California Gov. Gavin Newsom invoked biblical teachings while criticizing Republican leadership and the Trump administration for the federal government shutdown’s impact on food assistance, arguing that Scripture commands care for the hungry and that Washington is failing that moral test.
Speaking Tuesday in Sacramento alongside state Attorney General Rob Bonta and Health and Human Services Secretary Kim Johnson, Newsom cited teachings from Matthew, Isaiah, Luke and Proverbs as evidence that feeding the poor is "core and central to what it is to align to God’s will."
"It’s not a suggestion in the Old [and] the New Testament," Newsom said. "These guys need to stop the B.S. in Washington. They’re sitting there in their prayer breakfasts. Maybe they got an edited version of [President] Donald Trump’s Bible, and they edited all of that out. Cruelty is the policy."
Newsom, who was raised Catholic and graduated from Santa Clara University, a Jesuit institution, has occasionally cited his faith background and Jesuit education when discussing social issues.
In his remarks Tuesday, he referenced "a wonderful Jesuit university" and said lessons from the New Testament emphasize feeding the hungry and caring for the poor.
Newsom’s comments came as California and two dozen other states sued the Trump administration's U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) over its decision to suspend November Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits during the government shutdown.
Bonta said the agency has contingency funds and is allegedly "unlawfully withholding payments."
While Newsom tied the issue to Scripture, he recently came under fire for pushing against White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt's assertion of the power of prayer in the wake of the Annunciation Catholic Church shooting in August.

And democrats vote NO to funding SNAP, because according to democrats no-one deserves to eat?
The Democrats believe that not giving into the demands of hostage-takers is violence, whether in Israel or in the United States.
Scripture also says people should be working in some capacity, should be self responsible, not demanding or expecting others support them. Gav only wants to use scripture that fits his liking in the moment.
Don’t be standing near Newsom when he gets zotted.

Good job
The Devil Quotes Scripture
OUT OF CONTEXT to the
Lord Jesus Christ Himself
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF
IS THE WORD OF GOD
Now that won’t make any sense to Unbelievers
But here it is:
John 1:1-18
King James Version
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the Beginning with God.
3 All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In Him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through Him might believe.
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not.
11 He came unto His own, and His own received Him not.
12 But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His Name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
15 John bare witness of Him, and cried, saying, This was He of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for He was before me.
16 And of His fulness have all we received, and Grace for Grace.
17 For the law was given by Moses, but Grace and Truth came by Jesus Christ.
18 No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, He hath declared Him.

Tell it to Chuck the Schmuck, Newscum.
He obviously doesn’t know scripture.
Every book he mentioned has nothing to do with Christians...
Especially since there weren’t any at the time...
NEWSOM’S PROSTITUTION SHIELD LAW CREATES SEX MARKET FULL OF 12, 13-YEAR-OLD GIRLS IN DOWNTOWN L.A.
Just like every other demonrat. You can be a Christian or a lefty but not both.
Newsom must have the Bible version where Jesus told his disciples rorender unto Caeser that which is God’s so Caeser can do God’s work.
Here is a verse for Gruesome
2 Thessalonians 3:10 For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat.
If it is so crule, then Democrats can cave and open the government anytime they want.
If he’s so worried about people going hungry
why doesnt Newsom feed them at all his restaurants.
