Gavin Newsom showing up in Davos to praise Canada’s prime minister is not surprising, but it is contemptible. The California governor stood on the global stage lauding Mark Carney’s “courage of convictions,” a move that reads less like principled leadership and more like pandering to elites who think America’s problems are best solved by lecturing our country from abroad.
Conservative commentators were right to call him out, and Benny Johnson didn’t hold back on Jesse Watters Primetime when he blasted Newsom for defending a foreign leader while Californians suffer. That segment crystallized what many Americans already know: Newsom’s priorities are tangled up with Davos talking points and transnational celebrities instead of the hard-working citizens he’s supposed to serve.
Make no mistake, this isn’t a harmless gaffe; it’s a pattern. Newsom’s public embrace of Mark Carney at an elite global forum signals a governor more comfortable with international financiers and press conferences than with running a blue-state bureaucracy collapsing under its own mismanagement.
While he jets off to cozy up with prime ministers and bankers, Californians are left to fend for themselves against rising crime, crushing regulations, and a broken border that drains jobs and resources. That disconnect is not accidental — it’s the product of a political class that treats patriotism as a costume and governance as a networking event. No amount of Davos applause will fix collapsed housing markets or empty storefronts back home.
Americans should pay attention to who our leaders really stand with when the cameras are off. If Newsom’s instinct is to cheer on foreign elites and lecture the American people, then voters must reject that brand of globalist arrogance and choose leaders who put family, faith, and country first.
