Gavin Newsom's Montana trip is latest example of flouting his own state laws

Anders Hagstrom  |  July 6, 2022 12:46pm EDT

Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom is under fire for vacationing in Montana, which is one of 22 states California has banned state-funded travel to over its LGBT-related laws.

While Newsom's office has clarified that he did not use government funds to fly to his Montana vacation, the embattled governor has faced criticism a number of times for appearing to flout his own administration's policies.

"The travel ban applies to using state funds. The Governor’s travel is not being paid by the state. Connecting the two is an attempt at gotcha journalism that is neither gotcha nor journalism," Newsom's senior communications adviser, Anthony York, said in a statement on Twitter. "The governor is on a vacation with his family. He will return later this week."

Newsom most famously attended a dinner at the world-class French Laundry restaurant even as the state was under a strict COVID-19 lockdown in late 2020.  .  .  .

As stupid as CA's restricted-state-paid-travel law is, Goobernor Noisome did not violate or "flout" it.

Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

So this makes it less hypocritical somehow?

Now Governor Greaseball has run afowl of the gays.  Not good for becoming Dem nominee in 2024.

Newsom's advisors and security detail members that are accompanying him on this trip are all California State employees.  Does anyone believe that all of these people are logging vacation time while Newsom pays their working hours, per diem, and lodging while they cater to him on his vacay?
