Another thread where the sooper-smart DUmmies claim that this was all a MAGA set-up:
On Gavin Newsom: It was an intentional and premeditated lie spread by the same paid MAGA influencer and bot network

All right, take race out of it, just for the sake of argument, because Newsom is absolutely a condescending prick. Now there is NO WAY to escape what he said: "You guys are stupid, or at least I think so. And look, I'm better than you, because I'm governor of a whole-assed state. But when you get right down to it, I'm like you: I'm an idiot. Don't you like me better now?"
Not sure how that helps. I know white people are hapless morons on television shows and commercials, but most of us live in the real world, and a faggoty cuckold rich kid from California has zero credibility. His strategy of lowering himself to attempt to appeal to flyover country rubes is not going to work in a national election (just ask Walz).
So which is it, liberals: is Newsom a racist asshole, or a condescending asshole? Either way: he's an asshole.
