Is California Governor Gavin Newsom a “Christian nationalist?” Considering his speech at a press conference two weeks back, the answer could easily be yes.
Speaking alongside California Attorney General Rob Bonta and Health and Human Services Agency Secretary Kim Johnson on October 28, Gov. Newsom announced legal action against the Trump administration as the federal government’s shutdown began to impact SNAP benefits.
The record-breaking shutdown lasted 43 days. As a result, funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program had expired on November 1, the first funding lapse in the program’s 60-year history, impacting the roughly 42 million Americans who receive SNAP aid.
Thankfully, President Trump signed a continuing resolution (H.R. 5371) on November 12, reopening the government through January and restoring the program’s funding.
At the press conference, Gov. Newsom pointed to his time at Santa Clara University, a Jesuit institution. He was raised Catholic.
“I spent a little time at a wonderful Jesuit university. If there was anything I remember about my four years with Fr. Coz, is that the New Testament and Old Testament have one thing dominantly in common,” Newsom contended, citing Matthew, Isaiah, Luke and Proverbs in particular. “It’s around food. It’s about serving those that are hungry.”
“It’s not a suggestion in the Old [and] the New Testament. It’s core and central to what it is to align to God’s will. Period. Full stop.”
“These guys need to stop the B.S. in Washington,” Newsom continued. “They’re sitting there in their prayer breakfasts. Maybe they got an edited version of [President] Donald Trump’s Bible, and they edited all of that out … Cruelty is the policy.”
