Gavin Newsom Condemns Trump’s 9/11 Claims as ‘Absolutely Disgusting’ Lie
California Governor Gavin Newsom has sharply criticized former President Donald Trump over his recurring account of where he was during the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, labeling the narrative an “absolutely disgusting” lie.
Newsom’s Forceful Rebuke
The Democratic governor’s condemnation came in response to Trump’s remarks at a Tuesday event honoring 9/11 emergency responders. During the ceremony, the former president repeated a story he has told previously regarding his whereabouts and actions on the day of the attacks.
Newsom did not mince words in his assessment, directly accusing Trump of fabricating a false narrative surrounding the national tragedy. The phrase “absolutely disgusting” underscores the intensity of the governor’s objection to the former president’s version of events.
Recurring 9/11 Narrative Draws Scrutiny
Trump has frequently recounted his personal experience of 9/11 in public speeches and interviews over the years. His latest retelling at a formal commemoration event has reignited debate over the accuracy of his claims, drawing a forceful rebuttal from one of his most prominent Democratic rivals.
