California News:
The California Business and Industry Alliance ran an ad in USA Today Thursday calling out California Governor Gavin Newsom for his “clout-chasing” social media strategy, and said it is “embarrassing California.”
“California has real problems: Businesses are struggling, families can’t afford to live here, and destroyed homes still haven’t been rebuilt,” CABIA says. “Californians need a Governor, not an Influencer.”
The ad reacts to the Governor’s ongoing social media frenzy and shows Newsom sporting a clown costume, holding up a smartphone, and features a mock X post saying “Gavin, your tweets are embarrassing California. Stop acting like a #CLOWN.”
The ad says:
California has real problems: Businesses are struggling; families can’t afford to live here; destroyed homes still haven’t been rebuilt; unions and trial lawyers are ruining the state’s reputation. Rather than solving these problems, our Governor is wasting time on social media and bringing shame on our state. It’s time for Gavin
to get offline and get back to work.
“It’s time for Gavin to get offline and get back to work.”
The USA Today ad cites California’s numerous struggles, including the rising cost of living, destroyed homes from the recent devastating fires, and out of control trial lawyers targeting the state’s businesses.
Tom Manzo, president and founder of CABIA explains:
“Newsom’s behavior is an embarrassment to California. Instead of clowning around on social media, he should prioritize the very real concerns of his constituents. Under his watch, our state has become an even worse place to live and do business. Californians need a Governor, not an Influencer.”
CABIA also created a “gaslighting tracker noting Newsom’s subtle to blatantly false statements:”
Gavin Newsom is gaslighting the people of California. But his polished media appearances and tailored tweets can’t hide the harsh reality: His misguided policies are hurting residents, workers, and businesses across the Golden State.
Our Gaslight Tracker rates the accuracy behind Newsom’s statements on issues ranging from homelessness to minimum wage hikes. It will be updated periodically to give California residents a real-time look into Gavin’s latest attempts at gaslighting his constituents.
The ad–which ran yesterday–is the latest from the California Business and Industrial Alliance (CABIA). CABIA’s previous ads have garnered national attention, including a mock obutiary calling out the job losses due California’s $20 fast food wage law.
