BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales has criticized California Governor Gavin Newsom for comparing himself to Patrick Bateman, the fictional serial killer portrayed by Christian Bale. Gonzales argues that Newsom is so bad at trolling that he accidentally trolls himself. She also suggests that Newsoms is just setting himself up to be trolled, suggesting that Bateman is obsessed with his appearance and a total narcissist. The comparison sparked widespread mockery, with Newsom stating that "they still don't get it."
