“California has real problems: Businesses are struggling, families can’t afford to live here, and destroyed homes still haven’t been rebuilt,” CABIA says. “Californians need a Governor, not an Influencer.”

The ad reacts to the Governor’s ongoing social media frenzy and shows Newsom sporting a clown costume, holding up a smartphone, and features a mock X post saying “Gavin, your tweets are embarrassing California. Stop acting like a #CLOWN.”

The ad says:

California has real problems: Businesses are struggling; families can’t afford to live here; destroyed homes still haven’t been rebuilt; unions and trial lawyers are ruining the state’s reputation. Rather than solving these problems, our Governor is wasting time on social media and bringing shame on our state. It’s time for Gavin
to get offline and get back to work.

“It’s time for Gavin to get offline and get back to work.”
