California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) lost his cool during a recent interview, complaining that he has been “taking a lot” of heat from the media in the past year.
Newsom, who faces a recall effort in mere weeks, is seen snapping at reporters during an interview conducted last week by the Sacramento Bee, according to video clips that have gone viral on social media.
“It would be nice if our homegrown team would be focusing on what’s right,” a frustrated Newsom lamented. “Everybody outside this state is bitching about this state.”
“Guys, forgive me, I know I am a little pointed today, but I’ve been taking a lot from you folks for a lot of months,” the governor added. “I should be able to express myself, too.”
