California Gov. Gavin Newsom is being accused of hypocrisy for vacationing in Montana, a state subject to California’s ban on official travel.
The Democrat and his family are spending the week in the Big Sky state, one of 20 states to which state-sponsored travel is prohibited based on their “discriminatory laws” against LGBTQ people.
The ban under AB 1887 covers state-paid travel, not privately funded trips, but the governor was nonetheless ripped on social media for the trek to allegedly discriminatory Montana after it was first reported on Cal Matters.
“These silly state travel bans are Democrat virtue-signaling at its worst,” said Republican communications strategist Andrew Clark.
