California Gov. Gavin Newsom teared up Wednesday when announcing an expansion of the state’s Service Corps geared at recruiting young men.
“Forgive me, this is embarrassing,” he said, as his eyes welled. “All the noise, we just need to turn off. Listen to this, this is it,” he continued while wiping tears off his face.
“We’re all just sitting there, screaming and yelling at each other, everybody’s getting at each other’s throats, trying to tear everybody down, and how are we going to get out of this? This is it,” he went on.
The governor’s teary showcase was in response to his administration’s plans for adding 10,000 paid positions focused on disaster response, climate action, education and community service to the state’s paid service force.
It’s one aspect of his executive order to help young men, under which he convened a summit on Wednesday.
Newsom said he was exceptionally proud but noted how cheesy his feelings might appear, at one point telling the young people behind him, “Look at me, I’m like a kid now.”
“I’m proud of the program and I’m proud of all you guys for being a part of it and for inspiring me,” he said. “It’s so obvious what we need to do. I’m just deeply proud of this.”
The Democratic governor has been on a public spree of appearances over the past few years, trying to win back young men, a constituency that shifted toward the political right since President Trump’s 2024 campaign.

More like grooming young men.
Insert puke here.
Who was the last would-be contender for the White House who cried in public? How did it work out for him?
Who’s screaming at who? They’re all demonicRATS.
Crocodile tears.
Gavin “Glycerine Tears” Newsom
What wha wha I want my Mommy..
He’s prolly lickin his lips just thing about it
His tears are as fake as they were when he set the Palisades on fire, all for his low income housing campaign..when he murdered 13 innocent people in the Palisades so he could make a quick buck..this piece of sh*t belongs on death row
You know it.
Who’s advising his campaign? Keep it up. I know most of us take a dim view on polling, but there is no question in many polls, Gruesom’s numbers are starting to dip.
It’s not very obvious what these 10,000 people do.
Disaster response, life forest fire fighting? Not likely.
Climate action? Like building windmills or lowering sea level?
Community service? Like which community? Gay, Bipoc, black, trans, illegals?

As Groucho Marx said, “ Sincerity, If you can fake that, you’ve got it made.”
Allowing everyone to see his feminine side...
LEAVE HIM IN HOLLYWOOD
He’s crying because Trump called him a dummy at the cabinet meeting.
He'll lock up this male cohort vote for sure...
The guy is mental.
