Part 2/6:
The Irony of Newsom's Statements
Critics have pointed out the irony in Newsom’s statements, arguing that these are not minor shifts in language but rather fundamental departures from principles he once championed. Some commentators have drawn attention to previous endorsements of the term by Newsom himself. Indeed, both on social media and during public appearances, he had previously employed “Latinx” multiple times. This has left many questioning the authenticity of his recent comments and the motivations behind them.
