California Gov. Gavin Newsom is one of the most disingenuous and dishonest politicians in America today (and that's a high bar). Because it's obvious he's running for president already, Newsom this year has become consumed by what's happening in other states (having solved all other problems in his own), most of them with Republican governors.
In his free time when he's not measuring for curtains in the Oval Office, Newsom's primary obsession has been with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, which led to the California governor helping the Left push their "book ban" nonsense:
The @GOP worked to ban 3,362 books last school year.

40% of those were in Florida.
Their bans on free speech and determination to criminalize teachers and librarians will not stand in CA.https://t.co/sSbv4iVpxU
But Newsom's "ban" claims don't end with Florida.
Now Newsom (and the Democrats) are pushing a narrative about a city in Tennessee banning being "gay in public."
I kid you not:

This is just the beginning. We have to call this out. https://t.co/0G1i7dKTgp
As usual, Newsom is lying.
Tennessee: Don’t get naked or have sex in front of minors in public

The left: TN just banned being gay, why are you oppressing the gays?!
That’s a wonderful question. How, and please autistically explain, does this oppress or ban gays? pic.twitter.com/xnd7GnHBUi
Newsom's full of more s**t than the New York City sewer system.
This is the actual ordinance Gavin is claiming bans "being gay" in public... https://t.co/HA4HCCDEqq pic.twitter.com/C8Rq6vymMw

Gavin Newsom thinks being gay means exposing yourself in public. https://t.co/5xZ8Wuuqow pic.twitter.com/Wu2ohUM6lX

Those who should be insulted by this are gay people.
Is the core of gay identity being nude in public and doing sex stuff?

I didn't think it was, but Gavin seems to be under a different impression. https://t.co/yUbrFKZoGZ
Yep, Newsom's claim is actually an insult to gay people. But Democrats like Newsom do that all the time, whether we're talking about gay people or many other demographics (i.e. supporting lower educational standards for certain minority groups, suggesting Dems think they're dumber than everybody else).
The law has its problems, but it's a flat out lie to suggest it targets gay people. It applies to everyone, gay or straight. https://t.co/mz03O4jaYn

Dishonesty is all Newsom's got and he's going to try and ride that all the way to the White House.
Moron.

It's alarming the rate in which he blatantly spreads falsehoods about things in the face of evidence to the contrary.
