Zachary Levi Criticizes Politician on Fox News, Faces Backlash as ‘Failed Actor’
Actor Zachary Levi recently took to Fox News to express his criticisms of California Governor Gavin Newsom. This follows a trend among Fox hosts who have repeatedly attacked Newsom, labeling him as “deranged.” In an episode aired on October 31, Levi, 45, discussed his negative views on the governor during an interview with Lawrence B. Jones, 32.
Zachary Levi’s Departure from California
Levi, who is known for his roles in the series *Chuck* and movies like *Tangled* and *Shazam!*, has become a vocal supporter of conservative views since backing Donald Trump for the 2024 election. During the interview, he explained his decision to leave California in 2019, citing dissatisfaction with Newsom’s administration.
Criticism of Governor Newsom
- Levi described Newsom as a “liar” and accused him of “constantly spinning” the truth.
- He mentioned that even friends with progressive ideologies expressed disappointment with Newsom’s handling of the state.
- Levi remarked that the film industry has largely moved elsewhere due to high taxation and poor governance.
“Unfortunately, there are many friends of mine, wonderful folks from California who are liberal, that are disappointed with Gavin Newsom,” Levi stated. He pointed out the struggles of California, suggesting that the state’s high taxes do not translate into positive results for its residents.
Implications of Levi’s Remarks
Levi’s comments on Fox News resonate with many Californians feeling disillusioned by the state’s leadership. Many are questioning why they should remain in a state where they feel their financial contributions result in little benefit.
This public airing of grievances against Governor Newsom adds another voice to the growing criticism he faces as he continues his political career. As more public figures like Levi weigh in, the scrutiny on Newsom’s policies and their effectiveness is likely to intensify.
