California Gov. Gavin Newsom's office claims he was denied entry into a venue at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Jan. 21.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office said the governor was denied entry into a venue at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Jan. 21, after being invited to speak at the event due to “pressure” from the Trump administration.

Newsom had been scheduled to speak with Fortune at the USA House, Davos, a privately organized event, at the World Economic Forum, which has been recognized by the U.S. government as the nation’s headquarters in Davos.

    I think Newsom has a mob that idolises seeing him do theatrical owns of MAGA and confuses that with having a plan or substance and I think they see criticism of that as not fighting enough against MAGA

    I don’t know how you see his soundbites at Davos and don’t notice they are for domestic US voters and have no substance besides a performative campaign akin to Trump’s strongman

      Those owns are fun and good, but they’re not Newsome. His Twitter lady can just go work for a good candidate. He himself is worthless.

      I like to refer to the folks that believe in him (and people like him) as Blue MAGA.

        Don’t forget BlueAnon too. The people currently arguing with me in a separate post about how we shouldn’t be complaining about all the inaction from Democrats because now’s not the right time to act and they’ve totally got some 4D chess move planned for the future - COMING SOON®™
