Gavin Newsom Takes A Mulligan On Botched Pandemic Response
‘We Would Have Done Everything Differently’
California Governor Gavin Newsom (D), who’s definitely not running for President in 2024 (until he does), is now on a damage control tour to rewrite history over his draconian pandemic mandates, which made California the “single worst state in every way” when it came to lockdowns, according to state Rep. Kevin Kiley (R).
“I think we would’ve done everything differently,” Newsom told NBC‘s “Meet the Press” in a pre-taped interview which aired Sunday. “I think all of us in terms of our collective wisdom, we’ve evolved. We didn’t know what we didn’t know. We’re experts in hindsight. We’re all geniuses now.”
Even host Chuck Todd pressed Newsom on his lockdown strategy, saying “You found a way to allow the motion picture industry and the movie industry to get back to work during COVID, but you didn’t allow people to grieve together at funerals or at churches.”
Wow. Chuck Todd calls out Newsom:

California state Rep. Kevin Kiley (R) called Newsom out in a Sunday post on X, writing;
Newsom is now admitting he botched California’s COVID response. But this is not, as he claims, a matter of “hindsight” being 20/20. We fought back against his disastrous decisions at the time because they so clearly ran afoul of science, common sense, and the basic precepts of a free society.
Newsom now says “we didn’t know what we didn’t know.” But all 49 other Governors knew better. California was the single worst state in every way: the most onerous school shutdowns, business shutdowns, and church shutdowns; the most draconian mask mandates, vaccine mandates, and vaccine passports; the most complete collapse of checks and balances, personal liberties, and self-government.
Despite all of this – despite the incalculable damage he did to our young people, our businesses, and our democratic institutions in the name of “public health” – California wound up with an excess mortality rate exceeding the national average, even though we had the benefit of a relatively young population.
At every turn, Newsom prioritized getting himself in the headlines and rewarding Special Interests over the health and well-being of Californians. It was the most consequential political failure in modern American history – and the most disgraceful.
Others echoed Kiley’s sentiment:
This was completely INTENTIONAL. Newsom cannot be permitted to get away with it again.
April 2, 2020 “Newsom says coronavirus is an ‘opportunity for reimagining a more progressive era’. Let’s call this the corollary to Rahm Emanuel’s “Never let a crisis go to waste”.…

And when confronted about this French Laundry dinner…
He LIED and told the public it was outdoors.
He still has not addressed that lie.

Internal polling must be TERRIBLE.
Or else Republicans found out how Democrats cheated and 2024 may be a functional election.
Cuz Ted Lieu and Newsom don’t care about your rights. They would murder your children and laugh.

The reason we can’t accept Newsom’s “hindsight” argument is b/c it isn’t authentic.
An authentic admission of wrong involves not only repentance, but pushing out the ideologues and elevating the dissentershttps://t.co/I2ZPbITiWq https://t.co/qfJX6FYbas pic.twitter.com/iDj5MC5mgu

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
