California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) on Tuesday said heās still āstunnedā by the eight senators who voted with Republicans to reopen the government, a deal his office previously called a āsurrender.ā
After holding a rally in Houston last week to tout Californiaās redistricting measureās victory and criticize Texas Republicansā own move to redrew district maps, Newsom attended the COP30 UN Climate Conference in BelĆ©m, Brazil. There, he told The Associated Press that at his ācore, Iām stunned.ā
āIām not coming in to punch anybody in the face, but Iām not pleased that, in the face of this invasive species that is Donald Trump, whoās completely changed the rules of the game, that weāre still playing by the old rules of the game,ā the West Coast Democrat said.
anyone pretending that the 8 dissenting Dems are acting in good faith is either delusional or part of the problem
Yeah, for all his slick press releases, Newsom very much fits the latter category.
Heās a Neoliberal demagogue shill for billionaires trying to launch a presidential bid. Thatās all there is to it.
Heās 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.
