Newsom Draws Fire for Controversial Podcast Guests
California Governor Gavin Newsom is under fire after inviting Steve Bannon and Charlie Kirk as guests on his podcast, "This is Gavin Newsom." The show, intended to foster open discussions, has instead ignited controversy. Criticism has poured in from both parties, with Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear condemning Bannon's appearance, saying it gives "oxygen" to dangerous rhetoric. In contrast, Newsom defends his choice, emphasizing the need for Democrats to explore diverse dialogues. The podcast also touched on issues such as transgender athletes in women's sports. As Newsom's political ambitions are scrutinized, his efforts to connect with various viewpoints are met with divided opinions.
