(Hot Air)—Gavin Newsom is attempting to redefine himself in preparation for his bid for the presidency. He is trying to thread the needle–progressive enough for Democratic primary voters, but moderate enough for moderates that he can appeal to them in the general election.
You can see this dual strategy play out online. On his social media, he is positioning himself as a Trump antagonist–hurling insults at the president and conservative governors, making wild claims about how California is a liberal paradise with no crime, immigration, or homeless problem, while his podcast appearances are all about how the leftward lurch of his party is a mistake.
If you only listen to what he says, it’s hard to say to what extent Newsom is a genuine radical–is he the man we see online and during his entire tenure as a politician in California, or is he a moderate who rejects defunding the police and questions alphabet ideology?
It’s really not complicated–as long as you look at what he has done and ignore what he says. Newsom, the flim flam man, may appear to have values not so different from most Americans, but Newsom, the governor, has been a radical lefty who has been ruining his state with radical policies that have created an exodus from the state.
