"It's interesting. I mean It's interesting, I haven't thought about AIPAC in- It's interesting you're like the first to bring up AIPAC in years, which is interesting. Why? asked Lathan. Not relevant to my day-to-day life. Which is just interesting, said Newsom. It's interesting you say that. JPAC perhaps more, but AIPAC less and less. It's just interesting. I'm just reflecting quite openly and honestly, Newsom responded. It hasn't been part of the day-to-day-"
"After Newsom cracked a joke, briefly pulling the conversation away from the topic, Lathan remarked, I'm trying to figure out right now who I can vote for. Why are you so focused on years and years? Focus on Prop 50! It's in front of you! replied Newsom. Focus on your city council race! Focus on the school board! He concluded, Focus on that, man! The hell is that? You are so many years ahead. The world is radically changing. Jesus Christ."
Gavin Newsom appeared uncomfortable when asked about pro-Israel lobbying group AIPAC. Van Lathan declared he would not vote for a candidate who accepts money from AIPAC. Newsom repeatedly called the topic "interesting," saying he had not thought about AIPAC in years and that it was not relevant to his day-to-day life. Newsom suggested JPAC was more relevant than AIPAC. He urged focus on local contests and Proposition 50, telling the questioner to prioritize city council and school board races. AIPAC publicly thanked Newsom for visiting Israel and standing with the ally.
