Gavin Newsom wants you to believe that he is defined by growing up lower-middle class and spending his childhood eating frozen lasagna and Wonder Bread. That’s the story he spins in his new book, Young Man in a Hurry: A Memoir of Discovery, which was published Tuesday.
This is a truly laughable angle. Gavin Newsom has lived an incredibly charmed life. Browbeating the public into believing otherwise is going to require countering significant evidence to the contrary.
