To America-haters, pro-Palestinian protests are a convenient excuse to do what they’ve been wanting to do all along.

Gavin’s worried insane Hamas supporters will make him look bad. Can Gavin Newsom really play the ‘Islamophobia’ card in support of monsters? Nope. No one is going to buy that beyond the crazies. He’s between a rock and a hard place.

Well, this will certainly send a tough message to the Jew hating terrorists masquerading as “protestors”.

Christmas: “As we continue to see protests across the country impacting the safety of events of all scales – and for the safety and security of all participating members and guests including children and families – the ceremony this year will be virtual,”

Pride Event: “We cannot allow fear and Hate to determine whether we gather together to celebrate”

The Democrats may make him their candidate in 2024, so in 2025 (assuming they steal the election again), we can have a President who can’t stand up to a handful of demonstrators but is supposed to stand up to Russia, China, Iran and North Korea.

This from Politico, 5/13/23:

President Joe Biden denounced white supremacy as the “most dangerous terrorist threat” to the nation in his commencement address to Howard University’s graduating class Saturday.

“White supremacy … is the single most dangerous terrorist threat in our homeland,” Biden said. “And I’m not just saying this because I’m at a Black HBCU. I say this wherever I go.”

So much for any political ambitions for Newsom, PeLOUSY’s nephew. He’s just flushed it down the toilet

This is why Newsom will never be able to win a direct election. If he wants to become president it will have to be through the back door. He will have to run on someone else' ticket and then have that person resign.

Define threatened to disrupt. Credible evidence?

Bombings and gunfire? Then I agree with the governor. Children are often a large part of Christmas celebrations.

Chants and signs? Beef up the police presence. Have a celebration. Sing Christmas songs and light the tree.

Don’t put newsom and back door in same sentence.

They should have the tree lighting with a big sign: come and take it.

The DemoNaziCommie party machine’s ETM (election theft machine) has proven it csn “elect” anyone, even the patently ineligible or senile. It could “elect” Newsom just as easily as Satan himself breathing fire complete with pitchfork

The GOP appears happy with the arrangement too
