Gavin Newsom distracts from his dismal gas-price record

Recall the iconic scene in “The Naked Gun” with fire, explosions and rockets behind Leslie Nielsen as his character deadpans: “Nothing to see here! Please disperse!”

That’s the same thing Gavin Newsom does.

With a record of wreckage behind him, the governor calmly prods the crowds to look away.

In the latest example, Newsom called on X for a boycott of Chevron this Memorial Day weekend, alleging Big Oil profiteering on gas and urging motorists to buy cheaper “unbranded” gas instead.

Why would Big Oil price-gouge in just one state out of 50?

The truth is, Newsom’s climate policies have delivered gas prices in California that are 35% to 50% higher in the Golden State than in other states in the US.

And it’s not as though Chevon is the only “branded” gas.
