When Ted Cruz went on vacation with his family to Cancún during the Texas winter storm of 2021, he was roundly criticized for leaving his state to vacation while many were without power.
Well today we learn that California Governor Gavin Newsom has done the same thing, leaving his state during an epic winter storm to take a ‘personal trip’ to Baja California, Mexico.
Here’s more via Fox News:
The office of California Gov. Gavin Newsom told Fox News Digital that the Democrat has “returned to the state” after taking a “personal trip in Baja California” while residents were dealing with the aftermath of devastating winter storms that dumped as much as 10 feet of snow.
It remains unclear why Newsom opted to travel out of California during the storm situation, as well as after declaring a state of emergency in 13 counties, including Los Angeles, on Wednesday due to the weather.
Critics roasted Newsom for being away after he reportedly left for the Mexico region following a visit to the Diablo Canyon power plant in Avila Beach.
“The Governor was on a personal trip in Baja California,” his office told Fox News Digital late Monday night. “He returned to the state on Sunday, meeting with emergency personnel at the State Operations Center and receiving a briefing on current conditions.”
I’m sure the media will be quick to jump on Newsom for abandoning Californians who are suffering under this massive winter storm.
You know, just like they did with Ted Cruz in 2021.
Newsom will be the butt of many jokes on late night TV for leaving Californians without food and power in his state to go tan under the Mexican sun. Yeah sure he will.
