EXCLUSIVE: Newsom on Democrats: ‘I don’t know what the party is’
The Hill ^ | April 22, 2025 | Aime Parnes

Posted on 04/22/2025 9:39:46 AM PDT by Racketeer

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is accusing the Democratic Party of not yet performing a thorough autopsy on what went wrong in its devastating loss of the White House and Senate majority in November.

In an exclusive sit-down interview with The Hill on Monday, Newsom said that if the party wants to find its way back from the wilderness, it has to be willing to look inward at what led to the losses — and the failure to win back the House majority.

“We have not done a forensic of what just went wrong, period, full stop,” Newsom said. “I don’t think it, I know it. I mean, to the extent that I’m marginally part of this party, I represent the state larger than 21 state populations combined, and I can assure you there’s not been a party discussion that I’m aware of that has included the state of California.”

Later in the interview, Newsom said he wasn’t sure what the Democratic Party truly represents, who is leading it or where it wants to go.

“I don’t know what the party is,” he said. “I’m still struggling with that.”

Newsome is California.

And California government is a disaster for Californians.

Newsome wants the Democratic nomination for President so he’s pretending that he’s a moderate who can’t possibly be responsible for the State that he’s in charge of.

In a way he isn’t responsible since he basically is a do nothing who lets the radicals in California run the show.

Here's your sign ⚠️⚠️⚠️

That Old Serpent 🐍 called the Devil and Satan is doing an excellent job destroying society with this madness - hard to believe that there are actually people defending this stuff



I come not to praise the Democratic Party; but to bury it.

Triangulation. Bill Clinton did it. Run away from the crazies during the election.

He had a hand in turning it far left away from the average voter (not only in Cali-fornia, but is America). He is one of the biggest hypocrits in HIS party.

Kamala Harris became the face of the party, and the hoofprints were Joe Biden’s. Between these two, a disqualifier like Tim Walz wasn’t even necessary.

In addition, Pres. Trump’s reaction to being shot in Butler was impressive even to many on the left.

Sometimes it’s a set of ideas that people vote for, but it’s always a person. A man of courage and authenticity will always beat a shifty, incoherent and inauthentic woman.

He has been a DNC insider for decades.
This is all Clinton Triangulation trying to be a fake moderate.
He is a hard core radical

Like any narcissist, they lack the ability to self reflect. The post mortem ain’t going to happen.

And I thought the Republican Party was, “The stupid Party.” These clueless assholes have no self awareness. Advocating illegal aliens, arson, looting, rioting, and murder is no way to go through political life. They are so dumb that they don’t realize that they ethically and morally bankrupt.

“to the extent that I’m marginally part of this party,”

What a liar.

Deeply flawed as he is, Newsom is their only chance in 2028.

Gavin Newsom can "pretend" to be a moderate when he's running his presidential campaign to fool enough independent voters he'll need to become the next POTUS.

Others? Unlikely. Andy Beshear is a potential dark horse.

The thing is that Bill Clinton was somewhat a "Blue Dog". He was actually authentic regarding his "Third Way" politics.

Doesn’t he have a city to clean up and rebuild after the fire? He’s yapping on a podcast like an idiot.

Newsom sounds like a guy who's about to pull a Trump.

But unlike Trump, I don't trust Newsom at all. He's a complete weasel. He will run to the center, but govern like a communist if he should fool enough people to win.

I’m thankful they are stupid. If they were smart, they’d choose the governor of Kentucky. Glad they are idiots.
