'Bond villain': Newsom roasted as photo of him posing with 'sugar daddy' Alex Soros goes viral
Fox News
Gavin Newsom slammed leaders in Davos for bending to President Trump, but a viral photo with Alex Soros drew backlash from critics that he is doing his own kowtowing.
"Governor Newsom, who strikes me as Patrick Bateman meets Sparkle Beach Ken, may be the only Californian who knows less about economics than Kamala Harris. He's here this week with his billionaire sugar daddy, Alex Soros, and Davos is the perfect place for a man who, when everyone else was on lockdown, when he was having people arrested for going to church, he was having $1,000 a night meals at the French Laundry," Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said during a press conference Wednesday at the USA House in Davos. "And I'm sure the California people won't forget that."
Bessent's comments came after Newsom lamented to a reporter earlier in the week that "people are rolling over" to Trump, adding he "should have brought a bunch of kneepads for all the world leaders" at the conference.
