Liberal Elites Booed by Their Own City at World Cup
Los Angeles, June 2026 — The U.S. team rolled to a smooth 4-1 victory over Paraguay at SoFi Stadium, but the real spectacle was in the stands. California Governor Gavin Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass strolled out waving and flashing big grins like hometown celebrities. The crowd quickly set them straight.
A loud, sustained chorus of boos poured down on the pair as they tried to bask in the spotlight. Newsom’s own teenage son stood awkwardly between them, arms folded, face twisted in clear embarrassment — the ultimate “this is painful” vibe. Bass kept waving like nothing happened. The message from frustrated Californians was loud and unmistakable: your disastrous policies have ruined this state, and we’re done faking it.
Skyrocketing homelessness, crushing taxes, collapsing schools, and businesses bolting from California — that’s the Newsom-Bass track record. Yet there they were, peacocking at a major international event like it was all sunshine and rainbows. The fans weren’t having any of the photo-op nonsense.
