Before we get into this post, let’s all remember that Gov. Gavin Newsom has apologized, acknowledged that we’re all human, and said he should have gotten back in his car and left when he saw the size of the crowd gathered for a birthday party at The French Laundry. He didn’t, though. And according to journalist Adam Housley, those spy photos that outed the governor and his guests not wearing masks might not have captured the full attendance of the dinner party.
1/2 Because Yountville is my hometown..and where the French Laundry is located…I thought I’d do some digging. Facts about the Newsom dinner. The bar bill was around 15-thousand. 22 people in attendance, not 12. No masks. All indoors. They got so loud, other patrons complained

2/2 There was “zero effort” to go outside and there was no social distancing of any type. I’m also told some of those there are now privately laughing at the controversy. Remember this is my little hometown. The walls speak.

Just the bar bill. Must feel great to Californians struggling to put food on the table.

Yes I believe it – and some of that wine probably came from Newsom's winery.

Nancy Pelosi must have been there to get a bar bill that high.

Who picked up that tab? Was it an expense account, care of the people of CA?

This peasant family sure could use $15k in the face of being furloughed ?

Of course they're privately laughing. These kind of people think they're better than the rest of us an the rules don't apply to them.

How stupid are we the people that we struggle day to day working hard and these ruling class elites not only ruin our lives, but they do it laughing and getting drunk, fully flaunting the “rules” that will see you or your family thrown in jail for breaking.

He has clients spending $15k on bar tabs alone and has the stones to set up the Keller Restaurant Relief Fund 501c3 to help financially support "his" employees? Talk about tone deaf! https://t.co/6YQDZJb8YE

Who paid for this illegal dinner? Did California taxpayers? If so, it's so much more insulting.

Anyone pay with a government credit card?

I think he had the audacity to say he made a bad mistake. ?
