Gov. Gavin Newsom grinned like Cheshire at civil rights icon Jesse Jackson’s public memorial service Friday – treating it as a campaign event as the rumored 2028 presidential hopeful schmoozed with Democratic heavyweights including Presidents Obama and Clinton.

The California governor was pictured working the room and snapping selfies with Democratic party elites, as thousands of people gathered at a church on Chicago’s South Side to pay a final public tribute to Jackson.

In one telling moment, Obama, who was front row at the event, turned around and pointed directly at Newsom, who’s also been on the publicity trail for his book “Young Man in a Hurry.” Social media was buzzing Friday analyzing the meaning of the gesture.

I’d bet good money Zero hates the creep, if only because he’s better looking, a bonfire of vanities if you will.

I can’t see this idiot, who has ruined my home state of California, appealing to anyone in fly-over country - where there are a LOT of votes.

He’s a slick coastal guy, popular among elites like himself on both coasts, but not among average folk in the state who are the victims of his green and climate change policies (gas is over $5.00/gallon today...).

Republican Steve Hilton is leading at the moment for California’s next governor. He has a lot to overcome like vote fraud, mail-in ballots, vote harvesting and illegals voting.

Not that long ago an an endorsement by obama was considered to be the kiss of death. Maybe he thinks America has forgotten he gave us biden. Biden gave us harris and harris wanted to give us walz.

Newsom, an expected 2028 presidential contender..

Lord help us if that should happen. Every RAT iteration of leadership swings the pendulum farther left into the Theatre of the Absurd.

You can NOT hate these evil people enough.

No.

The only thing Hilton needs to ensure is for the other GOP guy, the county sheriff, to come in 2nd.
