Tempers flare when Gov Newsom orders closing of Calif restaurants, wineries—but HIS remains open

In what is seen as a major rollback, Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom has ordered the closures of numerous businesses across 19 counties in California to counter a surge in coronavirus cases.

The order will be enforced for at least three weeks, and includes restaurants, wineries and tasting rooms, movie theaters, family entertainment centers, zoos and museums, cardrooms, and bars, Fox 26 reported.

While a number of Central Valley counties are included, Napa County, where Gov. Newsom owns a winery and tasting room is not among the counties affected and the business remains open as of the July 1, 2020 order, according to the Fox affiliate.

More from Fox 26:

Gov. Newsom owns stock in PlumpJack Group, which includes a winery in Napa Valley’s Oakville. That winery is still open for tastings. According to Gov. Newsom’s 2018 tax filings, he and his wife own shares in the group that produced a combined salary of nearly $600,000 in 2018. According to PlumpJack Estate Winery’s website, the next available tasting, with certain restrictions, is July 7, 2020.

Several Central Valley counties have seen an uptick in the number of newly-confirmed COVID-19 cases in recent weeks. The numbers are much higher in Fresno Co. than in Napa Co., which is where PlumpJack Estate Winery is.

Needless to say, Newsom’s orders — and hypocrisy — didn’t go over too well online.

Here’s a sampling of responses from Twitter:

He’s not up for reelection until 2022, though.

Pelosi’s winery is in Napa County too, Saint Helena. Funny coincidence.

By marriage maybe but even then, I don’t think he qualifies as any kind of relative.

“”Newsom’s aunt was married to Ron Pelosi, the brother-in-law of Speaker of the United States House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi.[10]””

I guess Pelosi’s wineries are still open then if Napa County wasn’t included in the closings...

Doesn’t matter.. he’ll still be re-elected by a landslide next time around.

[Terry L Smith]

He had best have a guard at the winery, or two!

[oldtech]

Or maybe shut the place down.

That is whom governor Gavin Newsome is, a democrat!
