Gavin Newsom touts 'free' diapers plan that has state paying $20 MILLION to Baby2Baby, headed by wife's crony
"I’m sure it’s a total coincidence that one of Baby2Baby’s Co-CEOs, Norah Weinstein, sits on the board of Gavin Newsom’s wife’s California Partners Project."

Gavin Newsom has announced that the state of California will be paying out $20 million to the company Baby2Baby in order to provide families free diapers. However, the one issue that critics have pointed out is that the co-CEO of the company, Norah Weinstein, sits on the board of Newsom's wife's California Partners Project.


Newsom made the announcement for the diapers ahead of Mother's Day, this upcoming Sunday. "California is taking on the cost of raising a family head-on — delivering free school meals, making preschool free for every four-year-old, expanding after-school programs, and now making sure parents leave the hospital with the basics their newborn needs. Every baby born in California deserves a healthy start in life – and that means making sure parents have the basics they need from day one," Newsom said in a statement. 


Newsom rolled out the effort on Friday, and under the program, hospitals will distribute 400 diapers directly to parents when they are discharged from the hospital. The program will prioritize low-income families that are on Medi-Cal and others.

However, critics pointed out that Norah Weinstein, a Co-CEO of Baby2Baby, is on the board of the California Partners Project, which is an organization started by Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the wife of the governor.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

You're not gonna believe this, but Gavin Newsom's new "free diapers" program is yet another corrupt NGO money laundering operation.

Kelly Sawyer runs Baby 2 Baby, an LA charity that provides baby gear to poor mothers. If you go to an LA private school, you get solicited to donate to it every year (and I have).

Newsom announced he's giving $20 million to Baby 2 Baby to give new mothers free diapers.

Only, he's not giving it directly to mothers in the form of supermarket vouchers or gift cards -- he can't do that, because then Kelly Sawyer's Hollywood producer husband Jamie Patricof wouldn't be able to funnel this money back into Newsom's presidential campaign.

Jamie Patricof, you see, is one of the top donors and campaign bundlers for the democrats in California. He's the son of venture capitalist Alan Patricof, one of the biggest bundlers for the Clintons. Jamie took over for Alan, who's 94.

Newsom is giving $20 million of our money to his close pals the Patricofs' pet "nonprofit." How much is going to get kicked back to Newsom's campaign? How much do the Patricof's get?

This plan is more full of poop than a newborn's Huggies.

Baby-2-Baby claims that they can manufacture diapers at one-fifth the cost of regular manufacturers.  But I cannot locate a single plant that they operate.
