Gov Newsom Apologizes for Attending 12-Person Dinner Party at The French Laundry

California Gov. Gavin Newsom apologized on Friday for attending a dinner party last week at Thomas Keller’s French Laundry restaurant in Napa Valley, noting that he “should have modeled better behavior.”

“While our family followed the restaurant’s health protocols and took safety precautions, we should have modeled better behavior and not joined the dinner,” Newsom said in a statement to the San Francisco Chronicle.

Earlier on Friday, the Chronicle reported that at least 12 people from different households attended the dinner party, which was to celebrate the birthday of Jason Kinney, a friend and political adviser to Newsom. Representatives for Newsom did not comment on how many households were at the dinner, but they did not dispute that there were more than three households present, according to the Chronicle.

Though the dinner took place outside, it appears to have gone against state guidelines on small private gatherings, which states that “no more than 3 separate households attend,” according to the state’s COVID-19 website. State guidance for restaurants, however, does not clarify whether people from more than three households may dine together.

Easier to ask for forgiveness than ask for permission.

The French Laundry is on my bucket list. That being said, Newsom can take a flying f**k at a rolling doughnut.

A reporter lost a lunch bet to 49er owner Debartolo. Debartolo brought along his wife. The total bill was $2k. Heh heh.

This will be simply buried and then the media will bring up so-called Trump super-spreaders.

I ain't gettin' no vaccine and I'm not abiding by any national mask mandate. I went to Walmart yesterday, taped an HDMI cord to my body and said I had a heart monitor. LOLOLOL

This is insulting and ridiculous. Just like the Chicago mayor and Illinois governor who attended big Biden celebrations. Lori Lightfoot wore no mask. How long will we put up with this?

Commoners have to make a reservation months and months in advance to eat at that restaurant. But not our socialist overlords.

The French Laundry is on my bucket list.

+1 on F Newsom. I have a few friends that eat there occasionally. One of them was joking that he went out for pizza afterward because he was still hungry. I guess the food is fantastic, but I'd have trouble justifying the price. Also you get what they serve that night, so you better hope it's something you really like. Not quite on my bucket list, but I might go someday when I feel like dropping over a grand on dinner for two.

He wants to run for Prez in 2024. Make the US like the $hithole he’s making California.
