...the Mitt Romneyesque mayor of San Francisco as it transformed itself into Poopville, currently governor of California as it transforms itself into Cinderland...resurfaced Tuesday after two weeks out of the public eye, saying he skipped the U.N. Climate Change Conference in Scotland to go trick-or-treating with his family — and work on pressing state issues.
The last time Newsom communicated with the public was Oct. 27, when he flexed his muscles after receiving a COVID vaccine booster shot. His absence led to speculation by some he possibly suffered an adverse reaction to the vaccine.
But he reemerged Tuesday to talk about the phenomenal economic recovery of California following a year of lockdowns and subsequent exodus so massive the state lost a House seat.
"I’ve been on this damn treadmill ... crisis to crisis. Wildfires, COVID, the recall," Newsom said. "I signed up to go to Europe, I was ready to go, and I had this dinner, and the kids had an intervention. They couldn’t believe I was going to miss Halloween."
Newsom said Halloween is more significant for his children than Christmas, and he woke up the next morning "with a knot in my stomach." That’s when he canceled the trip and went trick-or-treating dressed up as a pirate instead. He also took his children to his office for a week at the Capitol.
"We would all do well taking some time away from social media," Newsom said.
Newsom closed his talk on a personal note, addressing the booster shot many speculated had felled the Golden State’s controversial governor.
"Get that booster shot. It’s safe, it will save your life," he said. "Literally, the flu shot is what I’m a little sore [from in my arm], not the booster shot."
