Gavin Newsom’s rebrand as a moderate falls apart when Bill Maher calls out California’s rule that kept parents in the dark if their child changed their gender identity.
MAHER: “So what do you say to people who say… ‘Governor, you were the poster boy for a lot of this [woke stuff]’?
“I see today the Trump administration… talked about the fact that California had a rule that schools cannot be required to notify parents if their kids in school have changed their gender, their pronouns.
“That’s the kind of thing, even though it doesn’t affect a lot of people, that makes a lot of people go, ‘Well, you know what? That’s the party without common sense.’”
NEWSOM: “I just disagree with that. I mean, the law was you would be fired, a teacher would be fired if a teacher did not report or snitch on a kid talking about their gender identity. I just think that was wrong. I think teachers should teach. I don’t think they should be required to turn in kids.”
MAHER: “Turning in? We’re talking about their parents. How can you snitch?”
