In one part of the ad, Newsom calls out the Texas governor for being "rolled over" by Trump: "He called Greg Abbott, who doesn't have the courage, doesn't have the conscious, and he has rolled over and he said 'yes/sir and.'"

Well, Fox had a big issue with this line, specifically because they're saying it's making fun of Gov. Abbott, who is in a wheelchair:

"Greg Abbott, who is in a wheelchair, and Newsom says he rolled over for Trump. That's almost as bad as Jasmine Crockett calling him Governor Hot Wheels."

"We asked for a statement and Newsom's office gave us something flippant like, 'You're so woke, he'll get over it.'"

They showed the actual statement from Newsom's office, which said: "No. But how woke of you to ask! I'm sorry Greg's feelings were hurt. Poor guy — we hope he recovers."
