    Cool, a clickbait headline engaging in the irrelevance fallacy of poisoning the well over a quote. Quoting someone doesn’t mean supporting everything they ever did. Newsom’s quote was recalling a time when a Republican president would say

    We’re still a nation comprised of good and decent people whose fundamental values of tolerance, compassion, and fair-play guide and direct the decisions of our government.

    in contrast to the current president who’s entirely against such ideas.

    The sensational rhetoric against quoting that is dishonest genetic fallacy.
