After Fixing California’s Problems, Gov. Newsom Finds Time To Go On Late Night Television.
Gov. Gavin Newsom stopped by Late Night with Seth Meyers on Wednesday to recap his Fox News debate with GOP presidential candidate and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis where he smeared DeSantis as “anti-black”
“It’s not anti-woke,” Newsom said DeSantis. “What he really means is anti-Black.”
During an interview Meyers also asked Newsom how he responds to these “very real problems” of homelessness. Newsom said the first step was to “own and address” the issues before he shifted blame back onto his Republican critics. “Look, they’ve been on a doom loop about San Francisco ever since Nancy Pelosi became Speaker,” he told Meyers.
Meyers went on to blame a lack of housing for the city’s homeless problems and pinned this on California’s Democratic voters. “You can’t blame it on conservatives, this is often your own liberal support base,” that don’t want housing for the homeless in their neighborhoods, Meyers said as Newsom nodded in agreement.
Meyers also called out the Democratic governor for the billions of dollars spent on a high-speed rail project approved 15 years ago that is years behind schedule and overbudget.
