Origin
In late February 2021, an email newsletter pushed a campaign to recall California Gov. Gavin Newsom. The first of several points made in the email pertained to an incident from Nov. 6, 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic. On that night, Newsom was said to have dined with lobbyists at the posh French Laundry restaurant in Napa Valley. Photographs also purportedly showed him mask-less, including when he was away from the table.
The mass email described the incident as one in a “series of failures”:
Dear (name), a fellow California voter,
You probably saw the news or have experienced the failures of Gavin Newsom yourself. California’s public schools statewide remain closed while private schools just miles away are open. Gavin Newsom’s inability or unwillingness to open our schools is going to create an education gap for our students that will be felt for decades. The Sacramento Bee reported that individuals are fleeing the public school system by the thousands!
