Gavin Newsom Says No One Would Know Who Kamala Harris Is Without Willie Brown

California Governor Gavin Newsom has faced significant backlash over racist remarks he made while addressing voters in Georgia. However, additional clips from the same event show the Golden State governor appearing to mock former Vice President Kamala Harris, telling the crowd that few would know who she was if not for former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown.

"In the book I briefly describe, I am here because of my parents, but I am also here in political terms, because of one extraordinary human being," Newsom said. "Willie Brown. And for those that don't know Willie Brown, you wouldn't know Kamala Harris without Willie Brown."

Harris’s early political ascent was shaped in part by her relationship with Willie Brown. During their 18-month relationship in the mid-1990s, Brown, then Speaker of the California Assembly and later mayor of San Francisco, helped elevate her profile within California’s political circles. He also appointed her to two lucrative state board positions, which expanded her access to influential power brokers and major donor networks across the state.

Harris leveraged those connections in her 2003 campaign for San Francisco district attorney, a post she held until 2011. She went on to win election as California attorney general in 2010, later securing a U.S. Senate seat in 2016 before ultimately serving as vice president under President Joe Biden.

ICE Training Myths Collapse Under DHS Facts

ICE Training Myths Collapse Under DHS Facts

Quote
For months, we've heard endlessly from talking heads on dinosaur media and Democrats that ICE agents are woefully undertrained, rushing through streets using lower standards, creating chaos. They predicted constitutional abuses.

A press release by the Department of Homeland Security states that the idea is, well, bunk.

The Department of Homeland Security released hard numbers and direct statements clarifying the structure of ICE law enforcement training.

During the last administration, new recruits didn't spend much time at the academy. Not anymore.

Quote
The agency explained that ICE recruits receive 56 days of training and an average of 28 days of on-the-job training. Under the prior administration, agents trained eight hours a day, five days a week. Under President Donald Trump, new hires are being trained 12 hours a day, six days a week.

“No training requirements have been removed,” DHS stated, adding that it is the “same hours of training officers have always received.”

To further enhance the training schedule, DHS removed redundant modules and incorporated updated tools along with scenario-based exercises. The curriculum includes firearms proficiency, de-escalation tactics, and comprehensive instruction on the Fourth and Fifth Amendments.

The left has claimed the training had shrunk to 42 days and that Spanish-language instruction disappeared, preventing communication.

Both claims immediately collapsed.

Quote
Language classes, which previously covered only a specific dialect of Spanish, have been replaced with robust translation and interpretation services that apply to multiple languages. The majority of new officers brought on during the hiring surge are experienced law enforcement officers who have already successfully completed a law enforcement academy.

Among other narrative-lies, ICE-Haters have been claiming ICE officers are untrained.

But you see and hear an asshole racist carpetbagging scumbag like Newsom actually say something, and of course it didn't happen.

I think you're just cherry-picking his finer points.

Jessie, like Al Sharpton, both figured out how to become millionaires without actually having steady employment at any church.
on a side note:
Did Sharpton ever pay his back taxes?  I think the amount due was sizeable. It was enough to get any of us locked up.

     I could not care less how many proclamations they make and how much hagiography they do for dead black people. Based on this data, black history month doesn't mean shit to black people in Chicago. They can make it Jesse Jackson Year and nothing will happen other than a few gala balls for white celebrities to orally sodomize black celebrities.

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.

Ummmmm ... how did anyone MAGA force Noisome to equate being black to being disabled? Noisome jammed his political foot in his mouth on his own initiative and his comment probably was a planned remark.
