Gavin Newsom Shuts Down Kevin McCarthy Using 1 Brutal Blast From The Past
HuffPost
The California governor took a page out of the former House speaker's playbook with a throwback of his own.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom mocked ex-House speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on Thursday for bringing up Bed Bath & Beyond while attacking Democrats’ congressional redistricting plan for their state, a counteroffensive against Texas Republicans’ Trump-approved gerrymandering.
McCarthy, in a fiery interview with CNN’s Dana Bash, accused Newsom of wanting to change the state’s constitution “for his own political belief” before namedropping the bankrupt homegoods chain, which liquidated its stores and closed its last locations in 2023.
“We have a governor who spends more time on this instead of trying to encourage Bed Bath & Beyond to move back to California!” said McCarthy, who reportedly looks to raise $100 million to fight redistricting in his state.
McCarthy’s comments arrive after Marcus Lemonis — the executive chairman of Beyond, Inc. (formerly Overstock.com), which won Bed Bath & Beyond’s assets for $21.5 million in 2023 – announced that the company doesn’t intend to open or operate Bed Bath & Beyond stores in California, calling out the state for “higher taxes, higher fees, higher wages that many businesses simply cannot sustain.”
The retail chain is aiming for a comeback of sorts, as the first Bed Bath & Beyond Home store — locations of which are set to sell furniture and appliances — opened its doors in Nashville, Tennessee last week.
