With multiple protests planned near the state Capitol, Gov. Gavin Newsom has decided to not hold the annual public Christmas tree lighting live and in person as originally planned on Tuesday.

Instead, the ceremony will be held remotely, and Newsom's office will provide a recording and stream on the governor's social media accounts on Wednesday.

Watch next year as this is used as an excuse to get rid of the Christmas tree altogether.

What isn’t mentioned here is that the lighted Menorah is wholly absent from the West Steps of the CA state capitol.

Not only is he a socialist and greaseball, he’s a coward as well.

Guess we’ll have to settle for a pre-recorded, woke tree lighting ceremony this year. Oh well, just happy for such a caring governor I guess. One who’s really just looking out for our safety. /s

Uh, oh. Bad optics. Can’t afford Gruesome getting hurt by his leftist pals. He seems to be a bit cowardly. From the link -

The announcement comes as the Sacramento Regional Coalition for Palestinian Rights said it planned to rally and march to the state Capitol Tuesday night to call for a cease-fire in the war between Israel and Hamas. In an advisory to KCRA 3, the group said it wanted to “out Gov. Gavin Newsom for hiding from the public because he doesn’t want to face their anger at his shameful stance in regard to the genocide in Gaza.”
