. . .Readers, get a load of this stunning hypocrisy from California Gov. Gavin Newsom who ignored his own guidelines to go to the birthday party of one of his political advisers:
Gov. @GavinNewsom attended a birthday dinner for one of his political advisers last week with at least a dozen people from several different households, the type of gathering his administration has discouraged during the coronavirus pandemic. https://t.co/rB29C15qys

Reminder: THIS is how you have to celebrate Thanksgiving in California if you’re not a member of the ruling class:
CA Gov’s Thxgiving insanity:
-Must be held *OUTSIDE*;
-Guests may use bathrm inside if sanitized;
-Masks on while not eating;
-Singing “strongly discouraged;”
-Max of two hours together;
-6 feet *mandated* in all directions b/twn all at table & otherwise. https://t.co/wPpOBgSctN— Megyn Kelly (@megynkelly) October 25, 2020
Gov. Newsom, after getting caught, says he “should have modeled better behavior”:
NEW: @GavinNewsom says he should not have attended 12-person French Laundry celebration for top advisor @jasonkinney, as first reported by @akoseff
“I should have modeled better behavior and not joined the dinner," Newsom says

Oh, and the adviser lied about his plans on Twitter after dunking on Kim Kardashian’s private-island birthday party:
A reader has alerted me that this is what Jason Kinney, whose birthday Newsom was celebrating at the French Laundry, tweeted earlier that day: pic.twitter.com/05AYzQEQ9i

It’s good to see him getting called out:

He deserves all of the hate:

And, don’t forget, HIS kids are back in school, too:
First, Newsom's kids go back to school while millions of families are stuck at home… Then he dines with a dozen friends while telling the rest of us not to ⬇️ https://t.co/WOo7WkQhDd

Do you need to get angrier? French Laundry is one of the most expensive restaurants in the state:
At possibly the most expensive restaurant in Northern California, no less. Way to lead by example! https://t.co/2Nkh3aiQk5

A literal “let them eat cake” moment:
Thank God the dinner wasn’t held at a school, Disneyland or a football field or it would have been closed. https://t.co/XNlA2zwO76

While we’re told not to see our relatives at Thanksgiving:
Oh … but no Thanksgiving for you! https://t.co/xtTmoDcg1n
