Allies to Gov. Gavin Newsom are working hard to link the ongoing recall efforts to last week's riots at the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to save a governor facing public fury over his handling of the pandemic.
Throughout the recall process, Newsom allies have worked to tie the recall to President Donald Trump — a politically toxic figure in California — and during a Tuesday press conference, California Democratic Party chair Rusty Hicks and other state Democrats went as far to call the recall a "California coup."
Newly elected San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria also spoke at the press conference and said the recall is similar to the Capitol riots since it seeks to "overturn a democratic election."

There were no riots at the Capitol.
There are four lights.
Newsom is obviously getting nervous and spinning whichever way he can. I like it when politicians feel the heat.
The recall petition won’t matter. If it gets to a vote, well, Newsom control the vote count. It is the norm now and will not be questioned by lawmakers or judges.
Sum Ting Wong Mr. Ting.
The recall efforts have been going on for some time now.
Sadly, you are correct.
Sadly, I am coming to the same conclusion.
