California Governor Gavin Newsom faced tough questions during his recent appearance on The Shawn Ryan Show. Conservatives are calling out his political hypocrisy after he accepted a firearm gift while pushing strict gun control policies. Here’s what happened.
Newsom smiled and thanked host Shawn Ryan for the gun gift. He called it a “respectful gesture” during the interview. But this conflicts with his actual record as governor.
The governor has pushed for a national gun ban through a 28th Amendment. He signed laws increasing taxes on firearms and ammunition. Newsom also supports lawsuits against gun manufacturers.
His pandemic policies locked down schools and businesses for years. Many Californians lost jobs and businesses during COVID. Newsom enforced strict vaccine mandates even for children.
The governor supports allowing minors to access gender treatments without parental consent. He signed laws making California a sanctuary for transgender youth. This includes surgeries and hormone therapies for kids.
Newsom criticized parents who question school curriculum as “censorship.” He attacked Florida’s education policies while ignoring California’s plummeting test scores. Our schools rank near last nationally.
California faces massive homelessness and soaring crime rates. Newsom blames wildfires and climate change instead of failed policies. His solutions have worsened these crises.
This interview revealed Newsom’s true priorities—political theater over real leadership. Conservatives see through his rebranding attempt ahead of a 2028 presidential run.
