Governor Gavin Newsom had already established himself as the world’s most woke political leader, a man so dripping in virtue-signalling PC-crazed drivel that he makes even Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau look like a right-wing nutjob.

But this weekend he excelled himself with a barrage of new bills that cement his reputation as a self-righteous, sanctimonious, hypocritical humbug of gargantuan proportions.

Empowered by his recent recall election win, Newsom fired off a raft of laws that included making it illegal to use gas-powered ‘off-road engine engines’ including leaf-blowers, lawn mowers and golf carts, ordered schools to teach all students ‘ethnic studies’, and large toy stores to have gender-neutral sections.

The first will cause huge financial pain to millions of Californians, especially to the 50,000 small businesses it directly effects, for minimal benefit to the environment.

The second has sparked fears of critical race theory now becoming a mandated subject in schools, something that many think will increase racial tension and division rather than heal it.

As for the bill effectively banning gender-specific toys, even the woke-ravaged LA Times slammed it, pointing out that it’s not the government’s job to tell stores how to market their products.
