"At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Smith read through several insults from President Donald Trump’s administration, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who referred to Newsom as “Patrick Bateman meets Sparkle Beach Ken.” Newsom called the constant online insults “very unbecoming,” but said that his office needed to call out Trump’s so-called “absurdity.”
" 'The Treasury Secretary described you as Patrick Bateman meets Sparkle Beach Ken,” Smith said. “The White House Communications Director called you Gavin Newscum and an official White House account, a federal government account, described you as a very online sexual slur that people here probably don’t want to hear at 8:30 in the morning … Is that kind of discourse from you, from them good for America?”
" 'No, it’s deeply unbecoming. Come on, of course it is. It’s not what we should be doing,” Newsom said. “But you’ve got to point out the absurdity, you’ve got to put a mirror up to this. This is madness.”
"Bessent made the retort against Newsom on Wednesday after the California governor brought knee pads to the event so world leaders could bend the knee to Trump more easily. He accused Newsom of being economically illiterate and self-absorbed.
" 'Governor Newsom, who strikes me as Patrick Bateman meets Sparkle Beach Ken, may be the only Californian who knows less about economics than Kamala Harris,” Bessent said. “He’s here this week with his billionaire sugar daddy, Alex Soros, and Davos is a perfect place for a man who, when everyone else is on lockdown, when he was having people arrested for going to church.”
"White House Director of Communications Steven Cheung compared Newsom to a “petulant child who can’t control his emotions.” . . .
