Newsom Blocked at Davos? California Governor Makes Brief Allegations

    Newsom Blocked at Davos? California Governor Makes Brief Allegations

    The political battle between Sacramento and Washington just went global. Newsom’s office alleges that the Trump Administration and the State Department applied direct pressure to have the Governor barred from the "USA House" pavilion. Despite being invited weeks ago, Newsom was turned away at the door by security, with officials citing a "venue-level decision." Newsom didn't hold back, taking to X (formerly Twitter) to call the move "weak and pathetic." This comes just hours after Newsom mocked President Trump’s Davos address as "remarkably boring" and "insignificant." Meanwhile, White House spokesperson Anna Kelly fired back, calling Newsom a "third-rate governor" and "Newscum."
