Snake Gavin Newsom Tosses LA Mayor Karen Bass Under the Bus, Takes NO Accountability For Tanking California
You gotta hand it to Gavin Newsom. As far as politicians, go, he is a politician’s politician. Which is to say, he has the morals of an electric eel, the ethics of a bank robber, and the values of a Mafia boss.
Case in point: He just threw fellow lefty Democrat and L. A. Mayor Karen Bass right under a bus so he doesn’t have to accept any responsibility for the trainwreck that is California.
Not one thing – affordability, gas prices, housing prices, auto insurance prices, homelessness, etc. – has improved under his watch. In fact, everything has gotten noticably worse.
Oh sure, he’ll tell you he’s led the state to become the world’s 4th largest economy, but the downside is literally everything else about life in California is worse under his watch.
On the homelessness issue alone, Newsom has been a horrible failure. Worse, he pinned the problem on local officials during an appearance on “The Prof G Pod” podcast with host Scott Galloway. He barely even acknowledged that, as leader of the state for the past 7 years, he’s been a huge failure on the issue.
On the “The Prof G Pod” podcast, Galloway pointed to Los Angeles as an example [of failure]: “LA does feel like as a proxy for — if Democrats can’t figure out a way to run cities and operate them well, we’re just going to have trouble across the whole federal stack in terms of elections.” [Ya think, Gav?]
This bozo.
No doubt, Bass, who’s in a real brawl for her reelection against Palisades fire victim Spencer Pratt, didn’t think much of Newsom’s podcast answer:
What happened to the $24 billion, buddy
While Newsom said that progress has been made in California, he admitted it has not been visible or felt as much as it should.
“The ultimate manifestation of that failure, the byproduct of the affordability crisis, what’s happening as it relates to street homelessness,” he said. “Unsheltered homelessness, encampments in particular, the permissiveness particularly that came at peak during and after COVID as it relates to tents out on the streets and sidewalks, the quality of life, the diminution of quality of life and this notion that we couldn’t do anything about it.
”
When, in fact, the degradation of the communities, the businesses that were impacted by that, the family structure — you know, mom that just wants to walk his or her kid down to the playground, or in the stroller — was outraged and furious and didn’t trust government.”
He’d better be hoping and praying that GOP candidate Steve Hilton doesn’t win the governor’s race to replace him:
But Newsom, the snake, wasn’t done:
“Somehow we were applying the standard that it was compassionate to step over people in the streets and the sidewalks in the name of, you know, their personal liberty,” he said.
For the first time in close to two decades, Scott — no other governor has been able to say this in decades — we’ve seen almost a double digit decrease in unsheltered homeless in the state of California
The nerve of this guy. Republicans and conservatives have been screaming these things from rooftops for decades. Democrats like Newsom were ignoring them because, after all, they’re really commies and creating the chaos is the point.
Then came this lie:
For the first time in close to two decades, Scott — no other governor has been able to say this in decades — we’ve seen almost a double-digit decrease in unsheltered homeless in the state of California
Uh, no, there’s been no universal drop in homelessness. There’s been an increase, and Newsom got the ol’ “Community Notes” treatment on X:
Again, Newsom will do and say anything for power. The last job in politics he should ever have is governor of California.
