California’s hyper-progressive governor is under fire after he made comments that some deemed “racist.”
According to theNew York Post, Gov. Gavin Newsom stepped into a proverbial minefield after a Sunday event meant to promote his new memoir.
While speaking to Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens — a black man — Newsom appeared to make some curious comments about the intellect of black people.
“I’m not trying to impress you, I’m just trying to impress upon you, ‘I’m like you. I’m no better than you.’ I’m a 960 SAT guy,” Newsom told Dickens, as the audience laughed and applauded.
“And I’m not trying to offend anyone,” Newsom added. “I’m not trying to act all there if you got 940. Literally a 960 SAT guy … I cannot — You’ve never seen me read a speech, because I cannot read a speech.”

The comments set off a firestorm of controversy for the man many presume to be one of the front-runners to secure the Democratic nomination for president in 2028.
The prevailing, unflattering interpretation of Newsom’s remarks was that he was generalizing and denigrating the intelligence of black people.
Florida GOP Rep. Randy Fine took to X, calling Newsom’s remarks “disgusting.”
Gavin Newsom just said he is like a black person because he got a bad SAT score and can’t read.
