California Governor Gavin Newsom bit back at detractors for rumbling about his awkward sitting position.

Newsom, 58, was mercilessly trolled online earlier this week after critics took issue with his cross-legged position while he spoke at The New York Times' DealBook Summit.

His press office was quick to bite back, releasing an AI-generated image of the Democrat sitting his legs to in the air and his ankles crossed by his face. His hands were raised to his middle and pressed flatly into each other.

'Democracy requires flexibility,' his office wrote on X Friday.

Newsom, himself, reposted the image, writing: 'WOW!'

Earlier this week, Newsom's sitting position was criticized for being feminine and uncomfortable looking.

'His legs look like rubber,' one person quipped.

'How does ANY guy anatomically sit like this?' asked another.

He may be able to bend himself into a pretzel but that sure as heck doesn't mean he can lead.  His ideas are as bonkers as his sitting position(s).

His political positions are pretzels

Besides that the guy is a closet gay poof.

Incredibly, it Newsom's own team that released the bizarre yoga/gay-pose pic

It's like they're trying to sabotage their own candidate

He has a bunch of children doing his social media. They're not as clever as they think.

He is so ghey.

Gavin Newsom admits he’s been mean, but what he “says is true.” Watch as he sits cross-legged and makes weird hand gestures, talking about Trump knee pads.

Just because I felt like posting this: Gavin Newsom would appreciate it if you didn't share this video of him apologizing for getting caught sleeping with his campaign manager's wife.

Once a douchebag always a douchebag.

I didn't realise he was creepy back then as mayor.
