Gov. Gavin Newsom’s great strength, as Rs-gone-wild torch democracy while most Democrats can only gasp and make horrified faces, is his galloping case of don’t-give-a-hoot-itis. Joe Biden, God love him, is too polite to get in Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s face.
But the same hubris that has made our governor a spokesman for blue America also led him to conclude that of course he could celebrate a lobbyist’s b’day at The French Laundry at the height of his COVID shutdown.
And that of course he could vacation in Montana this week, even though California has banned state-funded travel there, as one of the red states too discriminatory to LGBTQ+ people to deserve any of our tax dollars.
The ban is supposed to keep Californians from even inadvertently “supporting or financing discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people.”
Montana is also one of the states that Newsom has said in a news release is likely to ban abortion soon. After Roe v. Wade was overturned, he said, “We will not cooperate with any states that attempt to prosecute women or doctors for receiving or providing reproductive care.” And Montana is attempting to do that, though abortion is still legal there for now.

I’m so old I remember when we all made fun of the Soviet Union for banning people from traveling within their own country.
California’s “Justin Trudeau”.
My goodness. Here in an article rightfully slamming Newsom for his hypocrisy, the author still manages to slam Republicans in the first paragraph. She’s very talented
Q for the SacBee: If Newsom is a spokesman for blue America, why did Deep State have to steal his recall...?
BFD. He got away with the French Laundry. Let our friends in the media point it out. Getting angry doesn’t buy us anything. Preaching to the choir.
Newsom religiously watches “Yellowstone” and identifies with the character Jamie. He went to Montana to feel the karma.
These people get off on their hypocrisy.
Can’t even follow their own guidance, which says a lot about both.
I used to be a five alarm flaming lib.
You never know when or where the seeds you’ve sown might bear fruit.
We are trying to find a nice, fluffy bison for him to pet.
Do the Montana Authorities know he always has a few grams of Cocaine on him wherever he goes?? I think a SWAT raid is in order
Governor, The baby bison are the softest and fuzziest. And they love to be picked up and hugged.

So who is paying his security guards?
Newsom didn’t wear a mask when The Party demanded that the proles wear masks. Newsom didn’t social distance when The Party demanded that the proles social distance. One might reasonably speculate that Newsom didn’t get the clot shot when The Party demanded that the proles get the clot shot.
And so, no surprise that Newsom vacations where The Party commands the proles to not.
What are the consequences of breaking the travel ban? Most assuredly Gavin didn’t travel without his security detail even though he was on vacation.
