I saw this guy in the Democrat Presidential debates in 2020.

He was the most disgusting hateful useless mean nasty piece of human waste I have ever encountered.

(I am being nice. The guy is raw evil.)

These two things are incompatible. Guess which one they will pick?

Of course that rancid, uber-liberal fool wants power over the people of Calif. No surprise at all. The voters of Calif are dumb enough to elect this cretinous moron too. Steyer is one guy I’d like to see disappear from politics.

Why does the left always find the worst of the worst to run in California?
