Daily Wire's senior editor, Kevin Phillips, reports.

In a Fox Business interview with the World Economic Forum, Besant discussed the Trump administration's plan to limit or ban large institutional investors from buying single-family homes.

Governor Newsom reposted that clip, mocking Besant on X, writing, quote, Could this smug man be more out of touch?

When asked about the slight, Besant fired back.

Following the spat, Governor Newsom's press office said the governor was denied entry into the official headquarters for the U.S.

delegation in Davos.

When asked about the incident, White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly told The Daily Wire, quote, No one in Davos knows who third-rate Governor Newsom is or why he is frolicking around Switzerland instead of fixing the many problems he created in California.
