    This is what he felt the need to apologize for:

    “A lot of Democrats have looked at the Netanyahu regime and felt like, you know what, we don’t like his trajectory; that it’s time to rethink the U.S. relationship with Israel, especially military support,” Vietor said.

    Newsom responded:

    “The issue of Bibi (Netanyahu) is interesting because he’s got his own domestic issues. He’s trying to stay out of jail. He’s got an election coming up. He’s potentially on the ropes. He’s got folks, the hard line, that want to annex the West Bank. Friedman and others are talking about it appropriately as sort of an apartheid state.”

    Co-host Jon Favreau then pressed him directly:

    “Do you think, looking down the road, that the United States should consider maybe rethinking our military support for Israel?”

    Newsom answered:

    “It breaks my heart, because the current leadership in Israel is walking us down that path where I don’t think you have a choice but that consideration.”

    He’s not even allowed to say that some day things might hypothetically get bad enough where they may need to consider not funding Israels genocides with a blank check…

    He shouldn’t hold any sort of political office.
