00:00Is California Governor Gavin Newsom racist? That is what some critics are saying after an
00:05incredibly awkward chat that Newsom had on Sunday night with Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens.
00:11I'm like you. I'm no better than you. You know, I'm a 960 SAT guy.
00:20And, you know, and I'm not trying to offend anyone, you know, trying to act all there if
00:24you got 940, but literally a 960 SAT guy. I cannot. You've never seen me read a speech
00:35because I cannot read a speech. Newsom went on to discuss the dyslexia he struggled with and
00:41how he lives with it today. But some called his comments delivered to a predominantly black
00:45audience racist. Senator Ted Cruz called the moment, quote, the soft bigotry of low expectations.
00:50Nicki Minaj, who has recently become a President Trump stan, posted on X, quote,
00:55his way of bonding with black people is to tell them how stupid he is and that he can't read.
01:00And Fox News host Sean Hannity said that Newsom, quote, thinks a 960 SAT makes him like black
01:06Americans. Let that sink in. Well, that last one was one dig too many for Newsom, who fired back in
01:12a profanity laced response on X. I'll clean it up a bit. But, quote, you didn't give a bleep about
01:18the
01:18president of the United States of America posting an ape video of President Obama or calling African
01:24nations assholes. But you're going to call me racist for talking about my lifelong struggle
01:29with dyslexia. Spare me your fake effing outrage.
