Gavin Newsom's Montana trip is latest example of flouting his own state laws
Anders Hagstrom | July 6, 2022 12:46pm EDTDemocratic 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. . . .
