Newsom trashes suggestions he supports a wealth tax after Wall Street Journal editorial

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) emphatically pushed back against suggestions that he supports a controversial wealth tax proposal in the Golden State.

This week, the Wall Street Journal’s editorial board released an op-ed railing against a Democratic bill that would try to close California’s massive budget deficit by instituting a wealth tax. The editorial never said Newsom supports such a proposal, although it led with a photo of the California governor alongside the piece.
