Oh, this greasy phony baloney. There are times he outflimflams himself, and the performance is so bad, and such a flagrantly outrageous lie, you have to watch, mesmerized. Like a chicken watching a cobra, cuz that's kind of what his twitchy hands look like.
If any of you are unfamiliar with my headline, it's a reference to a really goofy 1979 Steve Martin flick called The Jerk. In the heartwarming yet heartrending opening scene, young, simple-minded Nathan (played with tremendous emotional range by Martin) learns that life has played a cruel joke on him. The poor, black sharecropping family who lovingly raised him to adulthood is not his biological family.
His whole life has been a lie. His feeling of being 'different' from the rest of his family existed because he was. And he goes off to make his way in the world.
Shockingly, this is what we're finding, thanks to a confession during a recent podcast appearance, is parallel to Gavin Newsom's origin story. It's only short of a family of black sharecroppers (but I have faith - give it a couple of retellings).
Little did anyone guess that the slick, urbane, gleaming-toothed weasel grew up a poor child of the streets, like Oliver Twist. Where life was all about paying the bills and wondering where the next moldy piece of Wonder Bread would come from.
...“My mom was 19, pregnant and divorced a few years later, with two kids,” he said on the podcast. “Came from no money and just hustled. You know, worked hard, grinding every single day. Two and a half jobs, no bulls—.”
“We had roommates all the time because she couldn’t afford the rent,” he continued. “…It was also about paying the bills, man. It was just like hustling and and so I was out there, kind of raising myself, turning on the TV, just getting obsessed. I was sitting there with the Wonder Bread…the macaroni and cheese.”
Throughout his career, Newsom has told similar hardscrabble stories implying that he grew up in poverty or in the lower echelons of the middle class, seeking to be more relatable to voters.
But here's the real story:
...Before Gavin became Mayor of SF his father did an interview with SF Weekly. The newspaper then published an article entitled "Bringing Up Baby Gavin." The article is no longer on the SF Weekly website but it wasn't difficult to find an archived version of it.
Most people know about Newsom's father and the Getty family but there's some great details in this article. Gavin Newsom's father was a judge who used his position to help Gordon Getty get access to the Getty family money. He even helped Gordon Getty sue his own father to get access to the family trust. In return for these favors and many others, Gordon Getty put him in charge of managing a massive amount of money. Guess how Gavin got the funds to start his fancy businesses at such a young age.
In 10 of Gavin's first 11 businesses, the primary money came from the Getty family.
Gavin Newsom currently claims that he got his start in politics after Willie Brown read an article about him, called him and offered him a position. That's not at all what Gavin's father said in 2003. Gavin's father said he was responsible for Willie Brown giving Newsom his start. That makes a little more sense.
