Poor Little Rich Boy: Gavin Newsom Grew up Poor and Hustled to Survive [FLASHBACK]
California Globe ^ | 10 28 2025 | Katy Grimes

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.

You know...I know most politicians are full of crap, but Newsom has to be the most full of crap politician that ever lived.

Buck Sexton was just now blasting Newscum about a speech he made recently about his (lower 1/3) SAT score and said to the mostly black audience, paraphrase: “See, I’m just like you.”

Newsom is the most ardent supporter of abortion and Planned Parenthood ever to hold the governship of California. He credits the Jesuits for developing his “worldview”. All the more reason that the Jesuit order must again be disbanded by the Church.

Throwing the BS flag on this, based simply on the fact that Wonder Bread was the MOST expensive supermarket white bread you could get. A poor person would get the cheap store brand stuff.

He was poor mouthing himself to the “Blacks” who he obviously thinks aren’t smart and bringing up his horrible reading “disability” he bravely overcomes each day and to mention during the upcoming campaign at every stop in every speech.

It’s the Biden “stutter” all over again.

A Gavin Newsome is what happens to people when they’re handed everything in life and never have to ‘hustle’ for a single day. He’s really out of his mind if he thinks people will believe he had to work for anything.
