California’s golden boy just took the mask off. At an event in San Francisco this week, Gavin Newsom finally said the quiet part out loud, and it wasn’t pretty. While promoting his new self-congratulatory memoir, Young Man in a Hurry, Newsom told a friendly audience that critics were “appropriately” calling Israel an “apartheid” state.That one word — “appropriately” — wasn’t a slip. It was a tell.And a terrifying one.Remember, Newsom is not only the governor of the largest state in the union, but he’s also a top contender, if not the frontrunner, for the 2028 Democratic nomination for president. His words signal not just his own moral collapse but the direction of his party. The Democratic Party’s flirtation with antisemitism has turned into a full-blown affair, and Newsom is now leading the dance.None of this happened overnight. Barack Obama mainstreamed hostility toward Israel within Democratic circles; the antisemitic wing of the party has grown louder and more powerful ever since. Obama taught the base that hostility to the Jewish state and even Jews was not a bug but a feature of the modern left. It only got worse from there. The “Squad” made it fashionable to call Israel a “racist endeavor.” Campus activists followed suit with chants of “Free Palestine” and “From the river to the sea,” and the Democratic Party has realized that this faction of the party is too powerful not to pander to.
