Photos of a young Gavin Newsom have surfaced online that refute a claim he made during a book tour stop in Georgia earlier this week, during which he also remarked a mostly black audience that many viewed as highly racist. When sharing a stage with Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens, Newsom said, “I’m not trying to impress you. I’m just trying to impress upon you, ‘I’m like you.’ I’m no better than you. I’m a 960 SAT guy.” But photos that have since surfaced on social media indicate that Newsom’s family was extremely privileged, well-to-do, and highly connected to people like the oil magnate Getty family.
