Gov. Newsom Criticizes DHS Border Video as 'Fascist'
California Gov. Gavin Newsom has joined critics in condemning a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) promotional video featuring Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino, calling it evidence of fascist and authoritarian tendencies.
"If you think the calls of fascism and authoritarianism are hyperbole, pause and watch this video,"
The video, which sparked widespread comparisons to Nazi imagery, shows Bovino standing outside a federal courthouse in Chicago, with a stylized black-and-white portrait of him in a calf-length black coat with star collar pins and a close-cropped haircut. The footage is overlaid with the text "WE WILL NOT BE STOPPED" and a fast remix of Coldplay's "Viva la Vida" playing beneath.
- The video was posted on X with a caption stating that Bovino "is putting his life on the line to protect our citizens, and no amount of radical terror or anarchy will stop us in our mission."
- Newsom shared the original clip, stating that "they aren't even trying to hide who they are."
