Top Newsom ally tied to Chinese in latest challenge for CA Governor

Everyone is wondering what the next big step will be for California Governor Gavin Newsom.  

Chances are that he will be among the favorites to run for president in 2028, but his possible campaign continues to get rocked by scandals and anti-Democrat positions.  

Newsom opposes trans in sports  

A couple of weeks ago, Gavin Newsom stunned Democrats by saying that he opposes transgenders in women’s sports because of the fairness issue, a clear sign that he was positioning himself for a run at the White House.  

During the 2024 election, the American people made it very clear that they did not support the idea of biological men competing in women’s sports.  

During a podcast with conservative pundit Charlie Kirk, he stated, “I think it’s an issue of fairness, I completely agree with you on that. It is an issue of fairness — it’s deeply unfair. 

“I am not wrestling with the fairness issue. I totally agree with you. … I revere sports. So, the issue of fairness is completely legit.” 

Paying for illegals 

Newsom's above position was clearly designed to draw in more moderate voters, but something else just happened on his watch that will hurt him with that same demographic. 

A report just surfaced of millions of taxpayer dollars being used to pay for the medical care of illegal immigrants.  

Paul Winfree, president and CEO of the Economic Policy Innovation Center (EPIC), explained, "They are exploiting an existing loophole within law. 

"States can do these provider taxes to funnel money back to the state, that they are then using to pay for, to put illegal immigrants on Medicaid. That’s quite literally what’s going on." 

Newsom Ally Tied to Chinese Official 

Well, that was two strikes against Newsom, and I am about to give him his third.  

Ying He, who served as the Chinese consul general in San Francisco between 2012 and 2016, just heaped praise on Darlene Chiu-Bryant, a former aide for Newsom, stating, "Darlene is the right person when you need to develop business (sic) in either California or Beijing. 

"She is an excellent PR professional and able to fulfill the most challenging tasks. She helped me a lot when I was consul in SF, promoting US-Sino investment and trade. In all, she is a friend in need and a Super Lady indeed." 

Any one of these issues would be enough to call Newsom into question, but these three issues in particular are quite damning for a man trying to push himself away from the far left to draw in more conservative and moderate voters. I won’t go so far as to say it will destroy him in a primary race, but if he does manage to get out of that race, this will make his presidential run quite difficult against any of the big names being considered from the GOP.
