A sharp exchange unfolded when a well-known media host criticized the governor of California for using her past remarks in his online campaign against a former U.S. president. The controversy began after the governor posted a video montage on social media. The clips showed the host questioning the president’s decision to deploy military forces in American cities.
In the video, she warned that sending troops without state approval could create a serious constitutional problem. She explained that the law does not allow such action unless governors themselves request it. At the time, she argued that deploying forces without proper consent could lead to a major legal battle.
The governor, sharing these clips, wrote that the president’s political support base was breaking apart. The post drew significant attention online and quickly became a trending topic. However, the host was not pleased that her words were used in this manner and responded strongly on her own show.
Criticism of Governance in California
During her response, the media personality accused the governor of avoiding real issues within the state. She argued that instead of focusing on political battles and social media attacks, the leader should address urgent problems at home.

She pointed to a violent robbery in San Jose where an elderly man was attacked during a jewelry store burglary. She asked why the state’s leadership had remained silent on such a serious crime. According to her, crime incidents like this are a pressing issue for residents and should be prioritized.
Her remarks highlighted the growing concern about safety and law enforcement in California. She described the situation as a major crime problem, especially when groups of masked criminals could storm stores in broad daylight. For her, the silence from the state’s leadership was unacceptable and showed misplaced priorities.
Tensions Around Military Deployments
The debate also brought attention back to earlier disputes over the president’s decision to send National Guard troops to control protests. The California governor had opposed the deployment, calling it illegal. Courts later ruled that keeping soldiers in the state without proper approval went against the law. Despite this, hundreds of troops remained stationed for months.
The media host had previously agreed that such deployments were not constitutional. She stated in her past broadcast that the president did not have the authority to send forces into states unless invited. This statement was one of the clips shared in the governor’s social media post.

However, while she agreed with the legal view, she criticized the governor for celebrating political points online instead of welcoming federal help to deal with crime. She suggested that leaders should focus on protecting citizens and communities instead of building personal careers.
The clash between the two figures has added another layer to the ongoing debate about crime, safety, and the limits of federal authority. The host’s fiery response made it clear that she does not want her words used as tools in political battles, especially when state issues remain unresolved.
