Gavin Newsom Spells Out What Ron DeSantis Really Means With ‘Anti-Woke’ www.yahoo.com/entertainment/gavin-newsom-spells-ron-desantis-125622924.html Lee Moran Updated Thu, December 14, 2023 at 11:12 AM MST·1 min read 1.8k
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) on Wednesday explained why he decided to “debate” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Fox News last week, given that Newsom isn’t running for president and GOP candidate DeSantis is trailing so far behind Republican 2024 front-runner Donald Trump in the polls. www.huffpost.com/entry/ron-desantis-gavin-newsom-fox-news-debate_n_65695cade4b07b937ff4384d
“I’ve developed a lot of animus towards him because of his animus toward all of you,” Newsom told “Late Night” host Seth Meyers and his studio audience.
DeSantis “is out there scapegoating vulnerable communities,” he said. “He’s attacking minorities, attacking women and I don’t like it, and I wanted to push back against it.”
Newsom noted that DeSantis is “out there talking about anti-woke,” but he argued the Florida governor actually means “anti-Black.”
“He’s out there censoring historic facts. He’s rewriting history. He eliminated AP African-American studies. He said, ‘Slavery was somehow some workforce development program,’ and he doubled down on that,” Newsom said of DeSantis.
For Newsom, who has admitted to being an avid consumer of Fox News to counter right-wing talking points, he said it was important to “hold these guys accountable on a network where they don’t hear from guys like me, ever.”
He added, “It was an honor” to appear on Fox “to tell the truth about the Biden record and to make the case for Biden’s election.”

Gavin's got that right. As a matter of fact ALL conservative media uses that term. Everyone knows it is a trigger term and dogwhistle to the racist side of their conservative audience. Beck and the Blaze, Hannity, Ben Ferguson, FOX...just about every conservative outlet uses it. It is even promoted in their commercials. Locally we have businesses including Pest Control and radio station advertisements themselves using it. I have no doubt it came from one of those elite well funded STINK TANKS that writes conservative medias talking points to push daily. Newsom is just the person to take on this CULT. Like me he watches and listens to conservative media so others on the Left don't have to. Then we report and fight back. So glad to see many many more like us fighting back on these types of forums that allow it, especially yahoo.
