California Governor Gavin Newsom’s recent trip to China took an unexpected turn when he had an unusual encounter during a basketball game. The incident, caught on video, shows Newsom colliding with a young child and then, in a bizarre twist, spanking the child as he tried to recover from the fall.
In the video footage, Newsom appears to be attempting to showcase his basketball skills when the unexpected collision occurs. After the collision, rather than offering a helping hand, Newsom is seen spanking the child, leaving many bewildered by his actions.
Newsom’s visit to China included a meeting with the country’s President, Xi Jinping, which sparked rumors that he might be considering a ‘shadow campaign’ to potentially replace Joe Biden in the future. During his trip, Newsom faced criticism for displaying a $160,000 Chinese electric truck, raising concerns about his priorities as Californians grapple with high taxes, a homelessness crisis, rising crime rates, and significant issues related to illegal immigration.
In addition to his visit to China, Newsom made an unexpected stop in Israel before his China trip. During his time in Israel, he expressed a sense of connection between his home state of California and the nation of Israel, emphasizing the shared experiences of facing difficult challenges. He acknowledged the ongoing struggles in Israel against terrorism, characterized by both heroism and tragedy.
The unusual basketball incident involving Governor Newsom in China garnered significant attention and prompted discussions about his actions during a diplomatic visit. Critics argued that the incident may distract from more pressing issues facing California, such as the state’s economic and social challenges. It remains to be seen how this incident will impact Newsom’s political career and his relations with other nations.
