Newsom’s Shameful Race-Baiting Lie Blows Up in His Face

California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s ego took a brutal hit Tuesday when his own words turned into a noose. On his podcast “This is Gavin Newsom” with Charlie Kirk, he sneered, “Not one person in my office has ever used the word Latinx,” claiming ignorance of its origins. Conservatives smelled a rat—and they were right.
Fox News Digital tore the lie apart. Newsom’s tweeted “Latinx” in 2019 about childhood poverty from his official account. In 2020, his personal X post read, “#COVID19 disproportionately impacts the Latinx community,” touting $52 million for Central Valley testing—a woke virtue signal now haunting him.
He didn’t stop there. In 2023, Newsom jabbed Republicans for “banning not assault rifles, but the word Latinx”—ironic, given his denial. His Education Policy Advisor Brooks Allen wrote “Latinx” in a 2023 Ethnic Studies letter, rooting it in state curriculum. Conservatives say it’s a racist farce—pushing a term Latinos reject.
The evidence piles up. A 2020 press release from Newsom’s office flagged small business losses—“Latinx by 32%”—and another that October hyped a Becky G chat with “Latinx” youth voters. In 2021, it popped up again, targeting “Latinx” parents with $25 million for school reopenings.
His team’s fingerprints are everywhere. First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom’s “Farm to School” page laments “Black and Latinx” kids’ food woes. A 2021 X post from aide Michael Wiafe used “Latinx” for education equity. Newsom’s office whimpered to Fox, “Not widely used”—a dodge conservatives call pathetic.
Pew Research nails the coffin shut—51 percent of Hispanics don’t know “Latinx,” only 4 percent use it, and many find it offensive, per NBC News. Newsom’s lie isn’t just dumb—it’s a slap at Latinos, forcing a woke label they hate. Republicans say it’s peak elitism from a coastal fraud.
Kirk’s podcast exposed the hypocrisy raw. Newsom smirked, “I didn’t even know where it came from”—a bald-faced whopper as his own records betray him. Conservatives relish the humiliation; this slickster’s mask is off, and it’s a racist grin underneath.
Trump’s shadow looms large. His 89 executive orders in 50 days—slashing crossings to 300 daily—dwarf Newsom’s word games. While California crumbles—crime, fires, flops—Newsom preens with lies. Republicans argue it’s why he’ll never sniff 2028; America’s done with his ilk.
The backlash is fierce. Posts on X brand him a “lying snake” and “woke liar”—his viral claim’s a laughingstock. Conservatives see a governor who’d rather pander with fake racial piety than fix his state. This isn’t a slip; it’s a pattern of deceit.
Newsom’s toast. Caught red-handed, he’s not just humiliated—he’s exposed as a race-baiting hypocrite. Republicans say Trump’s winning streak buries this clown; America needs leaders, not liars, and Newsom’s latest flop proves he’s got nothing but hot air.
