California Gov. Gavin Newsom's office claims he was denied entry into a venue at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Jan. 21.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office said the governor was denied entry into a venue at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Jan. 21, after being invited to speak at the event due to “pressure” from the Trump administration.

Newsom had been scheduled to speak with Fortune at the USA House, Davos, a privately organized event, at the World Economic Forum, which has been recognized by the U.S. government as the nation’s headquarters in Davos.

    I would argue that this strengthens his campaign. Puts him in the spotlight more than if he had spoken.

      He’s gonna save America from Trump! I can smell the “liberating” narratives already, lol. Then shit will continue going down the drain and the Confederates/Republicans/Conservatives/MAGA will be upset and in some years you’ll have an already popular MAGA dude run for president and win, and it goes on and on. Maybe the Democrats will sprinkle some seasoning and have a brown “Muslim” dude or black woman president then, which will only annoy racist MAGA even more, making the next Republican candidate very popular and etc.
