Newsom Ripped for 'I'm Like You' SAT Remark to Black Mayor
California Governor Gavin Newsom faces fierce backlash after telling Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens and a Black audience "I'm like you" while boasting about his dismal 960 SAT score and admitting he "cannot read a speech" due to dyslexia. Speaking at an event promoting his memoir, Newsom aimed to bond over shared struggles, but critics blast it as liberal racism and condescension, implying Black voters share his academic woes.
