Gavin Newsom tore into JD Vance for reinventing himself as a Trump supporter\u2014and twisted the knife by ridiculing his physical makeover, too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Newsom on Tuesday posted a compilation of resurfaced clips of Vance declaring himself a \u201cnever Trump guy,\u201d in a 2016 <a href=\"https:\/\/charlierose.com\/videos\/29349\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:interview;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">interview<\/a> with Charlie Rose, and saying that he \u201ccan\u2019t stomach Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cGrew a beard and lost his spine,\u201d Newsom wrote alongside the video, poking fun at the clean-shaven look Vance used to sport.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Newsom further mocked the vice president\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/usha-vance-reveals-truth-claims-162838624.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-ylk=\"slk:appearance;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" target=\"_blank\">appearance<\/a>, writing, \u201cBut at least he kept the eyeliner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Vance has never addressed whether he wears makeup.

Just kidding. Or you believe the woman on that tape,\u201d Vance said in a 2016 MSNBC interview, after a New York Times <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2016\/10\/13\/us\/politics\/donald-trump-women.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:article;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">article<\/a> alleged Trump touched two women inappropriately.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In another 2016 clip, Vance agreed with sports broadcaster Matt Jones, calling Trump \u201ca fraud.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI agree with you on Trump, because I don\u2019t think that he\u2019s the person,\u201d Vance said. \u201cI don\u2019t think he actually cares about folks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In the clips, Vance claimed he even preferred Hillary Clinton over Trump in the 2016 election, saying that a basis of Trump\u2019s support lay in \u201cracism and xenophobia,\u201d he said in a 2016 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SUQWjeGom6U\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:interview;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">interview<\/a> on PBS NewsHour.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Vance, who has been floated as a 2028 presidential candidate, has been sparring with Newsom, who\u2019s been mocking Trump\u2019s rambling, all-caps writing style.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Vance claimed in a Fox News interview last week that Newsom\u2019s mimicry of Trump on X is inauthentic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cWhen I see Gavin Newsom trying to act like Donald Trump, that\u2019s the opposite of authenticity. He\u2019s not trying to be Gavin Newsom\u2014whoever that is,\u201d Vance said to host Will Cain. \u201cHe\u2019s trying to be a fake carbon copy of Donald Trump. And it just doesn\u2019t work. The lesson of President Trump in American politics is you\u2019ve got to be authentic to yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Newsom quickly shot back with a post on X, again mimicking Trump.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cJ.D. \u2018JUST DANCE\u2019 VANCE, WHO NOBODY LIKED UNTIL TRUMP PICKED HIM OUT OF THE \u2018BARGAIN BIN\u2019 IN THE WALMART CLEARANCE SECTION, WENT ON FOX TO TRASH ME, GAVIN C.
