Gavin Newsom's podcast pivot leaves listeners confused and sets Democrats on edge
The California governor’s about-face retreat from leading critic of President Donald Trump to MAGA-curious pundit comes at a critical moment for the state
If you follow CA politics, he isn't as progressive as you would hope. He speaks money first. We don't need anymore centrist elistist corporate dems.
Washington just got similarly boned with Bob Ferguson... He is protecting a sex pest in his ranks.
He kicked ass as AG and I already regret backing him. Why is this so fucking hard for these people??
Newsom has always been a politician first, and now he sees the wind blowing MAGA and seems to be charting a MAGA-lite course. He has no principles or ethics, it's all about what will bring him power.
Slap a red hat on him to make it official.
He’s going to run for president in 2028. With the number of people repeating the trope about how the anti-Trump coalition needs a straight white man, I worry that Newsom will actually be the candidate.
I sure fucking hope not. He is widely disliked on the Left and hated on the right. We need someone who doesn't already have a negative audience perception.
widely disliked on the Left and hated on the right
The perfect democratic candidate. Bound to lose. I can't wait to blame the voters.
The DNC hears ya, the DNC don't care.
The man was married to Kimberly Guilfoyle for five years. That's kinda all you need to know.
He’s not the first or last person to throw away a promising career to make a shitty, embarrassing podcast.
Arguably his career is over: supposedly he can’t be re-elected.
So what’s his next career or where does he want to pivot?
- A lot of people have been expecting national office, but he’s been villainized by the right enough that maybe he’s trying to freshen his image. Somehow trumps tv show freshened his image, so his con man past of broken contracts, failing businesses, and ridiculous ego didn’t hurt his election
- but a lot of former politicians do well as talking heads. Maybe that’s his gig
Who is confused by this? The california fash (aka liberals) who hate the homeless? Or the fash who hate trans people?
Are californians/libs really so blind to who they actually are?
They voted to continue to use slave labor and they call themselves progressive. Yes.
Yes, they are.
The guy's a used condom but who knew he's also got a head full of sawdust? I mean, him thinking this limp dick centrist podcast route would springboard him to the forefront of the dem nomination is peak galaxy brain.
He's WEF (World Economic Forum). The Great Reset, "You'll own nothing and be happy."
