is out here diagnosing Trump's mental fitness off a single speech about election integrity. The audacity is almost impressive.

Nobody's saying Trump's every word is poetry. But there's a difference between a guy who talks fast and loose and a guy whose own staff was reportedly managing his schedule to avoid afternoon appearances because the decline was that visible. Democrats built an entire cover operation around Biden for years, and reporters who are now suddenly very interested in cognitive fitness sat on that story until it collapsed on live television. So when Newsom reaches for the 25th Amendment as a rhetorical bat, conservatives pointing out "you propped up a vegetable" isn't just a mean tweet. It's a receipt.

That's really what this is about. It's not that the amendment itself is some sacred, untouchable thing nobody can ever invoke. It's that the people invoking it now are the same people who ran cover for the last obvious case for over a year. If Newsom wants to be taken seriously on presidential fitness, he could start by explaining why he stayed quiet when it actually mattered.
