California Governor Gavin Newsom is rationalizing his absence from
the public eye and the United Nations Climate Change Conference. On
Tuesday, the Democrat made his first public appearance in 13-days at the
California Economic Summit in Monterey.
Rumors about Newsom’s health circulated since his disappearance on
October 27 when he received a COVID-19 vaccine booster suggesting the
governor was possibly hiding a reaction to the shot. When asked about
his unusually low profile, however, Newsom claimed he had what he says
was an “intervention” from his kids who were upset he was going to be
absent for Halloween.
Prior to his trick-or-treating obligations, the governor was
scheduled to lead a delegation of state lawmakers and environmental
leaders at the climate change conference in Scotland to make the case
that California needs national and international partners to join their
supposed fight against global warming. Newsom was expected to tout
California’s plans to phase-out the sale of new gasoline-powered
vehicles by 2035.
The United Nations Climate Conference runs through this Friday, November
12. Yet, after the productive work week of dress-up, soccer tournaments
and selfies, the governor still had a full weekend planned. Instead of
speaking to the world about how his state is grappling with wildfires,
droughts, oil spills and wrestling with a reliance on fossil fuels, the
California governor attended the star-studded wedding for billionaire
oil heiress Ivy Getty. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was also in attendance
on Saturday to officiate the wedding.
