Gov. Gavin Newsom is pulling out all the stops to paint the people trying to recall him as conservative Republicans.

He's run ads on Facebook that say the effort is all about "riling up that Trump base."

He's emailing donors saying "anti-maskers, anti-vaxxers, and notably, some of Trump's biggest donors" are pushing the recall.

He's sending supporters bumper stickers that say "Stop the Republican Recall," the official name of his campaign.

San Diego-based Republican political consultant Jennifer Jacobs said she thinks support for the recall goes beyond politics.

"It screams desperation," Jacobs said of the Republican recall branding. "I think they've lost touch with the working people of this state that they've taken for granted for a long time... They are being dismissive of all those other people."

Randy Economy, an adviser to the recall, said Newsom's branding discounts all the Democrats and independents who have signed.

"We keep saying this is not a Republican recall, this is a group of concerned citizens," he said. "This is bigger than politics."

I helped with signing recall and my favorite moment was when two lil old ladies, pushing 80, asked if they sign. "We are Democrats, can we sign?"

"Sure. This is your state" I said.

As they were signing one of the lil old ladies piped up after signing "Fck Him!" and I said "Did Grandma just use the F word?" as I laughed. She winked and wished us luck.

Too damn funny

Recall the narcissistic, adulterous bastard.

The recall is already in place. But for it to have any meaning, we must have the “rule of law”. The Democrats give this concept lip service, but when push comes to shove, they will shove “rule of law” out the window.

Somehow, they will try and de-legitimize this Recall effort. Sure, all those California voters who signed it will be roasting mad. So? Newsom knows which side the Fascist jackboot is buttered.

Hope I used enough political clichés, have a happy April 1st!

It is going to happen.

Glad for you Californians and a chance to Gray Davis this Hellspawn. Even if the Recall vote is merely close, he's tainted and the Dems will never chance him nationally.

Of course, after Karamela there might not be much left of Kali or anywhere else...
