Newsom touts victory over recall as rejection of 'Trumpism'
The Hill ^ | 09/15/2021 | Max Greenwood

Posted on 09/15/2021 6:10:58 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

California Gov. Gavin Newsom took a victory lap on Tuesday after voters rejected an effort to recall him from the governor’s mansion, casting his win as a rejection of “the negativity that’s defined our politics in this country over the course of so many years.”

In remarks delivered in Sacramento minutes after he was declared the winner of the recall election, Newsom said that with his victory, Californians had voted to safeguard democracy, taking a swipe at his main Republican opponent, conservative radio host Larry Elder, and former President Donald Trump, who had raised baseless claims of fraud ahead of the Tuesday vote.

“Democracy is not football. You don’t throw it around,” Newsom said. “It’s more like an antique vase. You can drop it and smash it in a million different pieces. And that’s what we’re capable of doing if we don’t stand up and push back.”

It is the cheating, fraud, manipulation control, devious behavior. There was no other outcome, it was already ordained before it began.

I've had that tagline since Nov. 2000 and I've never seen a reason to change it. I've believed it since.

The ballot box does indeed, no longer matter. Best stock up (if you can find it) if you haven't already. 'Nuff said.

It has to be about President Trump. Without him, the media and Newsom have no boogeyman.

It had to be about President Trump b/c Newsom had nothing else to run on.

He couldn't run on his own disastrous record.

Never, ever mentioned during the run-up to the recall - by the media or Harris or Biden - or by any other Democrat was all the "great things Newsom had done for the state."

Because there isn't a single thing that I can think of.

Exactly.

I don’t believe this was an honest election.

Can’t wait ‘til Dems start playing the race baiting game again. Wait a minute…..they aren’t Democrats. There are no Democrats. This is a mixture of parties feeding off of each other and they’re all answerable to China for their bread and butter. They are the Un-American Party.

To add on, we’ve learned Newsom and his wife are enablers of a sexual predator, yet Trump is the problem!

There should never be fraud by mail in any election.

Sane Californians need to unass that crazy state. No doubt they would take valuable skills and tax dollars with them.

Unfortunately, Larry E. has a face for radio.

The only television ad I saw used unflattering close ups of Larry's face while he stuttered his policy goals.

More illegals, more crime, more homeless, more wildfires, higher gas prices and more misery and grief. I can’t think of a more deserving group of voters.

Zapata said it best: “Better to die on your feet than live on your knees”. Admittedly, easy to say, but hard to do, especially when you have something to lose. I’m doing small acts of defiance where I can, figure anything helps. Also learning to be more self-sufficient with gardening and such. It’s not much, but helps psyche, just nice getting out of “ corporate” mindset. The system needs me, I don’t need it.

I think Newsom is now the front runner in the 2024 presidential race. We all know Biden is a lame duck, A very dangerous lame duck, but a lame duck never the less. Harris, looks to me like a non entry. This overwhelming win (2-1) makes Newsom the strongest Democrat governor and with the Democrat machine behind him and only the Republicans opposing him, he is a shoo in.

Now that is pretty terrifying, but also very true. He’s their best bet right now.

I’ve gone from nagging him to go shooting to nagging him to go to the ammo store.

To think the deformed brains in California lead this entire
nation is a horrific thought, indeed. Are these people CRAZY? No, just trapped in a hamster cage.

LORD, we ask You make it known an election audit in this state is very necessary. The fraud must be stopped immediately for the survival of this nation. Please make this so. Amen.

I’m looking at Alabama or Mississipi. Georgia’s getting shakey.

California deserves the anus they want. I hope to not hear any of those idiots complaining about that communist state.

Let them die of their own stupidity.

The frightening aspect of the Marxist takeover of our government is our inability to stop it through the ballot box.
