Here's what he actually said, in response to a request for comment from Fox:
[quote]The legacy of slavery “is about much more than cash payments. The Reparations Task Force’s independent findings and recommendations are a milestone in our bipartisan effort to advance justice and promote healing. This has been an important process, and we should continue to work as a nation to reconcile our original sin of slavery and understand how that history has shaped our country.
Many of the recommendations put forward by the Task Force are critical action items we’ve already been hard at work addressing: breaking down barriers to vote, bolstering resources to address hate, enacting sweeping law enforcement and justice reforms to build trust and safety, strengthening economic mobility — all while investing billions to root out disparities and improve equity in housing, education, healthcare, and well beyond. This work must continue
Following the Task Force’s submission of its final report this summer, I look forward to a continued partnership with the Legislature to advance systemic changes that ensure an inclusive and equitable future for all Californians.[/quote]
This statement was sent to Fox, in response to an inquiry by the latter. Here's the Fox headline, following Gov Newsom's statement:
[quote]California Gov. Newsom declines to back reparations checks, says slavery's legacy is 'more than cash payments'[/quote]
