Newsom and his wife deliver a rehearsed message stating
2025-12-28
[ZERO] Newsom further referenced "the seven principles of Kwanzaa, in particular community, purpose, and unity, guide our way toward a better future."

Everything about this is focus-grouped and phony. It's the kind of performative nonsense that turns stomachs and highlights how out-of-touch Democrat leaders remain, even after their electoral drubbing.

Who exactly is Newsom trying to impress here? The video is a blatant pander to an almost nonexistent crowd. The tiny sliver of ultra-woke activists who still cling to outdated identity politics? In reality, most Americans – including the vast majority of African Americans – don't celebrate Kwanzaa, given that it is an artificial construct rather than a genuine tradition.

What the Hell Is Kwanzaa, Anyway? no, it isn't some ancient African tradition passed down through generations. It was invented in 1966 by Maulana Karenga, a black separatist and activist, in the wake of the Watts riots. Karenga, whose real name was Ronald McKinley Everett, created it as a non-Christian alternative to Christmas, drawing loosely from various African harvest festivals.
