Hypocrisy Alert: Gavin Newsom's Team Drops Homophobic AI Memes on Gay Treasury Sec. Bessent

Apparently, Gavin Newsom's Press Office has decided gay jokes are the way to go to get attention online.

Remember when Democrats would have called posts like this 'homophobia'? This is certainly an interesting change.

Wild to see Gavin Newsom go from the leading voice for legalizing gay marriage to dropping AI slop gay jokes.

He broke. https://t.co/itpCeOdmrE

Hopefully, California isn't paying the people who post on that account much money because they are lame.

Literally every time it’s a gay joke. Gay jokes about Vance. About Trump and Putin. About Bessent. It’s always a gay joke. You know why? Because liberals think we gay people are a joke. https://t.co/KRVRXxEKVw

Apparently, Democrats are so sure gay people will vote for them forever that they feel they can mock them and use them for joke fodder.

So the left is just doing casual homophobia now? https://t.co/UYnGpElJdF

LOL they took like a day to respond and it’s AI slop making fun of the fact he’s gay. https://t.co/q0rggStgLI

Democrat homophobia is alive and well. https://t.co/yCqLQCnNnz

Gavin Newsom is spreading blatant homophobia and you think woke is back? https://t.co/yJ5R5O4frI

What happens when the woke scolds are the ones doing the homophobia?

Wild to see the former Mayor of San Francisco post homophobic AI slop memes to attack the Trump administration.

Revealing that this is how Newsom has decided to start his 2028 campaign. https://t.co/9zjYRqL2tR

This is the best they've got.

The joke is he’s gay, they’re making fun of Bessent for being gay but don’t you ever say that Scott got under Gavin Newsom’s skin at Davos https://t.co/kv4ZpFquQO

Why does Newsom's crew think this is acceptable? What do they say among themselves?

The Democrat front runner for the presidential nomination literally runs the most homophobic account on this whole app. https://t.co/Gqb1J5lyqO

Remarkable how quickly Democrats appeal to homophobic tropes. https://t.co/6QOlovC99k

Kinda crazy that we’ve reached a point where the Democratic frontrunner can post AI-generated homophobic memes of his opponents as reality TV characters.

Hard to comprehend how much dumber American political culture has become in the last half-decade. https://t.co/qjhH0Q9quJ

This is quite a line of attack for people who complain about supposed bigotry and homophobia. https://t.co/M04BsH4SHs

Clearly, they never actually cared about homophobia.
