民主党籍加州州长加文·纽瑟姆在本月发布的采访中承认，该州在新冠疫情期间关闭海滩的决定“事后看来荒唐至极”，此举引发了网络上的强烈反弹。
“听着，事后诸葛亮人人都是，所以你懂的，本可以、本应该，”纽瑟姆在蒙大拿州一条河流中飞钓时告诉塔珀。
当被问及本可以做出哪些不同的应对时，纽瑟姆表示，人们最初将这场疫情视为一场“免洗洗手液危机”，花费太多时间关注洗手液短缺和价格哄抬，而非病毒本身。
他补充道，关闭海滩是他感到后悔的多项决策之一。

“事后看来，关闭海滩的想法荒唐至极，”他说，并补充道，他还对该州最大的公立学校系统停课时间超出必要时长感到后悔。
这段视频引发了社交媒体的轩然大波，保守派人士和部分加州民众指责纽瑟姆承认了他们认为疫情期间就显而易见的错误。
共和党前洛杉矶市长候选人斯宾塞·普拉特在X平台上发帖称：“不，加文。当时就很荒唐。我们当时都告诉你这很荒唐。你当时就知道这很荒唐。你自己就是个荒唐的人。”
“还记得我在州法院和联邦法院都起诉过你，要求开放你恶意关闭的奥兰治县海滩，你在听证会前取消了禁令，以此让我们的案件失去意义吗？”助理总检察长哈米特·迪伦在X平台上发帖称，“州长，你当时就知道这一点。”

“加文·纽瑟姆曾因一名男子独自划桨板而将其逮捕，显然他认为这会让他面临感染新冠的风险，”《本尼秀》主持人本尼·约翰逊在X平台上发帖称，“他用沙子填满滑板公园，强迫你的孩子戴口罩，让你出示疫苗接种证明才能进入任何公共场所。现在他在六年后承认这‘荒唐至极’，因为他认为自己有望竞选总统。美国人民不会忘记的。”
“你就像一名船长，驾驶油轮撞上了礁石，现在我们可以笑着听你解释说你当时什么都不知道，现在你却想掌管整个舰队，”喜剧演员亚当·卡罗拉在X平台上发帖称。
“不只是事后看来荒唐！”福克斯新闻政治分析师盖伊·本森在X平台上发帖称。
“荒唐的是关闭海滩停车场，但却允许——甚至鼓励——在同一个停车场举行‘黑人的命也是命’抗议活动，”RealClearPolitics政治记者苏珊·克拉布特里在X平台上发帖称，“同样荒唐的是，州立海滩关闭，但隔壁的城市海滩却开放，挤满了人。我永远不会忘记那一幕。”

加州于2020年3月19日成为全美第一个发布全州居家令的州，影响了近4000万居民，也是最后恢复全日制面授教学的州之一。
其他防疫限制措施包括强制佩戴口罩、关闭海滩和众多企业，以减缓病毒传播，该州甚至威胁要削减拒绝执行防疫规定的部分城市的经费。纽瑟姆还在2020年11月出席了一场高档晚宴，而当时他正推行防疫限制措施，许多批评者称此举虚伪。
由于民众对其政府处理疫情及其经济后果的不满情绪加剧，2018年当选的纽瑟姆在2021年面临罢免选举，但最终胜出。
纽瑟姆的此番表态正值新冠时代政府决策持续引发质疑之际。今年7月，安东尼·福奇博士在参议院国土安全和政府事务委员会作证时，在被问及政府应对措施时，援引第五修正案拒绝回答达111次。

Newsom says COVID beach closures were ‘insane in hindsight’

NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!
Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom generated fierce online backlash after admitting the state’s decision to close beaches amid the COVID-19 pandemic was “insane in hindsight” during an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper released this month.
“Look, everyone’s a genius in hindsight, so, you know, coulda, woulda,” Newsom told Tapper while fly-fishing in a Montana river.
When asked what he would have done differently, Newsom said people initially treated the pandemic like a “Purell-based crisis,” spending too much time on hand sanitizer shortages and price gouging instead of the virus.
He added the beach closures are one of several decisions he regrets.

“The idea that we closed beaches was insane in hindsight,” he said, before adding that he also regrets that the state’s largest public school systems remained closed longer than they should have.
The clip ignited a social media firestorm, with conservatives and some Californians accusing Newsom of acknowledging mistakes they argued were obvious during the pandemic.
In a post on X, Republican former Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt wrote, “No, Gavin. It was insane then. We all told you it was insane then. You knew it was insane then. You’re just an insane person.”
“Remember when I sued you in both state and federal court to open the beaches of Orange County that you maliciously closed, and you lifted the order so as to moot our cases before the hearings?” Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon posted on X. “You knew it back then too, Governor.”

“Gavin Newsom had a man arrested for paddleboarding alone because apparently that put him at risk of getting COVID,” Benny Johnson, host of “The Benny Show,” posted on X. “He filled skate parks with sand, forced masks on your kids, made you show a vaccine card to go anywhere in public. Now he admits it was ‘insane’ six years later because he thinks he’s going to be president. America hasn’t forgotten.”
“You are a sea captain who ran his tanker into the rocks, and now we can have a laugh as you explain that you didn’t know anything back then and that now you would like to be in charge of the fleet,” Comedian Adam Carolla posted on X.
“Not just in hindsight!” Fox News political analyst Guy Benson posted on X.
“What was insane was closing beach parking lots but allowing — even permitting — BLM protests in the same parking lots,” RealClearPolitics political correspondent Susan Crabtree posted on X. “It was also insane to see state beaches closed but city beaches right next door open and crammed with people. I’ll never forget that one.”

California became the first state to issue a statewide stay-at-home order on March 19, 2020, affecting nearly 40 million residents, and was among the last states to resume full-time, in-person learning.
Other restrictions included requiring masks, closing beaches and many businesses in an effort to slow the spread of the virus, with the state threatening to cut funding to some cities that refused to enforce them. Newsom also attended an upscale dinner in November 2020 while imposing the restrictions, which many critics called hypocritical.
Fueled by frustration over his administration’s handling of the pandemic and its economic fallout, Newsom, who was elected in 2018, faced a recall election in 2021 but ultimately won.
Newsom’s admission comes as questions about COVID-era government decisions continue. In July, Dr. Anthony Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment 111 times when asked about the government’s response while testifying before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.
