Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) posted on X Thursday for his wife Jennifer Siebel Newsom’s birthday, calling her the “First Partner of California,” which immediately drew criticism from conservatives confused over the phrasing.
The post featured a picture of Newsom’s wife with her head on his shoulder and a caption about what an amazing mother she is.
“I hope your day is just as remarkable as the work that you’ve done for California’s women and kids,” Newsom wrote.
“First Partner” is also Siebel Newsom’s description on her X account.
Notable figures such as Riley Gaines and Sage Steele joined the list of those who opposed the phrase.
“I can’t even fathom my husband unironically calling me his partner ????,” Gaines, soon to be a mother herself, wrote on X.
