Poor Gavin Newsom. Who knew he grew up poor, had to hustle to stay alive, resorting to Wonder Bread and Mac-n-Cheese for meals, according to his latest guest appearance on the “All the Smoke” podcast?
Most poor families back in the 1970’s and 1980’s ate generic, day-old store-brand bread, discounted canned soup and meats, and government cheese. I knew skinny poor kids.
Here is the “All the Smoke” podcast:
Notice during the podcast video Newsom slips into some street slang, claiming “It was about payin’ the bills, man.” “Wonder bread and Mac ‘n cheese. That’s how I grew up, bro.” That “it was just like hustlin.” “I raised myself.”
Right. Gavin was a latchkey kid? When Gavin was featured in a “Children of the Rich” article in 1991 at the age of 25, that pretty much put the latchkey kid from the Larchmont Homes tract-housing act to rest… until now, as Newsom longs to be America’s next President.
Gavin Newsom’s father, William Newsom, was the attorney for the billionaire Getty Oil family, and managed their assets. Newsom’s father was an attorney, a judge and a former associate justice on the California Court of Appeals.
Wasn’t everyone’s dad an associate justice on the California Court of Appeals?
But Gavin slept on a couch and ate Wonder Bread and “raised himself.”
And then he opened a winery!
At the age of 25, Newsom “and investors” created PlumpJack Associates L.P. in 1991 with the financial help of Gordon Getty.

At the day old wonder bread store it was pretty cheap, they are all gone now.
Since he was trying to make a point of being poor, I think he would have said “from the day old Wonder Bread store”, but I’m pretty sure he has never had to buy his own groceries.
It’s a really odd pitch for President.
“Vote for me because I was in the 35th percentile on the SAT.
He’s basically admitting that 3 out of 4 ordinary Americans are smarter than him.
“Notice during the podcast video Newsom slips into some street slang, claiming “It was about payin’ the bills, man.” “Wonder bread and Mac ‘n cheese. That’s how I grew up, bro.””
Newscum is nauseating beyond human endurance.
It is true he did badly on his SATs. He got into Santa Clara College, which is reasonably competitive, with recommendations from Jerry Brown and other top politicians.
IBC (Interstate Brands Corporation) was killed by the union.
Twinkies are still around because Bimbo bought it.

Newsom watched the movie The Jerk to many times.
