Donna Brazile dismisses Gavin Newsom's social media mimicking of Trump

Former DNC chair Donna Brazile dismissed Gov. Gavin Newsom's social media mimicking of President Donald Trump, calling for "serious people" in these "serious times."

Former DNC chair Donna Brazile dismissed Gov. Gavin Newsom's social media tactics against President Donald Trump on Sunday and said, "these are serious times."

ABC's "This Week" host Jonathan Karl read one of Newsom's social media posts during the show on Sunday and pointed out he was mimicking the president. The ABC host asked Brazile if imitating Trump was the right approach. 

"Everybody likes a good laugh, and now he’s about to, I guess, issue his own cup and golden tennis shoes and who knows what else," Brazile said. "These are serious times that require serious people to be at the table."

Brazile used Newsom as an example of Democrats fighting back harder earlier in the panel discussion about how the Democratic Party has lost registered voters in record numbers, according to The New York Times.

"The Democratic Party has outsourced so many functions to third-party organizations that didn’t produce the registration numbers. This is a wake-up call as Democrats gather, starting tomorrow in Minnesota, where we are going to have to figure out what is the road forward? We have to do the basic things. But we also have to be prepared to do what Gavin Newsom is urging Democrats of all different persuasions, fight back, punch harder. If we’re going to regain Congress and get ready for the White House, Democrats are going to have to come up with a different playbook," Brazile said.

"We couldn’t agree more with Donna here — serious times call for a serious President. What MAGA doesn’t get is that Governor Newsom isn’t imitating Donald Trump, he’s holding up a mirror and mocking him," Newsom's director of communications, Izzy Gardon, told Fox News Digital in a statement.

Comedian Bill Maher praised Newsom's tactic during his HBO show "Real Time with Bill Maher" on Friday and told his panel, "I think it’s very funny."

"I feel like Gavin has grasped the essential thing about American culture in this day and age," Maher said.
