Absolutely disgusting news out of California:
Gavin Newsom gave his close family friends $500,000 from the Pacific Palisades fire aid relief money.
- Getty family members donated over $500,000 to Newsom’s campaigns from his 1990s San Francisco supervisor run through his 2018 gubernatorial victory (e.g., bundled contributions via family trusts). This does not include the public J. Paul Getty Trust
- The Getty family’s support has extended to Newsom’s political rise, with shared social circles including figures like Nancy Pelosi and Jerry Brown
- Gordon Getty invested in all 11 of Newsom’s early ventures, holding lead stakes
- A Getty family trust paid Newsom directly for investment consulting in the early 1990s
- Gordon and Ann Getty provided undocumented gifts and low-interest loans for Newsom’s home purchases, including real estate in San Francisco
Is anyone surprised?
Where’s Bernie Sanders and AOC with their angry accusations about billionaires? And their disdain for elitist insiders … like Newsom and the Gettys? Oh well … billionaire “Trusts” – good! Actual billionaires -bad!?
Non-profit Trusts paying executives $3.7M/yr – good!!
For-profit Businesses actually making and producing useful things – bad!!?
Speaking of “lucky” billionaires, how about this story?

Yeah right.
At whose house? A wealthy Dem donor?
