'Fake F**king Outrage': Gavin Newsom Defends Himself After MAGA Blasts Him For Being 'Racist'
HuffPost
The California governor received backlash after he told an Atlanta audience that he’s just like them because he got “a 960 SAT” score and “cannot read.”
California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s attempt to be relatable went south, real fast.
On Sunday, a right-leaning X account called “End Wokeness” published a clip of the Democratic governor making seemingly controversial remarks during his Atlanta tour stop to promote his memoir, “Young Man in a Hurry” that same day.
In the clip on X — which, as of Monday evening, garnered over 44 million views — Newsom can be seen sitting on stage across from the event’s moderator, Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens (D).
“I’m not, you know, I’m not trying to impress you. I’m just trying to impress upon you, I’m like you. I’m no better than you,” Newsom says as soon as the clip starts. “I’m a 960 SAT guy. And you know, I’m not trying to offend anyone [and] act ‘all there’ if you got 940.”
In response to Newsom’s self-depricating quip, both the audience and Dickens burst out in laughter.
