California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) on Tuesday said he’s still “stunned” by the eight senators who voted with Republicans to reopen the government, a deal his office previously called a “surrender.”
After holding a rally in Houston last week to tout California’s redistricting measure’s victory and criticize Texas Republicans’ own move to redrew district maps, Newsom attended the COP30 UN Climate Conference in Belém, Brazil. There, he told The Associated Press that at his “core, I’m stunned.”
“I’m not coming in to punch anybody in the face, but I’m not pleased that, in the face of this invasive species that is Donald Trump, who’s completely changed the rules of the game, that we’re still playing by the old rules of the game,” the West Coast Democrat said.
Yeah, for all his slick press releases, Newsom very much fits the latter category.
He’s a Neoliberal demagogue shill for billionaires trying to launch a presidential bid. That’s all there is to it.
He’s much better at communicating and dealing with the present day republican tactics than most in the party, but we know that, at heart, they all have corporate greed as their master.
