https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article247222289.htmlGov. Gavin Newsom apologized Monday for attending a birthday party earlier this month, acknowledging his actions undermined the message he’s been preaching for months as he asked other Californians to avoid gathering with their friends and family.
“I made a bad mistake,” Newsom said. “The spirit of what I’m preaching all the time was contradictory, and I’ve got to own that, so I’m going to apologize to you.”
Newsom says when he arrived at his friend and political adviser Jason Kinney’s party at the famed French Laundry restaurant, the crowd at the table was bigger than he anticipated. He should have left then, he said, but instead he and his wife chose to stay.
