Pupils have begun returning to school as lockdown restrictions were eased across England.
Outdoor markets and car showrooms have also started reopening, while the first horse racing event in months was being staged and pigeons took to the skies for a race over Yorkshire.
Pushaw claimed, in a post on X, that because Governor Newsom and First Partner Siebel Newsom are in a committed heteronormative marriage with four children, they're hypocrites for any support they show for LGBTQ+ equality and nontraditional families.
While Newsom has received backlash for throwing trans rights under the bus—especially regarding sports—while speaking with conservative podcasters, as of December 2025 Newsom has signed 47 pro-LGBTQ+ bills with 21 specifically benefiting transgender people according to Advocate magazine.
So, naturally, being married to a cisgender woman makes Newsom a hypocrite.
Pushaw posted:
"What I find interesting about the Newsoms is that they both relentlessly promote liberal/left ideologies that are corrosive to family formation and undermine traditional values. However, at the same time, they've been in a heterosexual marriage for 20+ years and have 4 children together. By those measures, they are more 'trad' in terms of their own lifestyle than most Americans are, even a lot of conservatives aren't married with 4 kids."
"So what that tells me is the Newsoms KNOW that the traditional family model is the best; that's why they chose it when they both could've chosen anything else. But as elites they still promote insidious ideologies that end up harming the ordinary people who listen to them. It's a perfect illustration of 'luxury beliefs.'"

When people failed to understand Pushaw's big gotcha point, she tried to explain that empathy or support for anyone not exactly like yourself was hypocritical.
Pushaw explained her point in a series of comments, writing:
"The point is the elite educated libs don’t actually raise their own kids with the left-wing ideology that they’re preaching about to the rest of us. They aren’t trying to trans their own children; they are pushing that agenda on middle America. The Newsom kids will be fine, I think they can tel that their mother is an actress playing a part in front of an audience. I’m sure she didn’t actually gender-swap characters in stories she read to her sons."

"lol, honestly I think they have a great life including their dog. My problem with them is that they’re pushing an agenda that’s the opposite of what they’re doing for themselves, and they’re influencing too many Americans to reject traditional values and live their lives in a less fulfilling way that the Newsoms would never."
@ChristinaPushaw/X
"She says the craziest things. And yet, she is married for longer and has more kids than most conservative influencers"
@ChristinaPushaw/X
Some equally confused individuals considered it wrong for anyone in what they considered a traditional marriage to support the rights of others.
But most responses attempted to educate Pushaw and her ilk on the concepts of empathy and MYOFB.

Pushaw's hot take went viral across social media.
Feminist News Now shared screenshots on Instagram captioned:
"Here's the thing conservatives never figure out: you can have your big family, your golden retriever, your Sunday roasts, and your white picket fence — and still mind your own damn business about what everyone else does with theirs. Living your values doesn't require legislating everyone else's. The Newsoms aren't out here trying to force you to make documentary films or give your sons dolls. And yet somehow, the people who claim to be all about 'freedom' are the ones most consumed — most miserable — about how strangers they'll never meet choose to live and love."
"Friendly reminder that Gavin Newsom — the man conservatives love to hate — has been married to the same blonde, Stanford-educated wife for 17 years, has four kids, lives in Marin County wine country, and posts anniversary photos like a wholesome family man. His wife Jennifer is a documentary filmmaker and gender equality advocate who gives their sons dolls and takes their kids on road trips to learn about the world."
"The irony is that the people shrieking about 'traditional family values' can't seem to enjoy their own traditional families because they're too busy being furious about yours."
"Turns out freedom is actually a liberal value. Who knew."
Responses on Instagram mirrored those on other platforms.

Pushaw's prior brush with celebrity was when she labeled acknowledging the existence of LGBTQ+ people "grooming" to try to quell backlash against Florida's "Don't Say Gay" bill that Republicans pushed through the Florida state legislature and DeSantis signed into law.
Pushaw posted on Twitter:
Funny how Pushaw was silent while Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi looked the other way as convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein continued to groom and abuse girls at his Palm Beach estate.
Epstein continued to sexually abuse and traffic underage girls in Florida during the years Bondi served as Florida's AG (2011–2019).
In a 2020 report by the Department of Justice, Bondi was criticized for never investigating his activities, despite his 2008 conviction for crimes committed in Florida and his lifetime requirement to register as a sex offender.
Kelly said on her podcast that she was “sick of this sh*t,” stressing that threatening to "wipe out an entire civilization" crosses a line. Meanwhile, conspiracy theorist Jones went further, advocating for Trump’s removal via the 25th Amendment.
Trump claimed they support Iran having nuclear weapons and dismissed them as “low IQ” individuals who have lost relevance, arguing they’ve been pushed off mainstream television and now rely on “third-rate podcasts” for attention. Trump insisted their views contradict the MAGA base and said his electoral success proves they are out of touch.
He also took personal jabs at each figure: mocking Carlson’s career and education, criticizing Kelly over past interview clashes, attacking Owens for controversial claims about France’s first lady, and ridiculing Jones for his past statements about the Sandy Hook shooting and resulting legal consequences.
He wrote:
"I know why Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones have all been fighting me for years, especially by the fact that they think it is wonderful for Iran, the Number One State Sponsor of Terror, to have a Nuclear Weapon — Because they have one thing in common, Low IQs. They’re stupid people, they know it, their families know it, and everyone else knows it, too!"
"Look at their past, look at their record. They don’t have what it takes, and they never did! They’ve all been thrown off Television, lost their Shows, and aren’t even invited on TV because nobody cares about them, they’re NUT JOBS, TROUBLEMAKERS, and will say anything necessary for some “free” and cheap publicity."
"Now they think they get some “clicks” because they have Third Rate Podcasts, but nobody’s talking about them, and their views are the opposite of MAGA — Or I wouldn’t have won the Presidential Election in a LANDSLIDE."
"MAGA agrees with me, and just gave CNN a 100% Approval Rating of “TRUMP,” not Hand Flailing Fools like Tucker Carlson, who couldn’t even finish College, he was a broken man when he got fired from Fox, and he’s never been the same — Perhaps he should see a good psychiatrist!"
"Or Megyn Kelly, who nastily asked me the now famous, “Only Rosie O’Donnell,” question, or “Crazy” Candace Owens, who accuses the Highly Respected First Lady of France of being a man, when she is not, and will hopefully win lots of money in the ongoing lawsuit."
Actually, to me, the First Lady of France is a far more beautiful woman than Candace, in fact, it’s not even close! Or Bankrupt Alex Jones, who says some of the dumbest things, and lost his entire fortune, as he should have, for his horrendous attack on the families of the Sandy Hook shooting victims, ridiculously claiming it was a hoax."
Trump called them “losers” trying to “latch on to MAGA” and claiming that mainstream outlets like CNN and The New York Times are now praising them for the first time.
He argued that these commentators are not truly aligned with his movement and suggested he could win them over if he wanted, but chooses not to engage, saying he is focused on “world and country affairs.” He also accused them of turning “nasty” after being ignored, comparing them to Marjorie Taylor Greene, whom he labeled a “traitor" (and referred to as "Brown").
He wrote:
"These so-called “pundits” are LOSERS, and they always will be! Now Fake News CNN, The Failing New York Times, and all of the other Radical Left “News” Organizations, are “hailing” them, and giving them “positive” press for the first time in their lives. They’re not “MAGA,” they’re losers, just trying to latch on to MAGA."
"As President, I could get them on my side anytime I want to, but when they call, I don’t return their calls because I’m too busy on World and Country Affairs and, after a few times, they go “nasty,” just like Marjorie “Traitor” Brown, but I no longer care about that stuff, I only care about doing right for our Country."
"MAGA is about WINNING and STRENGTH in not allowing Iran to have Nuclear Weapons. MAGA is about MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, and these people have no idea how to do that, BUT I DO, because THE UNITED STATES IS NOW THE “HOTTEST” COUNTRY ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD!"

In response, CNN shared a montage of Trump praising these same people.
Trump once—to applause—described Kelly as "incredible" for "rip[ping] some poor idiot apart." He also referred to a beaming Carlson as "the greatest interviewer." Owens, in his estimation, was once someone "with star power" whom he simply "looked at and sa[id], 'That's a star.'"
Of Jones, he once said the following during an appearance on InfoWars:
"I just want to say something about your reputation: You're amazing. I will not let you down."
In response, Jones praised Trump's "knowledge of geopolitical systems."
You can see the montage below.
The fact that Trump is more than willing to tear into them all so mercilessly despite once having fawned over them showed once again that with Trump, loyalty is fleeting.
In response to Trump's ramblings, Owens had this to say:
"It may be time to put Grandpa up in a home."
You can see her post below.
It's well past time, Candace.
This unfortunately could lead to unhealthy relationships, visits from the public to their homes, and even stalking.
These were the things that TikToker Melissa Ann Marie was concerned about when she was working with a designer who wanted to display her kitchen remodel in their portfolio online, which could potentially doxx her to her community of over 185,000 followers, not including the many people who might be watching without following her account.
In the text overlay of the video, Marie wrote:
"My kitchen designer canceled my $40K remodel because I wouldn't pay a privacy fee to keep my home off their social media."
In the video, the TikToker then explained that there was a clause in the contract, stating that the designer had the right to portray the home on their website, portfolio, and social media accounts. In Marie's case, that would include her location, the front of her home, the supplies used to create her kitchen, and her kitchen before and after the remodel.
If a customer complied with this clause, there would be no extra charge. To get out of the clause, a customer would be charged an "inconvenience fee" of $300, because the designer found it inconvenient to miss out on the chance to update their portfolio.
Because the kitchen designer was so localized, with their location being a big part of their branding, it would be very easy for a person to look at the photographs of Marie's kitchen design and locate her home, based on her home's distinctive qualities and the location of the kitchen designer's business.
But when Marie voiced her concerns as a public figure, the designer pushed back, stating that she would have to pay the $300 like anyone else.
Since she was upfront about her concerns, Marie did not think this was fair and requested that the clause be omitted from her contract. Despite being an influencer, she was paying for the design in full, rather than receiving some or all of it in a collaboration.
It also seemed more plausible to her that the designer should be paying their customers to use their property for their portfolio, rather than customers having to pay to preserve their privacy, after already paying the designer for their services.
The designer did not appreciate this feedback and canceled the entire design job, costing their own company $40,000 instead of simply omitting the $300.
You can watch the first video here:
To make the situation worse, the company soon saw Marie's TikTok and sent her a series of messages, confronting her about "defaming" their company, despite her omitting the company's name and location.
They continued to argue with Marie about her initial privacy concerns before stating that they were in the process of contacting their lawyer to organize a "defamation" charge against her.

Viewers were on Marie's side and felt this could slip into California's anti-coercion laws.

It's understandable that the kitchen designer is trying to grow their business in their community, and working with social media influencers and other people in the public eye could potentially create a huge boost in their business.
But there are right and wrong ways to gain publicity and grow as a business. Coercing someone into sharing their private property and the location of their home definitely lands on the "wrong" side of doing business.
She first listened to ideas of where her children would like to vacation to before she shared her first wish: a week-long trip with her family in Florida, starting immediately.
As if called by magic, her husband walked in, stating that their flight was leaving in two and a half hours, and their bags were already packed.
For her second wish, TikToker @crystelmontenegrohome was pleased to be going on a trip with her husband and children, but she really wanted her children's grandmother to be able to go with them. After making her second wish, her children found their grandma in the hallway outside their hotel room in Florida.
For her third and final wish, the mom waited until the family was piled into the car, driving through Florida to their unknown destination. Once they could see a port nearby, with several cruise ships docked, the TikToker appeared inspired and said that she knew what her third wish would be.
But her children did not have the reaction she was hoping for.
When she announced that she wanted to go on a cruise with her family, her children collectively began crying in the car. This was not a typical situation where one child starts crying, and the others mimic the behavior; these were genuine reactions that filled the car with emotional mayhem.
Shocked but laughing, the mom said:
"I can't believe this is happening."
As it turns out, the family had been on one cruise together before, and they all became incredibly ill as a result of that trip. The children, being quite young, had probably associated cruise ships with terrible illness.
But the TikToker had booked a Disney cruise specifically to put the magic back into the cruise experience.
Fortunately, based on the rest of the video, filled with clips from the cruise, it appeared the children changed their tune and had fun on their week-long vacation.
But one could never unhear those first cries of disappointment, over a cruise of all things!
You can watch the video here:
Some TikTokers were touched by the kids' excitement to find their grandma in the hall.

The children's reactions were more understandable once it was revealed that they had previous cruise experience, and bad previous experience at that, but it was still a hilarious example of parenting.
Try as they might to create a magical experience that would lead to a magical surprise trip, they couldn't get on that cruise without a little crying first!
