California Gov. Gavin Newsom threw on a pair of sunglasses and sipped wine at a ritzy charity event at his sun-drenched vineyard earlier this month – just as chaotic, anti-ICE protests kicked off in Los Angeles.
The luxe event dubbed “Vineyard Vibes” was held at the Odette Estate Winery in Napa Valley to raise money for the PlumpJack Foundation, founded by Newsom’s sister, on the afternoon of June 7.
One witness was appalled that the Democrat was casually enjoying a glass of vino in a V-neck T-shirt and baseball cap the day after his City of Angels started spiraling into violence, with rioters throwing concrete rocks at cops and vandalizing federal buildings.
“I couldn’t believe it,” said the source, who photographed Newsom at the wine-tasting event.
“He was just walking around like this was an everyday occurrence.”
But more than 400 miles away, downtown Los Angeles was plunged into chaos the same day – rioters were busted for tossing Molotov cocktails at law enforcement while vehicles were set on fire and scrawled with graffiti reading “KILL ICE” and “F–K ICE.”
The violence, spurred by raids on illegal immigrants by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, reached a point that President Trump called in the National Guard over objections from Newsom, who ripped into the Republican for inflaming the situation.
Newsom attended the wine fundraiser for at least 90 minutes, the source said — with Trump sending in the troops later that evening.

He could’ve went on a junket to Ghana to celebrate Juneteenth instead.
What difference does it make where he was?
He’s not going to do any good for the citizens of California whether he is sitting at his desk in the Governor’s office or if he is at a wine-tasting in Napa, or drunk on his butt in a strip club in Vegas.
His wife was also shopping on Rodeo Drive as downtown LA was being looted..so yeah this is who the NewSCUMS are, both are disgusting frauds..its ironic that yesterday he wished his wife a happy birthday as everyone knows he is constantly cheating on her with his interns
He was wine-tasting when the wildfires broke out.
Is this greasy pos a wino?
They’re just like Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette.
Most likely.
I’m pretty sure Word Salad bought wine by the box.

Her watch: It’s always wine time.

Wino.
At least a wino. More likely a full-fledged alcoholic.
Don’t forget that during lockdown, he violated his own Covid orders and attended a birthday party where no one was masked.
Kamala sure acted like one, with some prescription drugs thrown in.
Gruesome Newsome is a blatant hypocrite.
and he has the ENTIRE local media in his pocket, same goes for Bass the Ass, CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox 11 LA, they dont even report news anymore, no more crime, no more high speed chases, only the weather report and 24/7 trashing Trump and his entire administration, well at least they aren’t hiding it anymore
Yep. Typical Dem alcoholics.
Just like demoncRAT Tampon Timmie and his wife opening the windows to smell the burn of the businesses they enjoyed. Newsom is just another deplorable demoncRAT reveling over the havoc that he created.
Let them eat breakfast tacos.
