Newsom's Controversial Policies and China Visit Raise Questions

Newsom took authoritarian actions during COVID, closing businesses and schools while ignoring evidence. He later called California the "freedom state" compared to lockdown-resistant Florida.

After overreaching COVID restrictions, Newsom visited China's leader Xi Jinping, hoping to "renew friendship" and discuss climate change, despite China's poor record.

In China, Newsom looked at electric cars, a superficial climate change effort given China's increased coal use. His own flight likely exceeded any perceived electric car benefits.

Newsom banned state employee travel to states with perceived anti-LGBTQ policies, yet visited China which has more extreme anti-LGBTQ stances and human rights violations.

Newsom's far-left policies in California led to mass exodus of residents, yet he hopes to increase his national stature for higher office, revealing hypocrisy.
