Gavin Newsom is a liar

California Gov. Gavin Newsom will be forever known for his botched coronavirus response, and now he may face a recall election because of it.

Predictably, Gruesome Newsom is out there lying about the recall's supporters. He claimed those who support recall are anti-vaxxers. That is a lie. I have already received my first dose of the vaccine. If I was an anti-vaxxer, why would I even get the vaccine? Newsom also claimed that we're anti-immigrant - also a lie. He even claimed we're Trump supporters - which is yet another lie, as I never voted for Trump. In fact, I attended numerous rallies against Trump.

Half the people out there supporting the recall are your former supporters, Gavin. Backstabbing has consequences. Plus, approving all those fracking permits and rescinding state workers' union contracts doesn't exactly help Newsom's case.

This story also illustrates how McCarthyism works. Joe McCarthy called opponents communists. The right-wing "law and order" types in my youth called opponents drug addicts and pushers. Today's political elite calls opponents anti-vaxxers. In all 3 cases, the accusers have known it wasn't true but used the accusation to score political points.

Even Justine Bateman - the actress who became a 'Net neutrality activist - signed the recall petition.

Gavin Newsom is a discredited disgrace. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo - who held out longer against COVID-19 alarmism a year ago - isn't far behind. Today, Newsom's most vocal supporters are also Cuomo's most diehard apologists even as Cuomo is facing numerous sexual harassment allegations. A dissenter from the Newsom order pointed out that Newsom's website to fight the recall effort contains messaging that is no different from "the garbage used by Fox News." It truly isn't much different, as the website is steeped in classism, lies, fear, paranoid style, and terrifying imagery. That's all the DLC has. No real ideas. Just finger-pointing trash.
