Gavin Newsom lobbed out its most recent attack against Chevron on Thursday, the latest in a months-long tit-for-tat between the two. The governor’s office shared a screenshot of a news article detailing how the oil giant expected first-quarter earnings to rise between $1.6 billion and $2.2 billion, “fueled by higher oil prices due to the Iran war.” “While America suffers, Chevron profits,” his team wrote above the post.
The California Post reached out to Chevron for comment. Chevron has been clashing with the governor over the state’s energy policies.
