Newsom’s Wife Brought Children to Red States to See Racism, Sexism, and Bullying Firsthand

Newsom’s Wife Brought Children to Red States to See Racism, Sexism, and Bullying Firsthand

“Newsom’s wife is exactly who would be cast if they were looking for a parody of a rich California liberal politician’s wife.”

A 2023 interview with Jennifer Siebel Newsom by MSNBC’s Jen Psaki has resurfaced, and it certainly won’t help Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) win over red state voters in 2028.

With his eye already on a future presidential run at that time, Newsom launched a “Campaign for Democracy” tour to boost Democratic efforts in Republican-led states, visiting Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, and Mississippi. His wife and children accompanied him on the trip.

Siebel Newsom sat down with Psaki in Alabama, and the elitism and condescension in her remarks were impossible to hide.

Psaki asked, “Why was it important to you to take them on this trip to red states and learn about the history of this country?”

She essentially told Psaki she brought her children along so they could witness racism, sexism, and bullying firsthand — implying that bigotry, intolerance, and similar forms of hate are confined to red states.

Readers can judge her response for themselves. Here is Siebel Newsom’s reply:

I don’t think, or I know for a fact, that we don’t get all of this history in our schools. And it’s part of enlivening them, building their curiosity, expanding their hearts, their empathy, so they themselves can be the change they wish to see in the world and recognize that, you know, that we have work to do, and that we have healing to do.

And so that they can be, you know, use their voices to stand up and speak out when they see pain and suffering, and bullying and racism and misogyny around them.

I’m a truth seeker. They need to know the truth.

I think many of us can agree with the X user below who wrote: “It’s important to remember that most highly educated elitist Democrats are, in their heart of hearts, extremely bad people.”

These are just extraordinary remarks from someone who aspires to be the future First Lady. If her husband secures the Democratic nomination, her comments are likely to be replayed on a continuous loop in red states during the general election.

What was she thinking? She just insulted 50% of voters. This was the equivalent of Hillary Clinton’s “basket of deplorables” moment or Barack Obama’s “bitter clingers” speech. Her contempt for rural America could not be mistaken.

Reaction on social media to Siebel Newsom’s words was largely negative. One commenter mocked her by writing, “Let’s take the kids to Alabama so they can see racists up close!”

I agree with the comments above, but one response to this clip on Instapundit stood above the rest: “If Psaki weren’t in it, I’d swear that video came from the Babylon Bee. Newsom’s wife is exactly who would be cast if they were looking for a parody of a rich California liberal politician’s wife.”

He nailed it.

Both Newsom and his wife are trying too hard to play the part. But they miss the mark because there’s simply no depth there. It’s almost painful to watch.

It’s so annoying to find out the “elites” have sub-par brains.

    Perhaps the French did things correctly. Monsieur and Madame Guil Oteen would be too good for these people when the real insurrection occurs.

    Let them eat cake, because racism.

    Morning ritual at their home:
    Montana, Brooklynn, are you sure you still feel like you’re girls? Gavin, Hunter, wouldn’t you like some nice dolls to play with?

A wide eyed bubble head bleach blonde. So I can see them sitting at a table with a drink and calling out to people–‘hey y’all how about some of you acting racist and sexist for us.’

Seems all she had to do was come out from behind the security and see life in Liberalfornia.

Eyes = windows to the soul.

In her case, what’s behind the windows is a vacant building with flotsam and jetsam left behind by the last tenant.

    AF_Chief_Master_Sgt in reply to Peter Moss. | March 30, 2026 at 10:39 pm

    That’s an abandoned building if I ever saw one. The elevator has never been reached the top floor, if it ever worked at all.

The definition of misogyny changed to follow the changing definition of feminism.

Hubris invites nemesis.

She’s 100% Marin County.

She puts the A in AWFL. What a disgusting bitch. Ugh. I feel dirty just reading about her.

These remarks by Newsolini’s wretched wife are as stupid, tone-deaf, unfair, elitist, presumptuous and insulting, as crone Clinton’s “basket of deplorables,” and narcissist-incompetent-dunce, Obama’s, “they get bitter and cling to guns and religion and antipathy towards people who don’t look look them.”

Just another cloistered, smug, elitist, self-congratulatory, privileged and sanctimonious Dhimmi-crat narcissist, vilifying in the most bigoted and crude way, tens of millions of Americans, based upon their skin pigmentation and the geographies in which they reside. Simply contemptible.

Not a surprise. Now we know for sure why Newsom is the way he is. Happy wife, happy life.

I am wondering what she found, has to be blatant racism in every Red state so what did shecsee to show her kids!

Hurrah, another coastal elite projecting their issues onto others. This sort provincial prejudice is nothing new and sadly doesn’t seem to be fading. Many of us from Southern States have faced this crap our entire adult lives; as if we’re all some lefty fever dream caricature of a Faulkner Novel. Go ‘down South’ to see where the ‘racism, sexism and bullying’ still exist in the wild…GTFOH. The South came to terms with racism and discrimination long ago b/c we directly confronted it, worked through it and got beyond it instead of pretending it was confined to ‘those other folks over there’. Maybe take a look at the relative position of Alabama and California for Reading scores on NAEP and ask your Husband why CA trails Bama and Mississippi.

    Well said.

    DSHornet in reply to CommoChief. | March 30, 2026 at 10:38 pm

    Indeed. Remind me to tell you about the shocked expressions that greeted me when I went to basic training at Lackland AFB in 1969 and guys from other places discovered an Alabamian who was actually lucid, understandable, and didn’t sound like Gomer Pyle.

    I’ll never – never – forget the night at a friend’s house at Plattsburgh AFB when one in the group looked at me and said, “We all know you’re from Alabama but you seem really intelligent.” Yes, he said that. Life is full of defining moments and that’s one of mine.

    I chalk her up as arrogant and ignorant and refuse to take her seriously.

Could have just taken them over to Alec Baldwin’s house

All her kids have to do is look up news articles on the Harvey Weinstein trial to know that their mother doesn’t stand up to bullies. She gets on her knees in front of them.

Oooo! She looks like a bright one!

Do you just drive around Selma, Auburn, Mobile with your CHiP’s security detail looking for bullies?

Just goes to show you trophy wife #2 are usually the stupid ones.

    DSHornet in reply to Chitragupta. | March 30, 2026 at 10:40 pm

    If she rode around Auburn the group would have been pleasantly surprised. The title “Loveliest village on the plains” is well earned. It’s a beautiful town.

Successfully stealing elections has no consequences when lying. “Let them eat at the French Laundry” would be her battle cry. Feudal California has their queen.

amatuerwrangler | March 30, 2026 at 10:05 pm

Maybe she should take the kids to Oakland to see the wonderfulness of full-blown liberal Democrat city administration.

I took my family on a RV tour of California (and other states) for the education and history. We didn’t need to go looking for the arrogance, elitism, and perversion, it showed up in about half the places we visited.

AF_Chief_Master_Sgt | March 30, 2026 at 10:29 pm

DEMOCRATS… KKK … Lynching Slaves….

N’s too stupid to obtain IDs so they can vote.

Do we need to say any more?

MoeHowardwasright | March 31, 2026 at 5:45 am

The old communists elites had the same attitude towards the workers. They were the unwashed masses kept at a safe distance. Newscum and his wife would love to see stores where only they and their fellow travelers shop. The masses get long lines for basics and NO extras.

During Harvey Weinstein’s rape trial, she was one of the accusers who was not believed. The jury accepted Weinstein’s description of their sexual intercourse as transactional sex, and not rape. There is a word for women who engage in transactional sex.

Perfect match for Sparkle Beach Ken.

As an aside, what the hell kind of hair “style” is that? Hay bale dumped on a woman’s head?

The Noisome children are being bred to be good little brainless apparatchiks.

Gavin doesn’t refer to Jennifer as his wife. He calls her first partner. Presumably because straight terms like husband and wife might be offensive to same sex couples?

Look! Is she a clone of Gavin? Or were they separated at birth?

De-humanizing political opponents is not healthy.

The older I get the more I understand the danger of boxing your own thoughts into such an infantile process.

Where does that put a serious person considering the people responsible for the dehumanization of conservatives? Quite honestly they do this because it’s effective and they are rewarded for it. They have an entire industry geared up to do it- everything from the compliant MSM to bot farms to paid agitators. The mob loves to vilify caricatures of cartoon villains. They love the dopamine rush of the hate and their own self righteousness and virtue signaling.

The person who stands up against this (ie Charlie Kirk) is their most dangerous enemy. Those are the best of us.

Those who simply turn if off because they lead serious lives are like the majority of Muslims who don’t support terrorism and sharia law and just want to lead their own lives in peace. They believe ignoring the mad barking dog will keep the mad barking dog as an insignificant thing.

The worst are those who get ginned up by the mad barking dog. They don’t have more important things to do. They don’t have God in their life and they love the easy feel good sensation of hating the cartoon villain.

W/out the Charlie Kirks winning or fighting for mind share. This battle will be uphill.

No food, but give her a smoothie for each incident of voter suppression she can find,

WOW – other than the reported “big tits”, she has nothing to offer! Typical leftist “elite” who knows NOTHING about ordinary Americans! She should conduct an experiment- take her daughters (if any) to any Southern City and let them just wander about! Most likely there will be someone who tries to help them get where they are going and is kind to them. Oh, but pick a REPUBLICAN voting area! Now do the same in a DEMOcrat voting area and notice the difference! Why do the REPUBLICAN areas first? Need you ask??
