California Governor Gavin Newsom faced scrutiny after claiming in an interview that no one in his office had ever used the term Latinx. This assertion was fact-checked by CNN, which presented clips of him utilizing the term multiple times between 2020 and 2023. Additionally, he attempted to distance himself from previous support for a law allowing transgender athletes to compete in women's sports, stating it was established before his governorship. CNN's Andrew Kaczynski pointed out discrepancies in Newsom's statements, emphasizing the political implications of his attempts to shift accountability.
During a controversial interview with Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk this month, Newsom attempted to distance himself from some of his more liberal policies in the past, including the use of the term Latinx.
We did find someone who used it repeatedly in his office. Let's take a listen to this, said Kaczynski, before playing four clips of Newsom referring to the Latinx community.
In that statement, he's kind of making it sound like he wasn't involved in this at all. He's like, Oh it was 2014, years before I was governor.' Like, you mean when you were the lieutenant governor?
Kaczynski reacted, In that statement, he's kind of making it sound like he wasn't involved in this at all. He's like, Oh it was 2014, years before I was governor.'
