Gavin Newsom calls Trump's anti-DEI agendas anti-Black Getty ImagesCalifornia governor Gavin Newsom ripped into US president Donald Trump’s administration on Saturday, saying the MAGA agenda is “literally putting America in reverse.”“I can’t take what’s going on. Every single day, every single hour, and it’s not even about Dems versus Republicans, it’s about this country and what we stand for,” Newsom said on All the Smoke podcast. The president has called such initiatives “dangerous, demeaning and immoral,” going so far as to blame DEI for airline crashes. It’s about who we are.”“I feel like, anytime you want to make it harder to vote, that means you can’t stand and win with your policy,” Barnes argued. I can write an op-ed and express concern about our country, or we can step up,” Newsom said.
