California Governor Gavin Newsom is facing backlash for his ongoing Twitter feud with former President Donald Trump. Newsom has been using social media to criticize Trump, with some calling his actions unprofessional and contributing to the toxic political climate.

In a recent tweet, Newsom called out Trump for his handling of the pandemic, writing, "Trump's failed leadership during the COVID-19 crisis continues to harm our country. We need a president who takes this virus seriously." Trump fired back, accusing Newsom of being a "hypocrite" and questioning his own leadership during the crisis.

Political analysts are divided on Newsom's approach to engaging with Trump on social media. Some argue that it distracts from more pressing issues facing California, while others believe it is a strategic move to keep Trump accountable for his actions.

Former DNC chair Donna Brazile dismissed Newsom's Twitter antics, stating that "these are serious times and we need leaders who are focused on solutions, not social media spats."

As Newsom continues to spar with Trump on Twitter, many are left wondering if this type of behavior is becoming a new norm in politics.
