I will never forgive Newsom for eating and drinking with his friends at the French laundry restaurant during the covid shutdown yet I was not allowed to see my sister in the hospital at the end of her life.

If Newsom says it's not the case. Then it is the case.

[Dwdrummer]

Gavin will lie in your face over and over again

[MidNiteR]

Remember when Gabby also said he didn’t dine in the French restaurant maskless? Yeah….he’s a liar.

Vote No on Prop 1. California politicians have wasted enough money on the homeless problem and it’s only gotten worse.

[normrodriguez]

The most disturbing thing is the amount people that actually fall for this guys deceit. .... remember Jim Jones?

[MSR.]

Somehow, miraculously, he will survive another recall.More proof that votes are meaningless at this point.

It's pretty simple. Every fast food outlet installs a little oven in 9 square feet of space, and churns out a few loaves a day. Then they are all exempt.

Newsom is an embarrassment at the state level and Biden at the Federal level.

[BabaYaga-yhyi]

Why remove the provision after backlash if you have nothing to hide? 😂😂😂
That’s even more fishy. 😂😂😂

[BabaYaga-yhyi]

I’m sure the Panera Bread employees must be pretty pissed off at Mr. Scum.

[johnnytorres]

Wow, the news is actually asking Democrats tough questions. I'm shocked. Why dont they ask tough question to Biden for a change?

[ralphemerson]

Of all the damage Newsome has done in California, a bakery receiving an exemption is the least damaging.

[willieverusethis]

Well, okay, but why did bakeries get a break then? Why don't their employees deserve the same wages?

[bige]

He is a crook. He also kept his winery business in Napa open and without limitations during Covid while other businesses were forced to close until “covid safety precautions” were put in place. He needs to go away and not be allowed in politics of any sort.

[chrisc]

Newsom, the perfect Used car salesman. Even Jerry Brown hated him.

[evanmurphey]

I expect nothing less from a politician representing Crimafornia

[BabaYaga-yhyi]

hahaha game changer in Homelessness?
More billions wasted is game changer in Homelessness?
Genius

[donaldcastillo]

You didnt expect Newsom to be " honest " and admit his pay to play game did you 🤔

[reneauvray]

I think Newsom got himself in hot water!
