Arrr mateys! Gov. Gavin Newsom of the cursed land of California be gettin' a right good ribbin' from them scurvy conservatives for claimin' his realm be a model for fightin' homelessness. Methinks they be talkin' out of their barnacle-covered behinds!
Governor Gavin Newsom, D-California, faced backlash from conservatives online after boasting about California being a "national model" for addressing homelessness among veterans and those with mental health issues. Critics ridiculed the idea, pointing out that California has one of the highest homeless populations in the U.S.During Newsom's press conference, where he highlighted the state's efforts to tackle the problem, Rep. Kevin Kiley, R-California, called it "the height of delusion." Newsom promoted Proposition 1, a ballot measure passed in March, which aims to address homelessness by increasing investments in housing and substance abuse programs.Despite Newsom's claims of progress, California's homeless population continued to rise, with reports showing a 6% increase compared to the previous year. The state currently has about one-third of the entire nation's homeless population, leading to criticism of Newsom's leadership in addressing the crisis.Conservatives mocked Newsom's assertion of California being a "national model" for homelessness, citing the state's ongoing struggle with the issue and the lack of improvement despite billions of dollars spent on solutions.Newsom's office did not respond to requests for comment on the criticism.
