Gavin Newsom doesn’t mind trampling on the rainbow flag — just ask his critics

When put plainly, it sounds insane.

That is what this putz thinks will win over hearts and minds and propel him to Washington in 2028 — bullying and hair gel.

Well, all it’s doing is making Newsom look like an LGBTQIA-hole.
