California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom’s office said the media was inaccurately reporting his previous comments that he did not support paying reparations to black slave descendants in Californians.
According to his chief advisor, the governor is open to the idea of the high-priced payments.
“The sensationalized framing in pieces published by outlets like Fox News and others is inaccurate,” Anthony York, Newsom’s chief communication advisor told The Sacramento Bee. “The Governor looks forward to reviewing the final report — and all recommendations — when complete.”
From The Daily Wire:
Newsom, who appointed five of the nine task force members, praised the committee’s work to “advance systemic changes” — but stopped short of endorsing its recommendation for cash payouts. The governor told Fox News Digital on Tuesday that finding a way to address the “legacy” left behind by the institution of slavery was a complicated issue that was “about much more than cash payments.”
