As it should, there should be no sting to this story. People have affairs in every city town village and hamlet on this planet, they most often are not national news as this one should not be.
It doesn't matter what you think or I think about Newsoms affairs, this story would have been written differently had Newsom been a Republican.
I would agree except the woman with whom he had the affair was his subordinate. The mayor has now put the city in a position where they can be sued.
I guess if your boss had sex with your wife, you'd say, "Thank you, sir, is there anything else?"
