SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Gov. Gavin Newsom accused Fox News of airing a “doom loop about California” while quibbling with conservative talk show host Sean Hannity over taxes, guns and the state’s population loss, in the second of a two-part interview that aired Friday.
Mostly interrupting one another, Newsom deflected charges about Californians fleeing the state while Hannity pressed his belief that California would be better off if its leaders applied conservative governance strategies.
“I would argue to you that if you lower taxes or deregulation standards, California would be a net migration state,” Hannity told Newsom. “But I know you’re not gonna agree with that.”
