A lefty podcaster is taking California Gov. Gavin Newsom to task for dishing out some “breathtakingly dangerous” advice to the party, the New York Post reported.

Newsome during an interview with CNN on Monday called on Democrats to be “more culturally normal.”

“From a tactical perspective, from the prism of purely politics, there’s no doubt that the Democratic Party needs to be, dare I say, more culturally normal,” Newsom said.

Newsom continued: “I believe that – less prone to spending a disproportionate amount of time on pronouns, identity, politics, more focused on tabletop issues, things that really matter, the stacking of stress in terms of electricity bills and childcare costs and healthcare and obviously housing costs and how easily we get trapped in that, how I’ve fallen prey to that.”

“I’ve Had It” podcast host Jennifer Welch said that Newsom’s comments amounted to “political suicide.”

Said Welch: “What you’re saying, Gov. Newsom, is breathtakingly dangerous.”

She continued: “And you’re ceding ground to the narratives that Republicans try to define free people that mind their own business that stand up for everything. You’re allowing their bulls–t narratives to define Americans, and it is utterly disgraceful.”

Welch also slammed Newsom for appearing to take advice from “corporate Democrats” on trying to move to the political center.

Said Welch: “He is adamantly against a billionaire tax, which I just think, my god, that’s a layup right now. Tax the billionaires. It is not even remotely a liberal thing. It is a moderate position from both parties. But here’s Gavin Newsom as he continues his death march to the center.”
