California Governor Gavin Newsom used the words ‘Apartheid state’ when talking about Israel during a recent event hosted by two of the former Obama staffers who now run the ‘Pod Save America’ podcast.
This is the latest sign that Newsom is definitely running in 2028. He knows where the energy of the Democrat Party’s base is right now and that they have become increasingly hostile towards Israel in recent years.
It’s also a pathetic attempt by the ‘Pod Bros, ‘ as they’re called, to remain relevant to the base of the party.
FOX News reports:
Newsom suggests Israel is an ‘apartheid state,’ Netanyahu influenced Trump’s actions in IranWhile speaking at an event for his “Young Man in a Hurry” book tour Tuesday, California Gov. Gavin Newsom suggested Israel is an “apartheid state” and that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu influenced President Donald Trump’s decision to strike Iran.Newsom told the event’s moderators — “Pod Save America” co-hosts Jon Favreau and Tommy Vietor — it was appropriate to classify Israel as an apartheid state.”A lot of Democrats have looked at the Netanyahu regime and felt like, ‘You know what? We don’t like the trajectory he’s on. It’s time to rethink the U.S. relationship with Israel, especially military support.’ Where do you stand?” Vietor asked Newsom.”Let’s talk about that. But the issue of Bibi is interesting because he’s got his own domestic issues. He’s trying to stay out of jail. He’s got an election coming up. He’s potentially on the ropes. He’s got folks, the hard line, that [want to] annex the West Bank. I mean, [Tom] Freidman and others are talking about it appropriately — sort of an apartheid state,” the governor replied.According to Newsom, Israel’s leaders “haven’t even been able to solve the Hamas question” over the last two years, questioning how they would successfully pull off “regime change” in Iran.”I want to be careful here, but, you know, in so many ways, that influence in the context of the conversation of where Trump ultimately landed on this is pretty damn self-evident,” he claimed.

Nothing about Newsom is authentic. Everything he says is a carefully considered exercise in politics and this is no different.
The far left Democrat base hates Israel, so now Newsom must hate Israel.
Their hatred doesn’t even make sense.
