Gavin Newsom roasted for picture of him reading 'banned books' he says states are 'afraid of'
Fox News
California Gov. Gavin Newsom was slammed Thursday after posing for a photo at a restaurant that showed him reading "banned" books.
Newsom appeared to reference bills in states, such as Tennessee, that would require schools to scan their libraries and make sure all books are age appropriate and deem certain books "obscene."
"I bought some plastic drinking straws for the same reason. The store put them in a plastic bag," lawyer Ted Frank of the Hamilton Law Institute said. He also appeared to take a dig at the increased crime throughout the state of California by suggesting Newsom "be a victim of a carjacking to see why so many other states prosecute crime."
