Asked about the donation during a Los Angeles event, Newsom said he was compelled to donate to Crist because 'I don't like bullies.'
The California Democrat on Thursday tweeted that he was pledging $100,000 to make DeSantis a"one-term governor" and he called on his supporters to donate to Crist, who won the Democratic nomination to be Florida's governor on Tuesday.
"To call someone pejorative terms because they're short -- who the hell raised these guys?" Newsom said."What kind of people are they? I know all of us had to sit there and suck it up and take Trump's demonization but not everybody has to act like him. I mean, literally, I remember growing up and folks would have their mouths washed out with soap if they talked like this. I got four kids; I don't want these guys being models.
