Gavin Newsom was informed at the 11th hour that his talk with Fortune at USA House in Davos was canceled.
Newsom had been invited to speak on Wednesday at an event sponsored by USA House, which for the first time was recognized by the U.S. government as the country’s official headquarters at Davos. But an organizer told his office that they had opted to not include any U.S. officials in the talk focused on CEOs and other business leaders.
In a private exchange of messages obtained by POLITICO, a Newsom administration official accused the USA House of bowing to political pressure from the State Department — an accusation the organizer denied, while emphasizing the governor was still welcome in the venue — in a microcosm of the larger geopolitical tensions on display.

The criminal seditionist and committed communist thought it would be OK to trash POTUS in front of the world.
He'll have to find another venue.

He is a greasy mobbed up crook.

Can you just sit quietly and let others speak, Newsom?
No, apparently not.

Maybe he should spotted that possibility before he crashed a party at a club he had not been a member of?

LOL!
Newsom planned to go to Davos, bad-mouth both Trump and our country, and campaign (read “suck up to Europe”) for President for 2028.
Oops. Trump has his number. Failed once again!

Gosh. Maybe it wouldn’t suck so much if you understood your relative lack of importance in the first place.

what business is it for a state governor to do that?
international affairs are handled by the POTUS and State Department, not 50 governors
the taxpayers should demand that he pay his vacation trip out of his own pocket

Yo, Sparkles, you know what Trump would do if his speech was canceled? He'd find one reporter and just start talking. You know what would happen next? He'd be surrounded by reporters listening to his every word.
Try that, Sparkles. Let us know how that works out for you.

What a fuxking cry baby Newscum is!
To: faithhopecharity
He shouldn’t have gotten out on the tarmac so Trump would have to face him that time a few months ago. Grandstanding lowlife.
Now he tries to act like he’s an equal to look good in later campaign ads. He is not.
