Governor Gavin Newsom says California is 'done' with Walgreens, but it's unclear what that means exactly
[10 News] Dyslexic Brylcreem Gov speaks threats without thinking. POTUS 2024 2028!
There is a lot of confusion following California Governor Gavin Newsom's tweet Monday saying the state was "done" with Walgreens.

Keli Gadson often picks up her dad's prescriptions at Walgreens on Euclid in Lincoln Park.

"My dad is 70 years old and this is the closest spot for him to get his medication," said Gadson.

Monday Governor Newsom tweeted that "California won't be doing business with Walgreens or any company that cowers to the extremists and puts women's lives at risk. We're done. "

Gadson worries about what that might mean for the people who rely on this pharmacy.

"Good luck. They're wasting their time. You got apartment complexes everywhere women with children. This is convenient for them. It’s right next to a trolley station," said Gadson.

The governor made the announcement after the pharmacy chain's decision last week not to dispense abortion pills in roughly twenty states where Republican lawmakers have threatened legal action.

California is home to roughly 600 Walgreens.

"I appreciate the fact that they’re supporting women’s rights and trying to overall support that movement," said Haley Norwood.

Norwood agrees with the governor's position but has questions about how "cutting ties" with the pharmacy might affect people who use Medi-Cal to get their prescriptions.

#7 Hypocrisy Warning Level 11! Newsom wants Walgreens to break Other States' Laws but obey all of California's laws (and whatever silly edict His Majesty Gavin decrees).
