Newsom Blames Cancel Culture for Dems' Post-Election Loss in Scathing Interview Exposé

California Governor Gavin Newsom criticized the Democratic Party's 'cancel culture' after prominent Democrats allegedly bailed on his podcast following a controversial interview with Charlie Kirk, a conservative commentator. Newsom expressed frustration that many of his own party members distanced themselves from him in response to the interview. He attributed this phenomenon to the growing trend of cancel culture within the party, which he believes drove away moderate voters and contributed to its loss in the 2024 election. Newsom argued that the Democratic Party's increasingly radical left-wing stance pushed away swing voters and independents.
