Furious Californians tear Gavin Newsom to shreds as post boasting about the number of Fortune 500 companies in the state spectacularly backfires: ‘The rich is getting rich and the middle class is becoming poor’
- California Governor slammed for ‘out of touch post’ celebrating big business
- His tweet attracted 2,000 overwhelmingly hostile replies in just four hours
Gavin Newsom’s latest attempt to celebrate big business blew up in his face when he was rounded on by furious Californians for ignoring the reality of life in the Golden State.
The Democrat governor took to X, formerly Twitter, to revel in a survey suggesting that California now leads the US in Fortune 500 companies.
‘Huge’, be declared, ‘and something you definitely won’t hear on Fox News tonight.’
The backlash was certainly huge with hundreds of Californians tearing into his record on crime, drugs, housing, the budget deficit and the rest of the state’s economy
‘Cool, the rich are getting really, really rich and the middle class are becoming poor!’ wrote JD Sharp. ‘Welcome to sunny, socialist California!!’
