California Governor Mocks Donald Trump with Fox News Video

California Governor Gavin Newsom used a Fox News clip to jest about Donald Trump’s reading skills. This followed criticism Newsom faced over remarks about his SAT score and dyslexia while promoting his new book.

Gavin Newsom's Comments

The controversy arose when Newsom spoke with Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens about his book "Young Man in a Hurry." Newsom mentioned his SAT score and inability to read speeches. This drew immediate backlash from conservative figures like Sen. Tim Scott and rapper Nicki Minaj.

Senator Scott criticized Newsom for using his academic performance to belittle communities, emphasizing the achievements of Black Americans. The situation escalated when Fox News host Jesse Watters commented on Newsom's potential presidential aspirations and literacy skills.

Social media users highlighted the irony of Watters' remarks, given past questions about Trump's reading abilities. Newsom, who has dyslexia, responded to Watters by pointing to the current president. Throughout his career, Newsom has been open about his dyslexia, even co-authoring a children's book on the topic.
