Big Sky Hypocrisy: Newsom Vacations in State He Put on No-Travel List
freebeacon ^ | July 6, 2022 | Elizabeth Troutman

California Democratic governor Gavin Newsom reinforced his trend of violating his own restrictions by vacationing with his family this week in a state he placed on a no-travel list last year, CalMatters reported on Tuesday.

Newsom in July 2021 barred state-funded travel to 20 states including Montana, citing laws in the states that prohibit biological males from competing in girl’s school sports. Newsom spokesman Anthony York said the vacation to an in-law’s ranch was not state-funded but did not comment on whether a security detail joined the governor’s family.

Newsom has a history of flouting restrictions he has imposed as governor. He attended a birthday party with a dozen unmasked people in November 2020, even as he urged Californians to stay home to stop the spread of COVID-19. Newsom said in March 2021 he could relate to parents with children in virtual school, while his own kids had returned to private school for in-person learning. Last summer, the governor sent his son to basketball camp maskless, though state rules required face coverings in "youth settings."

California first restricted state-funded travel for states with "discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation" in 2016 under former Democratic governor Jerry Brown. Newsom added Montana, Arkansas, Florida, North Dakota, and West Virginia in 2021. California attorney general Rob Bonta (D.) has since added four more—Arizona, Indiana, Louisiana, and Utah—last week.

Newsom has hinted at a potential presidential bid in 2024, running ads in Florida against Gov. Ron DeSantis (R., Fla.), a potential presidential frontrunner, that urged Sunshine State residents to pack their bags and head for the Golden State.

For some real fun, he should cover himself with bacon grease and go out and try to pet a Grizzly.

He’s probably going to see the Berkeley Pit.

A big asshole looking at another big hole.

He reminds me of the sleaze ball from "Constantine". He goes back to Hell at the end.

I know Dems are pushing him to run for president, but he reminds me more of a car salesman. Gavin “Isuzu” Newsom.

The sheeple in California aren’t going to care. They’ll still re-elect the snake oil salesman overwhelmingly in November setting him up for his 2024 presidential run.

If DJT chooses not to run the nation would need DeSantis more than Florida does.

Projecting values you don’t have are easy when accountability in not going to be anywhere forthcoming.

Imagine how these arrogant hypocrites could flaunt their disregard for rules of their own making if the media just ignored it. Oh, wait...

I think his in-laws moved from Kentfield, CA to Montana some years ago, so he’s probably visiting family. But it’s still hypocritical to travel there when he’s placed a travel ban on it.

Well California voters appear to be ok with whatever Newsom does....if they don’t many are moving out of state.
