Newsom Running Again? Rumors Swirl After Stunning Veto of Bill Forcing Parents to ‘Affirm’ Trans Child’s Gender

Americans are used to the 🐴Democratic Party slipping unpopular votes by them in the late hours of the evening in order to push forward their agenda. The purpose is to couch the outrage and provide time to perfect their excuses before facing the media as well as the public.

Democratic Governor 👤Gavin Newsom of California just employed that same strategy in vetoing the AB 957 bill very late Friday evening. The bill would have “required judges to consider whether parents affirm their child’s gender identity when deciding custody cases,” according to the Washington Examiner.

The decision to veto the bill flies against everything we firmly know about Newsom in relation to his unwavering support of the transgender movement. Certainly, the bill’s author Lori Wilson and its sponsor California State Senator Scott Wiener would also feel betrayed.

So why would Newsom suddenly switch gears, knowing that the unexpected veto would undisputedly jeopardize his standing with his normal base? To that same end, any reassurance Newsom provided in relation to the issue being remedied already by state law would now fall on deaf ears.

With his credibility suddenly thrown into question, Newsom’s “about face” must be driven by ambitions far greater than what the far left side of the equation can provide on its own. And since he has shown himself to be rather adept in flying under the radar with one decision, one can only speculate that he could easily do the same with another.
