California Governor Gavin Newsom was reportedly barred from entering and speaking at a scheduled “fireside chat,” hosted by Fortune magazine, at USA House — a U.S.-linked venue in Davos, Switzerland — during the World Economic Forum (WEF) event on Wednesday.
USA House is an official U.S. venue in Davos where political and business leaders from throughout the globe gather for the WEF. It is a privately funded sidebar space supported by the U.S. State Department.
Newsom (D-Calif.) had initially been invited by Fortune magazine to participate in a fireside chat on Wednesday afternoon. However, shortly before the event was set to begin, USA House officials notified his team that they were canceling the session.
Newsom’s office blamed the cancellation on alleged pressure from White House officials.
Additionally, according to Newsom’s office, a USA House official informed them that the he would not be permitted to address the media at the pavilion, stating that featuring an “elected official” did not align with the venue’s afternoon programming.
Newsom’s office was reportedly offered a 10:00 p.m. “nightcap reception” as a substitute, which would have been off the record with no press.
The White House dismissed the governor’s grievances in a sharp statement, asserting: “No one in Davos knows who third-rate governor Newscum is or why he is frolicking around Switzerland instead of fixing the many problems he created in California.”

So, beavis or butthead?
BEA-UTIFUL!!!
Even the Paul Mitchell products event cancelled him.
“Newsom’s office blamed the cancellation on alleged pressure from White House officials.”
And normal people CREDIT the cancellation on the White House.
If you lose Davos you lost the country
Did him a favor. He was drunk as Kamala
It's fun watching a Degenerate degenerate!
What shall Sparkly Beach Ken do now, set Davos on fire like he did the Palisades?
He’s a nobody at WEF. Proof: He had to be the date of a billionaire.
My Governor is at Davo also. Gov Beshear will prob drop $150K of KY Commonwealth taxes on his Davo 5 Minutes of Fame tour.
BTW the teachers elected him to governor’s office.
Then the last 6 years, Beshear has underfunded the teacher’s retirement fund.
Is “Firebug,” a code word for FAGGOT or just for a girlie-man?
“No one in Davos knows who third-rate governor Newscum is or why he is frolicking around Switzerland instead of fixing the many problems he created in California.”
Hilarious. Better put some ice on it, Gav.
Ran out of coke?
