The American Spectator "Biden is toxic for those seeking the Oval Office." But does he know it or even care?
. . ."This weekend, Newsom will take one more step toward solidifying his role as the leader of the opposition against Trump when he hosts the Democratic governors for their winter meeting and seeks to set the tone for the next four years." . . .
"Gavin Newsom is going full-speed ahead with his presidential bid — and he’s hardly being shy about it.
"This week, he made a major, necessary move given the current environment: splitting from Joe Biden. On Tuesday, Newsom told Politico that he is “disappointed” with Biden’s decision to pardon his son Hunter Biden. The carefully crafted quote read: “With everything the president and his family have been through, I completely understand the instinct to protect Hunter. But I took the president at his word. So by definition, I’m disappointed and can’t support the decision.”
"Newsom’s disavowal of the president’s action begins to remedy the major mistake he made over the past year: siding with Biden over and over again, and vocally so, even as it became increasingly clear that Biden was not remotely up to the task of the presidency and had no prayer of being elected.
"Even when other Democrats, including Rep. Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, were demanding behind closed doors that the president pull out of the race, Newsom was appearing on cable news show after cable news show to claim that the president was as sharp as ever.
"Newsom took his defense of Biden so far that he embarked on a campaign tour of swing states to vouch for the president after the disastrous debate. At one Biden rescue mission in western Michigan, on the Fourth of July no less, Newsom said, “I’m all in, and not only that, I’m here with you to prove it.” In fact, Newsom’s efforts to support Biden even while powerful Democrats worked to force the president out were so all-encompassing and impactful that he single-handedly kept Joe Biden’s campaign on life support for over a month.
"Newsom is running from this reality now that Biden’s desperate effort to remain in the race is being looked upon by Democrats as selfish, conceited, and foolish — a nearly evil endeavor that cost Democrats the presidency and handed it to “fascist” Donald Trump. For instance, Axios reported yesterday that Biden is “loathed by many Democrats who blame him for twin sins of selfishness: running again, then pardoning Hunter after repeatedly saying he wouldn’t.” . . .
'Free Palestine' Supporter Shoots Two Kindergarteners at CA Christian School - Where's Newsom's Outrage? . . ."Another possible reason for Newsom's relative silence on this case is that Litton was a mentally ill homeless person who'd been arrested three times in the last month in various California jurisdictions and released on his own recognizance (yes, even as a convicted felon!), so it highlights Newsom's utter incompetence in dealing with homelessness and crime." . . .
. . ."Contrast that with Newsom's response when a Muslim boy in Illinois - which, obviously, is not the state he leads - was stabbed to death in another religiously-targeted killing:
My heart broke when Wadea al-Fayoume, a 6-year-old child, was stabbed to death in Chicago—he and his mother viciously attacked because they were Palestinian and Muslim. I grieved not just for Wadea and his family but for all who felt less safe after that devastating tragedy, who wondered whether they or their children might also be targeted because of their Muslim faith or Palestinian heritage. This sort of horror doesn’t just inflict violence on one life or one family—it tears at the safety and belonging of whole communities.
