The criticism spread rapidly across social media, with conservative commentators mocking the remarks and questioning Newsom’s political judgment as he is widely viewed as a potential 2028 Democratic presidential contender

After Fox News host Sean Hannity highlighted the controversy, Newsom fired back on X, referencing his dyslexia and accusing critics of selective outrage.

“You didn’t give a s— about the President of the United States of America posting an ape video of President Obama or calling African nations s—holes — but you’re going to call me racist for talking about my lifelong struggle with dyslexia?” Newsom wrote. “Spare me your fake f—ing outrage, Sean.”
