He's quite the jerk when he thinks he's off camera.
When's a reporter not a reporter, just a public relations adjunct of an incompetent, scandal-ridden, Democrat?
When Xavier Becerra, Democrat frontrunner in the California gubernatorial race by default after Eric Swalwell's embarrassing exit, is around.
Get a load of this disgusting exchange, attempting to intimidate a KTLA reporter into producing a puff piece about him: [X video at article link]
He's trying to come off as a mafia boss, which isn't inconsistent with what insiders have said about him, yet he's also quite the smug, self-satisfied, twerpy little jerk, trying to scare the very calm, professional, KTLA reporter into writing a flattering 'profile' as he calls it, about him. What he meant, of course, was puff piece.
Here's the Grok transcript, telling the reporter how to do her job:
Reporter: "With Xavier Becerra in Highland Park."
Becerra: "By the way, this is a profile piece, this is not a gotcha piece, right?"

I doubt that this influences any leftists.
LOL. So which Democrat do you want? The Mafia boss who threatens reporters who don't write puff pieces on him? Or loathsome rage addict Katie Porter who dumped a steaming hot bowl of mashed potatoes on her beta male husband because he dared to contradict her and regularly screams as staffers? I'll take Katie.
Was just about to look up the rapist. The perp is still married.
Disgraced Rep. Eric Swalwell’s wife breaks cover outside DC home
Libs don't care.
From the headline I expected more than that.
“And we have newspaper people on the payroll, don’t we, Tom?”
Leftists probably couldn’t tell you anything about him. They know he is a fellow traveler and he has a D behind his name.
Butter him up, He’s toast..........
This reporter, unlike most other msm reporters that fawn over him, summed him up perfectly.
Unfortunately, as California is a deep blue state, with plenty of vote fraud, illegals voting, stupid voters, he may well be the next governor of the state.
I hope the folks at KTLA post the video on you tube. I’d watch just for S&G. I haven’t come across the “Today’s Toons” yet and could use a good laugh.
